MANDARIN ORIENTAL
HAS FOURTEEN.
Mandarin Oriental sits on Paradise Bay, on its own peninsula between Göltürkbükü and Cennet Koyu. Two private beaches, 132 rooms and suites, a 2,700sqm spa, and — as of the 2025 season - 14 restaurants and bars. That number isn't a boast. It's a programme.
This is not a resort that happens to have food. It's a dining campus that happens to have rooms.
Hakkasan, ROKA, Gigi, Ferdi Baba, Blue Beach Club - each one operates as a standalone concept, not a hotel restaurant. The kitchen credentials are international: Azumi Group (the people behind Zuma) brought ROKA and a new beachside format.
Paris Society launched Gigi Rigolatto as a seasonal pop-up. Hakkasan has been here for years and remains the most consistent Chinese kitchen on the Aegean coast.
For Veluma guests in Villa "A" and Villa "B", all of this is on your doorstep. You're within the resort grounds. The golf cart takes three minutes.
That changes the stay entirely.
TWO BEACHES. DIFFERENT ENERGY. SAME BAY
TWO BEACHES. DIFFERENT
ENERGY. SAME BAY
Mandarin Oriental operates two private beaches on Paradise Bay.
The main beach - home to Blue Beach Club & Bar is the broader, more social stretch. Sunbeds, cabanas, light food through the day, and a front-row view of the passing yacht traffic. This is where the daytime unfolds.
The second beach sits further along the peninsula, quieter, less structured. It's where you go when you want the water without the scene.
Both are exclusively for resort guests and villa residents. No day passes, no walk-ins. That distinction
matters in peak season when every other beach club on the peninsula is running at capacity.
Blue Beach Club runs from April through October. The menu covers Turkish specialities kebap, doner, pizza, homemade ice cream and light Mediterranean options. It's not fine dining.
It's beachside eating done properly, without pretension.
In the 2025 season, the beach programme expanded with Alo the wellness and fashion brand launching a co-branded beach club concept with sunrise yoga, sound healing, Pilates, and meditation sessions led by
Alo instructors. A 700sqft boutique sits on-site with an iroko wood exterior treated in Shou Sugi Ban.
Previous seasons have seen Louis Vuitton redesign the entire Blue Beach Club for the summer — branded loungers, a pop-up store, and inclusion in the LV Summer Resorts City Guide. The brand partnerships rotate, but the signal is consistent: this is the beach that fashion houses choose to associate with in Bodrum.

HOW WE WORK WITH MANDARIN ORIENTAL
Our villas are within the Mandarin Oriental grounds. That means full resort access beaches, spa, dining, wellness is built into every Veluma stay. No day passes. No guest lists. You're a resident, not a visitor.
We handle all restaurant bookings across the 14 outlets, coordinate with the resort concierge, and manage the details from a quiet Ferdi Baba lunch to a Hakkasan evening with specific table placement.
The resort is the infrastructure. Veluma is the layer on top.
