Villa Elysian Pavilion

A Coastal Sanctuary in the Bodrum Hills

Set along nearly a kilometre of private Aegean coastline on Turkey’s Bodrum Peninsula, Elysian Resort is bordered by a forest reserve and framed by ancient olive groves. From its hillside position, the resort offers far-reaching sea views and a tranquil descent toward a secluded pebble beach, accessed via a gently winding path.

Design Rooted in Heritage

Inspired by the traditional architecture of the region, Elysian Resort ascends in elegant tiers, echoing the form of a hillside village. Its courtyards and terraces provide a sense of intimacy and openness, blending Ottoman and Mediterranean influences with thoughtful restraint. Local stone, soft natural palettes, and hand-crafted details mirror the textures and tones of the landscape, allowing the property to settle seamlessly into its surroundings.

Private Pavilions with Pools and Gardens

Constructed from pale stone and timber and sheltered beneath terracotta-tiled roofs, Elysian Resort’s 35 freestanding Pavilions follow a shared architectural language—elegant, timeless, and serene. Each Pavilion sits within a private walled garden planted with olive trees and climbing jasmine, where pergolas shade marble plunge pools measuring between 32 and 36 square metres. Some pools are heated for cooler seasons, and every Pavilion offers generous outdoor lounging with daybeds, wooden chaise longues, and umbrellas.

Inside, cool white walls and polished marble floors are paired with Ottoman-inspired details: exposed dark wood beams, traditional mangal fireplaces, and kilim rugs handwoven in Istanbul. All Pavilions feature a kingsize four-poster bed, a sofa and writing desk, a dining area, and a bathroom with twin vanities, a rain shower, and a freestanding bathtub that looks out over the garden.

Seasonal Dining with Aegean Influence

Dining at Elysian Resort reflects the rich microclimates of the region and the abundance of seasonal produce. Aegean and Turkish flavours appear across multiple settings, from the tranquil Pool Dining Pavilion and the atmospheric Wine Cellar to the rooftop BBQ Terrace and Anatolian Dining Pavilion, which offers a rotating chef’s menu rooted in Ottoman and Mediterranean traditions.

For a lighter mood, the Beach Club lies 500 metres west, tucked beside the trees on a secluded headland. Its series of terraces, pebble beach, jetty, and offshore pontoon offer a relaxed setting for seafood lunches, Turkish meze, or evening cocktails by the water.
