Villa Azur

About Villa Azur

From May to October the Tilkicik Koyu shoreline in Yalıkavak works on a summer schedule, and this is where much of Bodrum's yacht season comes ashore. Days run on daybeds and table service, with Turkish and Mediterranean plates carrying through from lunch into the evening as house sets and Arabic tracks build across the afternoon. Friday through Sunday are the loudest, drawing a mix of socialites, visiting celebrities and Middle Eastern and Western European regulars, most of them in the 25-45 range. Beach chic is the standard — polished, but still a swimsuit-adjacent room — and the $$$$ band, bottle service and lobster-and-truffle end of the menu mean a full afternoon here adds up quickly. Book ahead for weekends, and expect the place to hold a 4.5 across more than a thousand reviews for good reason.
