Selectum Colours Bodrum enjoys a prime spot on the seafront in Gumbet, one of the Bodrum Area’s liveliest bays. The calm, shallow waters here are tailor-made for relaxed swims and watersports, while the backdrop of hills dotted with whitewashed buildings feels quintessentially Aegean.

You’re close enough to dip into Gumbet’s party vibe when you want it, but the resort itself has enough pools, dining options and entertainment that you never *have* to leave. Bodrum town, with its castle, chic marina and bazaar-style shopping, is just a short taxi or dolmus ride away for day trips.

• Nearest shops, bars and restaurants: approx. 800m
• Gumbet resort centre: approx. 1.5km
• Bodrum town: around 3–4km (short taxi/dolmus ride)
