How to Book Amanruya: An Aegean Retreat on the Bodrum Peninsula

Amanruya, whose name means peaceful dream, sits among pine forests and olive groves on the quiet north coast of the Bodrum Peninsula, above a private pebble beach on the turquoise Aegean. It is Aman's take on the Turkish coast: unhurried, scented with pine and sea, and built entirely of free-standing stone pavilions, each with its own private pool. Booking through a preferred-partner advisory costs the same as booking direct, with recognition and benefits added at no extra cost.

Amanruya looks north across the Aegean from a hillside of ancient pine and olive, a calmer and more private stretch of the Bodrum Peninsula than the busy resorts to the south. A private pebble beach sits below, and the sea here is the clear, deep blue the region is known for. It is within reach of Bodrum town and its castle, yet entirely secluded.

Accommodation is a collection of free-standing pavilions, from the Garden View and Sea View Pavilions to the larger suites, each a private walled sanctuary with a terrace and its own swimming pool. The architecture draws on local stone and timber, with pitched timber ceilings and a palette taken from the landscape, so that every pavilion feels like a private villa.

Dining moves between Mediterranean and Aegean cuisine built on local produce and seafood and a dedicated Japanese counter, Sushi by Amanruya, with meals served by the beach, the pool or in your own pavilion. The emphasis is on the simplicity and freshness the setting invites.

Amanruya is the Aegean at its most peaceful, pine-scented pavilions with private pools above a quiet pebble beach.
