Honest review
Amanruya Hotel is like the rarest pearl among the world's resorts. If you know at least one of them, you will surely have noticed that a suffix is added to the resorts' names. These additions reflect the place where the future hotel is to be built. When creating the project, the architect takes into account the character of the region, so that the traditions of the country or city find their place not only in the interiors and the artisanal pieces that adorn the rooms and loggias, but in the design of the building and the hotel grounds themselves.
The architectural style recalls the buildings of an ancient Antalyan town of the Ottoman era. Only natural materials are used in the finishes — wood, stone, marble — all harmoniously woven into a minimalism touched with luxury and comfort. Every meter of this magnificent hotel shows how deeply the country's philosophy is intertwined with the look of the building. There are no conventional rooms here, only private villas artfully placed among the greenery of the trees. A great deal of effort and manual labor went into creating this refined resort — the stone-paved paths of natural material, for instance, were laid entirely by hand. But that is not the only reason you will want to walk barefoot here and feel closer to yourself and to nature.
The hotel occupies a breathtaking location. Imagine the turquoise Aegean washing a private pebble beach, while ancient pine forests cast their shade, offering coolness and a pleasant scent of conifers. The resort lies amid expanses of olive groves and cypresses on the serene northern coast of the Bodrum peninsula.
The grounds are so extensive that guests rarely cross paths. You will feel the oneness of a private island far from the noise of the metropolis that keeps you from focusing on what matters most — yourself and your inner sensations.
This hotel has everything to satisfy even the most discerning traveler. Most worthy of note is the yoga hall, unlike any other. You will be struck by its spaciousness and interior: white columns and floor-to-ceiling wooden windows that let in so much light, air and space that neither words nor photographs can convey it. It is a perfect place for meditation, where the atmosphere invites you to explore yourself and the world around you.
Amanruya is about communion with nature and with yourself, and it begins the moment you set foot on the hotel grounds. Here it is a pleasure to savor the gusts of wind, the rustle of leaves in the olive grove, the gentle sun on the beach, the warm evenings and the stunning views. You will feel the rhythm of life slow down at once. All the pomp, speed and noise remain somewhere far away. You find yourself wanting to walk slowly, barefoot, savoring every moment and stretching it out for as long as you possibly can
