Maxx Royal Bodrum Resort Opens, Elevating the Jet-Set Experience

The much-anticipated Maxx Royal Bodrum Resort has officially opened, adding a new level of luxury to the Bodrum peninsula.

Located on the northern shores of the Bodrum peninsula, the 11.4-hectare resort offers an elevated destination experience through thoughtfully curated art, culinary, and lifestyle partnerships.
