A bay on the Aegean coast
A boutique hotel of 22 rooms with its own beach and jetty. Choose the right room with our assistant at the bottom right.
Defne Koy began with the restoration of stone houses where olive workers once stayed. Thick walls keep the summer heat out, the rooms are scattered through the olive grove, and in the morning the water in the bay is like glass. Here the day passes slowly between breakfast and sunset.
Five room types, each made for a different kind of stay.
Quiet and shaded, opening onto the olive grove.
Morning coffee on the stone veranda by your door, in the shade of the olive trees. The Garden Room is on the ground floor with step-free access; it has no sea view, but the beach is a two-minute walk away.
The whole bay from your balcony.
From your first-floor balcony you see the whole bay, the jetty and, in the evening, the lights on the far hillside. The stone walls keep the room cool, and the sea is right across from the wide bed.
Your own stone house in the garden, with a separate room for the children.
One of the old stone houses set in the garden, with two rooms joined by a door and a small fenced garden in front. You can sit outside while the children sleep, and the beach is a three-minute walk, even with little ones.
The room closest to the sea: a private terrace and an outdoor tub.
The Bay Suite sits just behind the beach and the jetty and opens onto a private terrace enclosed by a stone wall. Bathe in the stone tub on the terrace to the sound of the waves, screened from view by the wall. It sits at water level, with the sea a few steps away.
A wide top-floor terrace and sunsets over the bay.
On the top floor of the main stone house, with a 30 m² terrace above the bay. In the evening you watch the sun set behind the far headland from the loungers and have dinner at the terrace table. There is no lift; a stone staircase leads up.
Tell us what kind of stay you have in mind, and our assistant will suggest a room and explain why.
A beach, a jetty, a small spa and the neighbouring coves.
The bay's own small sand-and-pebble beach and wooden jetty are for guests only; loungers and towels are free.
A stone-vaulted hammam and two massage rooms. The hammam is free for guests; massages by appointment.
Half a day on a wooden boat to neighbouring coves you can only reach from the sea.
A private car from Bodrum (75 min) or Dalaman (2 hours) to the door.
Aegean cooking, from the garden to the table.
Breakfast is an Aegean spread served on the terrace and is included in the room price. In the evening the restaurant serves à la carte Aegean cooking; it is open to non-residents too, so booking a table is a good idea in summer.
Tomatoes and herbs from the garden, village cheese, olive oil and warm gözleme; on the terrace from 08:00 to 10:30.
A table for two at the end of the jetty, the catch of the day and lantern light.
Images are illustrative.
A private transfer from Bodrum or Dalaman airport to the door.
As this is a fictional demo, the address, phone number and email do not work. If you chat with the assistant and fill in the form, your details are saved to the demo account.
Of course. Children are 12 and under; guests over 12 count as adults. Babies aged 0–2 stay free and do not count towards room capacity; a baby cot is free, just mention it in your request. The room price covers all guests within capacity and breakfast. We suggest the Stone House Family Room for families with two children and the Sea View Deluxe for one child.
We're sorry, pets are not allowed.
Tell our assistant your dates and the number of guests and it will create a reservation request. Our team checks availability and gets back to you. Our reservations team answers requests every day between 09:00 and 21:00, usually within a few hours and at the latest the next day.
Prices are per room per night with breakfast included. The beach, loungers, hammam, Wi-Fi and parking are free; dinner, massages, transfers and boat trips are charged separately.
The nearest airports are Bodrum (about 75 minutes by car) and Dalaman (about 2 hours). We can arrange a private transfer from either; there is free parking if you drive.
We don't have a pool; the bay's own beach and jetty are right in front of the hotel. The sea is good for swimming from late May to October.
The hotel is open from early April to the end of October and closed from November to March.
