Turkbuku and Golturkbuku on the north shore hold the sea-deck social scene; Yalikavak, at the western tip, pairs its superyacht marina with terraced hillside hotels; the quieter bays around Demirbuku and Gundogan give more seclusion; Bodrum town itself, with the Castle of St Peter and the bazaar, is busier and less residential.
The season runs from May to October, with August the most crowded month and the meltemi wind at its strongest; June and September are warm and calmer, and much of the peninsula's hotel stock closes entirely from November to April.

Each hotel is scored on a fixed formula built only from award facts, then shown on a scale of 5.00 to 10.00. MICHELIN Keys carry the most weight, a Forbes Travel Guide Five Star rating adds a flat six points, placements in The World's 50 Best Hotels for 2023, 2024 and 2025 are weighted equally, and a La Liste rating moves the total slightly. Nothing a hotel supplies about itself enters the score, and the full formula is published on the methodology page so any figure in the table can be reproduced from the awards beside it.
