- Resort Location
-
Tuzla Lake is formed by the deep inlet from the Gulf of Güllük and Mandalya Bay. This is perhaps one of the most stunning locations in Turkey. Home to a host of ancient ruins the lake is surrounded by hiils covered with Olive groves, Pine and Tamarisk trees. The area is particularly special as a natural bird sanctuary; throughout the year a large variety of rare birds including Pelicans, Flamingos and White Storks can be seen flocking to the wetlands. The Turquoise site itself covers two valleys and hillsides, the contours of the land allowing for spectacular views of Tuzla lake and mountains.
The main pool and restaurant area are a hub of activity with games and endless thrills in the water. When it`s time for some relaxation its merely a few steps from your sun lounger to the popular restaurant & bar to enjoy a sociable lunch with new friends. In the evenings, the rooftop terrace cafe & bar is the perfect venue to enjoy a cocktail before dinner and to marvel at the incredible scenery.
For the more adventurous the legendary nightlife of Bodrum is a short drive away and regular local bus services run day and late into the night.
Don’t forget to bring a pair of binoculars to observe wildlife on these wetlands that provide an important resting and feeding area for over 400 species of migrating wading birds as well as being a major wintering and breeding ground for large populations of seabirds, shorebirds, birds of prey, warblers, steppe birds and even woodland birds. This region also meets all the qualifications for being an ‘Important Bird Area’ (IBA) for species of birds that face extinction worldwide such as the Dalmatian Pelican, the Greater Flamingo, the Lesser Kestrel, the Spur-winged Plover, the Sandwich Tern, the Black-winged Stilt and the Avocet to name just a few.
Lakeside Garden promises the perfect blend of a peaceful retreat, birdwatchers paradise, golfers dream, and family fun combined with easy access to the celebrated shoppers' heaven and home of the party animal, Bodrum itself.
