Ruya Partial Sea Göltürkbükü Mahallesi - Bodrum - Turkey

Description

An access road weaves its way through the trees before revealing one’s first glimpse of Resort and its graceful setting. Inspired by the region’s traditional architecture and building methods, the resort ascends through a series of elevated levels, making the most of the sea views whilst offering a variety of courtyards and terraces. The resort combines Mediterranean and Ottoman architectural design elements to provide a sense of place, space and luxury, yet still has the intimate and organic ambience of a village complementing and respecting the property’s pristine natural surrounds. An intricate interplay of light and shadow dapples narrow pathways and courtyards – some open, others tucked away for quiet moments. Building materials include local stone for structural walls, dark acajou wood for furniture, windows and door fittings, white Turkish marble for floors and hand-carved stone for interior wall details. Together, they form a timeless natural palette with clean lines and a contemporary feel.
