Bvlgari opens first luxury mansion at new Bodrum resort development
AHEN, the development company founded by Mehmet Cengiz, chairman of Cengiz Holdings, is delivering the project.
ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel designed the development, which sits on a 60-hectare peninsula between two bays along the Bodrum coastline.
Six-bedroom Bvlgari mansion opens for viewing at Bodrum Peninsula Resort
The development spans 68 hectares of terraced Mediterranean gardens. Plans include a resort and 101 Bvlgari-branded mansions positioned on the seafront and hillside. The residences range from three to six bedrooms.
Each mansion integrates into the landscape with native vegetation covering rooftops. The design minimises visual impact from the sea and preserves natural views.
The completed six-bedroom mansion spans two floors and features a staircase, double-height living area with floor-to-ceiling windows, dining space with open kitchen by Molteni&C | Dada Engineered, fitness room with Technogym equipment, and massage room.
ACPV ARCHITECTS selected furniture pieces from Maxalto, B&B Italia, and Flexform. Lighting comes from Flos, FontanaArte, Aggio, and Oluce. Altai provided carpets.
The interiors display Turkish artworks by Mübin Orhon, Ergin İnan, and Devrim Erbil. An 18th-century Anatolian Kilim and Iznik-style ceramics from Florence's Cantagalli Manufactory feature in the design.
The landscaped garden extends to a beach with a deck. A 16-metre infinity pool anchors the outdoor space, with a lounge featuring a fireplace and dining area.
Cracknell, the landscaping firm, designed the masterplan using the peninsula's native ecosystem. Their approach combines indigenous planting with walkways and water-wise solutions.
Exteriors use travertine and sandstone cladding with high-performance windows. Interiors feature Denizli travertine from a local quarry and Perla Rocca quartzite in bathrooms. Fittings come from Axor, Antonio Lupi, Kaldewei, Geberit, and Duravit.
Construction teams reintegrated excavated stone into the surrounding landscape to enhance biodiversity.
ZKLD, a Turkish lighting design studio, created the illumination system using warm tones that highlight materials without disrupting the environment.
The 101 mansions range from 850 to 2,800 square metres across terraced terrain with sea views.
Mansion residents will access amenities at the upcoming Bvlgari Resort Bodrum, including Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, Hōseki Japanese restaurant, a Mediterranean seafood restaurant, La Spiaggia beachfront dining, and the Bvlgari Bar. The resort will feature a private pier for boat access.
A 2,200 square metre spa will offer hyperbaric therapy, zero-body dry flotation, and a Himalayan salt sauna.
Additional facilities include two beach clubs, a sea-view amphitheater for events, and property management services.

Turkey starts first shipments of natural gas from Azerbaijan to Syria
Turkey has started the first shipments of natural gas from Azerbaijan to Syria through the Turkish province of Kilis on Saturday, as Damascus seeks to rebuild war-battered infrastructure and boost power supply. The initiative will help bolster Syria's energy security, Syrian Energy Minister Mohammad Al Bashir told Syria's state news agency Sana. The ceremony to mark the start of the gas flow on Saturday was also attended by Azerbaijan's Economy Minister Mikayil Jabbarov, Turkey's Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar and official representatives from Qatar. "The inauguration of the regional gas transmission line linking Syria to Azerbaijan, passing through Turkish territory, is a strategic step on the path to enhancing energy security in Syria, and contributes directly to improving the electrical supply and increasing operating hours in generating stations, which reflects positively on the economic reality and living conditions, and supports the efforts of the displaced to return to their areas," Mr Al Bashir told Sana. In the first phase of the project, Syria will begin receiving 3.4 million cubic metres of gas daily, which will enable the country to increase energy production by 750 megawatts, he added. Ankara, which supported rebel forces in neighbouring Syria throughout the 13-year civil war that ended in December with the ousting of former president Bashar Al Assad, has now become one of the current Syrian government's main foreign allies while positioning itself as a major player in Syria's reconstruction. Syria is suffering from severe power shortages, with state-supplied electricity available for only for a few hours a day in most areas. Damascus used to receive the bulk of its oil for power generation from Iran before Hayat Tahrir Al Sham took power in December. Gas that will come from Azerbaijan will be exported to Aleppo via Kilis. Qatar will finance part of the project. Mr Bayraktar told the state-owned Anadolu news agency on Saturday that up to 2 billion cubic meters of natural gas can be exported annually to Syria, generating electricity to power five million households. Electricity exports to Syria currently flow through eight different points, with capacity set to increase by 25 per cent initially and then more than double, the Turkish energy minister said. Addressing the event, Mr Jabbarov said that the export of Azerbaijani gas from Turkey to Syria was launched in a short period of time based on the agreements reached during the meetings between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Syrian Transitional President Ahmed Al-Sharaa on April 11 in Antalya and July 12 in Baku, the Azerbaijan state news agency Azertac reported on Saturday.
