Following a management agreement signed with Targets Investment, which was announced on 3rd March 2015, Jumeirah Group is proud to announce the official opening of Jumeirah Bodrum Palace.

Jumeirah Bodrum Palace offers 135 rooms made up of generous suites, villas and a six-bedroom palace, all with sea-facing views and spacious terraces, a wide selection of restaurants and bars and eight family pools in addition to 49 private pools for the villas. As well as relaxing on the Aegean coastline, guests can also take advantage of a wide range of water sports, including parasailing, windsurfing, water skiing, fishing, sailing and scuba diving. The 110,000m2 resort also has a signature Talise Spa with 12 treatment rooms and a range of luxury hammams, a fully equipped fitness centre and also a Kids Castle play-centre.

To celebrate its opening, the hotel is presenting two special offers. The first is ‘Earn an Extra Night’ which invites guests to stay four nights at Jumeirah Bodrum Palace and pay for only three, including 20% savings on all food and beverage throughout the resort. The second is a ‘Turkish Delight’ offer which combines the best of Bodrum and Istanbul by staying four nights at Jumeirah Bodrum Palace and receiving two complimentary nights at Pera Palace Hotel Jumeirah. Both offers include a complimentary buffet breakfast every morning, wi-fi and unlimited access to the spa and fitness facilities.

Speaking at a press conference at Pera Palace Hotel Jumeirah in Istanbul, Gerald Lawless, President and Group CEO of Jumeirah Group, said: “Jumeirah Bodrum Palace is a truly spectacular luxury resort. We have worked closely with the owner to ensure that the full Jumeirah experience is delivered through the hotel and I am delighted to say that the improvements to the hotel have exceeded our expectations. I am confident our loyal guests from around the world will be impressed not only with the location and design, but also with the service standards for which Jumeirah is famous. I am grateful to Vedat Dalkiran, Chairman of Targets Investment for entrusting us with such a magnificent resort to manage and to Mete Atakuman, General Manager of Jumeirah Bodrum Palace, for assembling a world-class team to delight our guests through the summer season.”
