We often ask captains and crew what aspects of their superyacht itinerary in Türkiye the guests enjoyed most, and the answer is rarely the main ports and marinas (impressive as they may be).

One chief stewardess may say it was the morning they took out the water toys in a private bay, then went to a hidden beach club along the coast. Another might say the sunset drinks and dinner at a place only reached by tender or the wellness hideaway tucked in a forest by the shore. Then a captain might mention the night they spent in a starlit bay, visiting an iconic hotel with a Michelin-star restaurant.

It’s this diversity and these moments that make cruising the Turkish Riviera so special.

For more than 10 years, 360° Yachting has helped captains create superyacht itineraries in Türkiye that balance first-class marinas and destinations with quieter experiences that escape the mainstream listings. We often hear it said that they might never have discovered these hidden gems without the help of knowledgeable local yacht support.

Whatever country you’re in, some of the best waterfront restaurants, boutique retreats, and hidden beach clubs are not designed to attract the mainstream crowds; they are places that appeal to a privileged few, where arriving by yacht or tender is simply the best way to arrive.

Bedri Rahmi Bay & Miori by the Sea (Göcek)

Where natural beauty meets new-concept waterfront dining.

For decades, Bedri Rahmi Bay has been one of the most popular anchorages around Göcek, combining clear, sheltered waters, pine-covered hills, and a fascinating place in Turkish Blue Cruise history.

The bay is named after the celebrated Turkish artist and poet Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, who painted a famous fish motif onto the rock face near the shore during a Blue Cruise in 1974. Although the bay remains popular with passing yachts, it still offers peaceful mornings, excellent swimming and a relaxed atmosphere, particularly outside the busiest part of the day.

The real highlight for guests, however, now lies ashore.

Set among the trees along the waterfront, Miori by the Sea has introduced a completely new style of coastal dining to Türkiye. Rather than offering a single restaurant in a beautiful bay, Miori brings together six unique culinary experiences at a single sea-facing destination, including Türkiye’s first Riva Lounge.

Large yachts can anchor out so guests arrive by tender and step directly onto the private jetty before choosing between a series of distinct dining spaces. Miori by the Sea restaurant focuses on Aegean flavours and generous shared plates, while OKO is a modern sushi bar with chef-made nigiri, tartare, tempura and signature rolls. The wider concept also includes Italian dining at Isabel’s, phenomenal cocktails at Riva LouGöceköcek, casual coastal bites by day, a speakeasy feel by night at The Kitchen, and artisan baking through The Bakery.

For superyacht guests, the appeal is clear. They can swim in one of Göcek’s most iconic bays, tender ashore for eats and sunset cocktails, or settle in for a full day or evening of dining and relaxation. CONTACT US for reservations.

Günlüklü Bay & Ahãma (Fethiye / Göcek)

A shoreside wellness retreat hidden among an ancient sweetgum forest.

Just a short cruise from Göcek, Günlüklü Bay offers a peaceful anchorage within easy reach of Göcek’s marinas and its islands.

The bay is surrounded by a 20-hectare protected oriental sweetgum forest (Liquidambar orientalis)—one of the rarest ecosystems in the eastern Mediterranean. This setting creates a wonderfully calm atmosphere that immediately encourages guests to unwind and slow down.

Just to the rear of the shoreline lies Ahãma, one of Türkiye’s newest high-end spiritual and wellbeing retreats and a member of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux collection.

Recently described by Condé Nast Traveller as “a high-end back-to-nature retreat tucked into a forested bay just outsGöceköcek,” Ahãma blends understated architecture with exceptional hospitality, holistic wellness and dining.

Here, guests can enjoy yoga, Tai Chi, somatic movement, breathwork, and sound-body practices. Alternatively, they can relax on the private beach or take lunch or dinner at one of several restaurants, including Mezkla, a casual beachfront restaurant serving Mexican and Mediterranean flavours, Ege, Ahãma’s signature Greek and seafood restaurant, Ay, for fire-led dining, or UMI, where Japanese cuisine meets outstanding local ingredients. If you would like to pay a visit, please LET US KNOW.

Turunç Pınarı Bay & Yazz Collective (Fethiye / Göcek)

One of Türkiye’s most sought-after bayside escapes.

Accessible only by sea, Turunç Bay has become one of the Turkish Riviera’s favourite stops on Türkiye yacht itineraries.

Protected by pine-covered hillsides, the bay provides calm water, reliable shelter and relaxation for guests.

At the heart of the bay is Yazz Collective, which has earned an international reputation as one of the Turkish coast’s most stylish waterfront destinations.

Yazz Collective combines a private beach, accommodation, outstanding Mediterranean cuisine, wellness experiences, and beautifully designed spaces for relaxation – it offers the sort of laid-back sophistication that perfectly complements owners and guests.

Rather than spending the day at a marina, guests at Yazz Collective can enjoy lunch, a massage or treatment, great food, and cocktails before returning to the yacht.

Yazz Collective can accommodate yachts up to 40 meters, but for those longer than this, anchoring out with a mooring buoy is required.

Midweek reservations are often quieter, giving guests a better chance to enjoy the beach and the restaurant at a leisurely pace. They also hold special events on occasion, so please GET IN TOUCH with us to add a stop on your yachting itinerary in Türkiye or to learn more.

Maxx Royal Bodrum, (Türkbükü / Bodrum)

Contemporary luxury & great dining on the Bodrum Peninsula

Many superyacht guests visiting Bodrum like to spend time ashore, and a visit to Maxx Royal Bodrum has proved one of the most popular stops on the itinerary. Set on its own private peninsula overlooking the sparkling waters of Göltürkbükü, the resort has quickly established itself as one of the Mediterranean’s most desirable luxury destinations, often praised in the luxury travel press.

Each season, Maxx Royal Bodrum ups its offerings, and 2026 was no exception, with the arrival of Leña Bodrum, the celebrated charcoal-fire restaurant created by Michelin-starred chef Dani García. This exceptional Spanish fusion restaurant joins other iconic names, including Spago by Wolfgang Puck and Caviar Kaspia. The addition again boosts Maxx Royal’s reputation as one of the finest culinary destinations on the Turkish Riviera.

D Maris Bay (Datça)

A destination within a destination.

Occupying a spectacular position where the Aegean and Mediterranean meet, D Maris Bay is much more than simply a yacht stop or a luxury resort. For many guests, it has become a seasonal highlight and a destination in its own right.

Hidden within a stunning bay on the dramatic Datça Peninsula, the resort is surrounded by fragrant pine forests, crystal-clear turquoise waters and natural beaches, each offering a different atmosphere, from peaceful relaxation to lively beach clubs. The setting alone is breathtaking, which explains why Forbes Travel Guide and the MICHELIN Guide have all recognised D Maris Bay as one of Türkiye’s leading elite escapes.

Guests arriving by tender can easily spend an entire day ashore. Beyond its elegant accommodation, the resort offers a luxurious spa, wellness programmes, yoga, tennis courts, and fitness facilities, making it equally appealing to those seeking relaxation as to more active guests.

The culinary offering is equally exceptional. Few resorts in the Mediterranean can rival the choice available here, with internationally acclaimed restaurants including Zuma, La Guérite, Nusr-Et, the Greek-inspired Manos, contemporary Turkish cuisine at D Maris Kitchen, and  Aurora Capri, which has brought more than 130 years of Italian culinary heritage from the island of Capri to Türkiye for the very first time. Whether guests are looking for a leisurely beachfront lunch, contemporary Japanese cuisine, or sunset cocktails with first-class dining, D Maris Bay offers an experience to suit every occasion.

Adding to its appeal, D Maris Bay hosts an exciting calendar of seasonal events throughout the summer, from guest chef collaborations and live music to wellness weekends and exclusive beach parties, making every visit a little different from the last. It’s easy to understand why so many owners, guests and crew include it on their Bodrum yacht itinerary.

D Maris Bay offers more than an average resort stop, so we recommend allowing at least a few hours ashore to visit the beaches, restaurants and wellness facilities. Our team can arrange the necessary reservations and spa bookings and coordinate your arrival. CONTACT US.

Maçakızı (Türkbükü / Bodrum)

The iconic superyacht destination on the Bodrum Peninsula

Few destinations are as closely associated with the Turkish superyacht lifestyle as Maçakızı. For more than four decades, this elegant waterfront retreat has welcomed owners, charter guests and captains, earning its reputation as one of the most sought-after stops on a Bodrum luxury yachting itinerary.

Set in beautiful Türkbükü, Maçakızı has become renowned for its understated elegance, exceptional service and relaxed atmosphere. Guests arriving by tender are welcomed at the hotel’s private jetty before stepping onto its stylish waterfront terraces, where crystal-clear waters, comfortable daybeds, a sophisticated beach club and attentive hospitality await.

The culinary experience is equally impressive. Awarded a MICHELIN Star and led by Executive Chef Aret Sahakyan, Maçakızı Restaurant has become a gastronomy destination in its own right. Seasonal Turkish ingredients, freshly landed seafood and produce from carefully selected local suppliers are transformed into Mediterranean dishes that celebrate the flavours of the Aegean with creativity and precision. Whether enjoying a long waterfront lunch, freshly shucked oysters with champagne or an elegant dinner beneath the stars, dining at Maçakızı is an experience many guests now consider an essential part of cruising the Turkish coast.

Beyond the restaurant, guests can unwind on the hotel’s private beach platform, enjoy handcrafted cocktails overlooking the bay or simply soak up the relaxed atmosphere that has made Maçakızı a favourite among the international yachting community for generations. Featured by Forbes, Condé Nast Traveller, Tatler, British Vogue and many other fine publications as one of Bodrum’s finest luxury escapes, it continues to define the effortless glamour of the Turkish Riviera.
