Bodrum, Turkey is the next hot Mediterranean destination

As far as better-known gulfs go, Gokova is probably not in the top 10. But it should be – the gorgeous port city of Bodrum sits at its entrance and is also the backdrop for the magnificent Bodrum Loft Hotel
.
It’s a mosaic of pale-rock bungalows shaded by pines and tumbling to a tourmaline bay of the Aegean Sea, with timbered sundecks extending into the shallows.

There are 36 villas, and whatever “lavishly serviced” means, we’re down for it.There are three restaurants to choose from – the high-end Italian Paper Moon, an on-site patisserie and Loftella, which is all about local ingredients.
