Shangri-La Group has announced the signing of a luxury resort in Bodrum, Turkey, further strengthening its presence in the European and Mediterranean leisure markets. The group has entered into an agreement with United Bodrum Turizm AS to manage the property, marking Shangri-La’s second hotel in Turkey.

The signing ceremony took place at Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong, and was attended by senior leadership from both organisations. The new resort will be located in Yalıkavak, an exclusive enclave on the northwest end of the Bodrum Peninsula, close to the internationally renowned Yalıkavak Marina.

Shangri-La Bodrum will feature 70 guest rooms and 10 private villas, along with a private beach and panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. Designed to blend Shangri-La’s timeless Asian hospitality with contemporary elegance, the resort will be complemented by Bodrum’s natural beauty, cosmopolitan culture, and relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle.

Commenting on the development, Chee Wui Chua, Executive Director and Chief Finance Officer of Shangri-La Group, said, “Bodrum’s spectacular natural setting, international appeal, and rising recognition as a global luxury hub make it an exceptional addition to our portfolio. We are delighted to bring Shangri-La’s timeless hospitality and contemporary sophistication to this remarkable corner of the world.”

Gungor Cepni, Chairman of United Bodrum Turizm AS, added, “We are proud to collaborate with Shangri-La Group on a project that will redefine luxury hospitality in Bodrum. This resort will set a new benchmark for refined living and elevate Bodrum’s global standing as a destination of distinction.”

Building on the success of Shangri-La Bosphorus, Istanbul, the new Bodrum resort reflects the group’s vision to expand its luxury portfolio across Europe and the Middle East, offering elevated design, bespoke experiences, and world-class service in one of the Mediterranean’s most sought-after destinations.
