Horizon Sky Coconut Grove 7 Block 4, Gulluk, Bodrum, Turkey

Breath-taking panoramic views in this luxury two bedroom penthouse paradise location in Horizon Sky, Gulluk, Turkey

In our opinion we have one of the most amazing panoramic views of the new Marina & islands to the bay of Gulluk. These breathtaking views can be seen from every room in the penthouse.

Imagine sitting in your own private jacuzzi on your own private terrace with an ice cold drink, looking out to the Blue Aegean Sea....or even watching the sunrise from your own bedroom.

Designed by the internationally renowned architect Eren Talu, the Horizon Sky Resort exudes stylish modern design that delivers a luxury lifestyle experience. Fully air-conditioned penthouse suite, which is set on a hillside surrounded by olive groves and stunning views of the Blue Aegean, Horizon Sky provides a perfect setting to enjoy a relaxing break. Landscaped gardens with exotic planting, water features provide a Turkish holiday resort which is superbly built to high European standards.

THE RESORT
The resort offers a number of facilities designed to cater for your every need. Find your perfect spot to sunbathe or cool down with a dip into one of eight swimming pools dotted around the resort. Keep the kids entertained with table tennis, pool table, table football, kids pools and a childrens play area for the little ones. Visit the local beaches or venture further afield, there is always something to do a short distance from Horizon Sky for all age ranges. There is a free taxi boat 4 days per week, with 4 crossings each day to Gulluk harbour. This is where you will find a line of waterside restaurants offering fresh locally caught fish and serving both Turkish and international cuisines to cater for all tastes. Here, you will have access to ATMs, banks, supermarkets, bakeries and other shops and business

Like other villages and towns, Gulluk has a market day and this is held on a Thursday.

Fresh fruit, vegetables, dried fruit, nuts, spices, clothes, hardware can be found in abundance. Well worth a visit.

When you arrive at Bodrum Airport there are 3 ways of getting to the Horizon Sky Beach resort, depending on when your flight arrives and preference.

BY BOAT
We feel the most romantic, convenient, and the nicest way to arrive at Horizon Sky is by using the free taxi boat. As you come out of Bodrum Airport there will be licensed yellow taxi drivers waiting to take you to the town of Gulluk, ask the driver to drop you outside The Broken Barrel Bar. This should take around 15mins and cost 200TL If the boat is there to you can leave your luggage on board until it’s due to depart and your holiday starts now! When you arrive at Horizon Sky, it’s as if you have arrived at a secluded island...

The boat takes approx 40 minutes, you will disembark at the marina and walk a few yards to where the resort mini-bus or car will pick you up and take you up the hill to the entrance to the resort. If you have lots of baggage ask for help from the crew. At the entrance to the resort you will be asked to check-in at the security building. You will be given a set of keys and taken up to the apartment. There are a small flight of steps to the apartment so again ask for help if you need it with your bags.

BY TAXI
It’s a 50 mins ride from Bodrum Airport, with the licensed yellow taxi drivers waiting to take you to your destination.

HIRE A CAR
I can supply you details of where to hire a car either at the airport or in Gulluk.

FOOD SHOPPING
There is a mini-mart on-site and Sinan’s shop just outside of the development - turn left towards the sea as you exit and it is on the right hand side of the road. He sells every day basics and will deliver to the apartment if you order a significant amount. If you have a car, there are three medium sized supermarkets in the next village where Jasmine Beach is located. It’s a short 5 minute drive away.

The biggest supermarkets are in Gulluk. If you take the boat you can stock up and bring your shopping back with you. If the boat is there, you can leave your bags while you go off and do other things. If you have a lot of shopping ask one of the drivers to bring you to the foot of our stairs by car to save on your legs.

RESTAURANTS
There is a restaurant and bar on site which is great. We also have Kircin Marina beach bar and café down at the waterfront at the Marina (near to where you catch the boat). They run a shuttle service from Horizon Sky. Actually walking down is easy as it’s downhill all the way, coming back is the issue!

The best restaurants are in Gulluk. One of our favourite restaurants is The Brothers which is situated down the alley by the side of Maydays bar. We would also recommend Kucuk Ev and for every day food we like Berkhan Restaurant opposite where the boat moors. Also, Sade and Polat Global (turn left from the boat) are good.

A short taxi ride from Gulluk is the Med Inn and t is well worth the ride. They have a small beach and jetty out into the sea with sun loungers, great cocktails and a lovely menu. The sunset from here is exquisite and not too costly either.

There is a lovely restaurant called Ceyar Restaurant in Iassos. A taxi to Iassos costs around 170TL and takes about 15 minutes. You can also explore the Iassos ancient city ruins which are a historical landmark.

If you have a car then Guvercinlik is worth a visit. It is on the way to Bodrum on the right hand side of the road. Lots of great fish restaurants but personally, we like Bonjour.

LOCAL BEACHES
Tepekoy Beach about a 5-10m walk away
Jasmine Beach is 3km away. A restaurant owner Humerya will come and pick you up from Horizon Sky. Of course, they do expect you to buy a meal while you are there but this is great value for money, you can eat on the pontoon on the sea. You can also go in the evening for dinner on the beach and watch the sunset.

SPA
The nearest spa is in Gulluk - Gulluk Yali Boutique and Otel

GYM
There is a gym in Gulluk, which is very reasonably priced.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT
There is a bus station in Gulluk where you can catch the dolmus bus to Bodrum or to Milas. This is the easiest and cheapest way to get to Bodrum which is well worth a visit. It takes 40 minutes from Gulluk to get there. The shops are great and there are fabulous restaurants along the water’s edge.

Milas with its weekly food market is worth a visit. The locals say that you can get anything in Milas that you can get in Bodrum for half the price!

Once in Bodrum you can even take a day trip to Kos or Rhodes!!

I do have a more comprehensive information pack regarding the Horizon Sky Penthouse and the surrounding area which includes bus and boat timetables plus the numbers for various people/services whilst at the resort. If you would like me to email this to you, then please don't hesitate to ask.

I'm also happy to answer any questions you may have

Thanks

HOUSE RULES

To keep our home beautiful for all our guests we’d appreciate it if you would adhere to the following house rules.
PLEASE:
• As the air-conditioning is very expensive and as we do not charge separately for this, we would really appreciate it if you bear the following in mind:
• Do not leave the air conditioning on when you are out as it only takes a few minutes to cool the apartment on your return.
• Do not leave the air-conditioning on all night long. We find if we switch it on for half an hour before bed-time it does the trick
• ou will find that if you leave all the blinds down when you are out or even when you are in it will keep the apartment cool
• Use the mats and coasters provided and do not put hot things directly onto any of the wooden furniture including the table and coffee table or the surfaces will damage. This includes hot saucepans on the granite surfaces as they have been marked by hot pans in the past.
• Mop any spills immediately from the hob as this is the easiest way to keep it clean. Do not use anything abrasive to clean it. Washing up liquid and a wet cloth works best
• Keep wine glasses off of the sofa arms and cushions – we keep the throws on to protect the furniture
• No smoking anywhere inside the penthouse
• Please make sure that the toilets cisterns always stop re-filling after use as the fittings sometimes get stuck in the ‘on’ position. If you hear the water running continuously just push the lever above the cistern and it will stop the water running
• The shower above the bath only needs to be turned on slightly to get full pressure effect. If you turn the taps on too much the water will spray all over the ceiling and flood the main bedroom.
• Use the glass wipers provided after showering
• Any candles to be lit on the terrace only and make sure they are blown out when you go to bed
• Leave the safe open – we had problems last year when we had to chase down a family after their visit for their passcode!
• Leave all dirty towels and bed linen by the front door as you leave so they can be easily identified by the cleaners and leave the penthouse clean and tidy
• Leave all the blinds down when you leave to go home and make sure the air-conditioning and lights are all off
• Feel free to use any of the toilet rolls, cleaning materials, washing powder, toiletries etc. We only ask that if anything runs out during your stay please replace before you leave for our next guests
