Riva Bodrum Resort

Set along the picturesque shores of Gumbet in southwest Turkey, the Riva Bodrum Resort is a Turkish delight. This resort is perched on a hillside between the bays of Gumbet and Bitez, and just a few minutes’ walk from the nearest beach. With its stunning location and panoramic views of the Aegean Sea, this whitewashed resort offers a haven of relaxation and indulgence. 

For those looking to get out and explore the surroundings, Gumbet’s town centre is just a short stroll away, offering an array of local shops, restaurants, and nightlife options. Additionally, you can visit nearby attractions, such as Bodrum Castle, Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, and the lively Bodrum Marina.

Back at base, unwind in comfortable rooms and suites, complete with modern amenities to ensure a pleasant stay. You can choose to stay in the main building, or in one of the villa-style blocks that are scattered around the complex. Some rooms feature private balconies overlooking the azure waters, while they’re all fitted with air-conditioning, a flatscreen TV, free Wi-Fi, and an en-suite bathroom.

You won’t want to be inside for long, however – there’s a range of facilities and lots of fun in the sun to be had, including three outside swimming pools, one of which has views overlooking the bay, a basketball court and pool tables. There’s also a fitness centre, and a rejuvenating spa offering a variety of treatments so you can really start to relax. Culinary delights await at the resort’s restaurant, which serves Turkish and international cuisine, and the bar and café offers a chilled-out atmosphere for a refreshing drink or two.
