Map & location
Gumbet, Bodrum Area, Turkey
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.
- • Beach beachfront (direct access from hotel grounds)
- • Nearest shops, bars and restaurants 800m
- • Gumbet resort centre 1.5km
- • Bodrum town around 3–4km (short taxi/dolmus ride)
- Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour from Bodrum (BJV)
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
With six pools in total plus the sea on your doorstep, there’s always somewhere to cool off:
- Main outdoor pools – multiple freshwater pools with wide sun terraces, loungers and parasols.
- Waterslide pool – a separate outdoor pool with slides, set close to the beach, for splashy fun.
- Children’s pools – two dedicated outdoor kids’ pools, plus shallow sections in one of the main pools, with baby-changing facilities and space for inflatables and water toys.
- Adults-only outdoor pool – a quieter freshwater pool with its own sunbathing area (seasonal opening, age restrictions apply).
- Indoor pools – one heated indoor pool and a separate heated indoor children’s pool in the spa area in cooler months (selected dates).
Beach towels are provided free of charge and can be swapped when needed. Facilities and seasonal heating schedules can vary by pool and by time of year.
Step through the gardens and you’re straight onto the beachfront, with calm, usually gently shelving water that’s ideal for paddling, swimming or trying out local watersports arranged independently along the bay.
