Macakizi
It’s named after the owners, a mother-and-son team — apparently the lady’s nickname is “Ace of Spades,” and we suspect it’s a good idea to stay out of any high-stakes card games while you’re on premises. Fortunately there’s no end of other diversions, from the beach club, where the beautiful people of Istanbul lounge on decks over the waters of Turkbuku bay, to the gardens, the restaurant, and the bar. This last is no typical bar — Turks take their nightlife seriously, and there’s a DJ on duty most nights.
As for the accommodations, the Maçakizi feels smaller than its eighty-odd rooms. The décor is breezy and minimalist, but never harsh — this place is meant to be all about the good life, and on that it certainly delivers. All mod cons are present, and yet there’s little in the way of flash — imagine a room in the house of a well-heeled and well-connected local friend, and you’re on your way there.
Please note: Macakizi is open seasonally from late April through late October.

Le cadre, le service, la clientèle, le ponton qui donne accès direct à la mer. Tout était parfait.
We loved the beach club. It was so chic and comfortable. We were treated like VIP.
The design of the hotel and the landscaping are exceptional. Such a beautiful hotel.
The place does everything extremely well. What surprised us was the food. Over 3 nights, we pretty much covered the entire menu which has no weaknesses. This is a Michelin 1-2 star restaurant experience.
