Bodrum, Turkey
Set along the sun-drenched Bodrum Peninsula, Resort & Mansions Bodrum reimagines contemporary luxury through a dialogue between natural beauty and sustainable design. This exceptional destination captures the region’s coastal charm, offering a seamless connection to the rugged elegance of the Aegean landscape.
Embracing the site’s natural contours, the landscape design creates a grand yet understated arrival experience, where uninterrupted sea views unfold through carefully framed vistas and discreet planting. Native Mediterranean species – including olive trees, lavender, and rosemary – enrich the sense of place while ensuring a low-water, resilient landscape.
Private terraces are enveloped by lush vegetation and natural windbreaks, providing privacy, comfort, and moments of tranquillity. Fragrant planting such as citrus and jasmine adds a sensory richness that evolves with the seasons, enhancing the guest experience.
Pathways lined with native grasses meander between villas and communal spaces, uniting the resort through texture and movement. A dry garden aesthetic, anchored by sculptural trees and flowering shrubs, introduces vibrant focal points that complement the natural stone architecture and coastal backdrop.
RSL was commissioned to develop the concept design and carry the project through to Stage 3, providing detailed landscape packages and soft landscape proposals. The result is a design that harmonises elegance with ecological responsibility — authentic to Bodrum’s identity while setting a new benchmark for sustainable luxury living.
