Little surprise when you think about the superb local weather, which implies the summery climate extends nicely into the autumn, the great thing about the shoreline, and the surprise of the legendary Aegean sea. I’ve been travelling to this a part of the world for a few years, nearly like a pilgrim, as I am keen on becoming a member of ScicSailing cruises. This time we had an unique constitution of a gulet with buddies, and on the finish of the journey, I knew I needed to remain in Bodrum and to find what METT is all about.
Location
Bodrum, regardless of its exponential development as a yachting and resort vacation spot over the previous a long time, has retained a lot of its genuine id. There is no such thing as a high-rise growth, so the contours of the pine-clad hills that encompass the bays stay. METT is positioned proper on one in every of these idyllic bays, with views out to Greek islands. From Isola, the resort’s stylish Italian restaurant, the views are proper over Bodrum harbour, to the fort. It actually doesn’t get higher than that!
The resort is constructed on a hillside that runs right down to a non-public seashore, so from every stage of the lodge, you get commanding views.
The journey begins upon arrival. The double-height reception is flooded with mild from a panoramic window that frames the ocean view – it’s the type of high-impact arrival that makes reminiscences. The crew are younger, impeccably offered, but assured of their relaxed, youthful model. A welcome cocktail makes check-in, seated on a settee by the image window, a delight.

Eating
The culinary experiences at METT are definitely the place the resort exhibits its distinctive id. Away from the tranquillity of the MOI spa and the rejuvenation of the Turkish hammam, company can discover tempting sustenance and fascinating leisure with a novel atmosphere at Folie and Isola.
Folie
We loved lunch at Folie, and what a lunch! This unique seashore membership is the quintessential Mediterranean restaurant. Set on a platform over the water, with the summer time daylight filtered by the wood pergola. The placement is beautiful and even if you’re not a lodge visitor that is the place you may make a day of it having fun with cocktails, an extended lunch and vigorous leisure. Be warned the amount is cranked up quickly and the restaurant and seashore membership is reworked into an open stage for singers, musicians, and cabaret acts.
There’s a young service too should you arrive by yourself yacht constitution. The tunes and enjoyable final nicely into the early night – that is the social and leisure hub of the resort.
Isola
Set barely adjoining to the principle property, Isola overlooks Bodrum harbour and the medieval fort. That is the place we had dinner. The alfresco terrace is the place to be – beginning with cocktails on the lengthy bar, with DJ units making a cool vibe. The delicacies is Italian and the setting is gloriously Mediterranean with illuminated olive bushes, a balmy breeze and an excellent sea view.
Further eating choices additionally embrace the Gulet, an elegant sea view terrace restaurant for lunch alfresco, and Angel, a summer time pop-up restaurant brings the genuine flavours and aromas of Turkish delicacies
