Villa with Marina Views — Yalıkavak, Bodrum

Yalıkavak is not your typical Turkish resort. Yes, there are yachts, seafood restaurants and beaches — but there's also something harder to name. A certain rhythm. Morning winds turning the old windmills on the hillsides. The scent of coffee along the waterfront before the town stirs. This is one of those places on the Bodrum peninsula that draws people looking not for entertainment, but for quality.

Yalıkavak Marina — one of the largest international yacht marinas in the world — is simply the backdrop to daily life here, not a one-evening attraction. Boutiques, cafés, hotels — all within walking distance. And when you want more: Bodrum centre, with its castle and Museum of Underwater Archaeology, is a quarter of an hour away.

This villa sits on a plot of approximately 1,500 m² and has been designed so that every room opens onto the marina and the sea. Not one room with a view — every room. A natural stone façade, timber pergola details, generous glazing that draws light and landscape inside. The entrance stands out for its precise stonework — a detail that speaks to the thinking behind the whole project.

Four bedrooms — each with its own bathroom. A sitting room with a fireplace and natural light. A balcony accessible from every room. On the lower level: a self-contained one-bedroom flat that can be used for guests, a caretaker, or let independently. There is also a flexible space — ready to be fitted out as a hammam, sauna, gym or study, depending on what you need.

The villa is handed over at shell and core stage, which means something rare: complete freedom over how you finish and furnish it. The stone, the structure, the views — they're already there. Everything else is yours to decide. For someone looking for a home tailored to them rather than an off-the-shelf product, this is an advantage, not a compromise.
