This summer, METT Hotel & Beach Resort Bodrum is home to the places to see and be seen, with relaxed and refreshing nightlife and dining.
Sleek and buzzy, attiko is an al freso restaurant and lounge which brings a cosmopolitan city vibe with Pan Asian flavours, inspiring cocktails and the best DJs and parties. The attiko terrace provides stunning sunset views overlooking the blue waters of the Haremtan Cove and from Monday – Friday, guests can settle for an aperitif at the Sunset Vibes sessions where chilled beats and crafted cocktails provide the perfect backdrop, as the sky changes colour from day to night. Thursday nights come alive at Fire & Sushi, a seductive fire show where guests will be entertained by live performers while dining on delicious sushi and Pan Asian flavours. The weekends are reserved for Moonshine, every Saturday from 9pm onwards where party goers can enjoy DJs and live performances – an unforgettable way to celebrate by dancing under the stars.
For daytime glamour, either lounging on sunbeds or in a VIP cabana, dining al fresco or sipping on cool cocktails in the bar lounge, chic beach club FOLIE awaits. French for ‘madness’, it is here that elegance and fun collide, alongside innovative culinary experiences, vibrant music and exciting entertainment, meaning every visit is one to remember. This summer, party-seekers will revel in FOLIE’s eclectic weekend events, with lively cabaret performances and unique weekly parties each with a different theme such as Disco, Boat Party or Citronelle – happening every Saturday throughout July and August. To unwind, ladies can relax as the sound of the saxophone flows across the crystal ocean on Ladies Day, every Tuesday throughout summer.
