Map & location
Turgutreis, Bodrum Area, Turkey
Yasmin Resort is set in the peaceful Kadıkalesi area, just outside Turgutreis on the Bodrum peninsula. Here you get the best of both worlds: a private beach and wide-open sea views from the hotel, plus easy access to Turgutreis’ golden sands, boutiques and waterfront cafés. The sunsets in this corner of the Aegean are some of the best on the coast, with silhouettes of nearby Greek islands on the horizon.
Turgutreis itself is the second-largest town on the peninsula, known for its long promenade, Saturday market and handy dolmuş links to Bodrum Town if you fancy a day of harbour-side shopping and castle-hopping.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Water babies are spoilt for choice. There are two outdoor freshwater pools – including one with a children’s section – set in broad sun terraces with loungers and parasols. A separate aquapark with slides keeps older kids and teens entertained for hours (open seasonally, usually May–Oct, and subject to age/height restrictions).
For cooler days or a relaxed swim away from the heat, there’s an indoor freshwater pool with a children’s section.
Down at the shoreline, a private beach runs along the front of the resort, with wooden jetties, plenty of sunbeds and easy access into the Aegean. Watersports such as canoes, pedalos, windsurfing, inflatables and scuba diving are available for a charge and are typically run by an external provider.
Spa, sports & wellness
Active types will appreciate the air-conditioned gym equipped with cardio and strength machines, plus a daily programme of aerobics, aqua aerobics, darts, short tennis, table tennis and tennis (some activities may carry a charge).
The spa is a calm retreat offering a Turkish bath, sauna and steam room, along with a menu of massage and beauty treatments (extra charge, 18+). There’s also an on-site hairdresser for holiday cuts and blow-dries.
