Would you like to step away from the crowds of Bodrum without actually leaving the city? Then it's time to discover Anthaven, located in the heart of Aspat Bay. This is not just a residential project — it's a lifestyle destination with canals, white stone houses, boutique shops, art galleries, gourmet restaurants, a private beach, and even a marina. With its serene atmosphere and lively social life, Anthaven feels like a hidden gem for both locals and international travelers visiting Bodrum.

Location & How to Get There

Anthaven is located in Aspat Bay, in the Akyarlar district on the southern coast of the Bodrum Peninsula. It’s about a 30-minute drive from Bodrum town center and around 40 minutes from Yalikavak. If you're driving, simply follow the signs toward Turgutreis and then Akyarlar — it’s clearly marked. Valet service, large parking space, and EV charging stations are available on-site.

If you prefer public transportation, take the Akyarlar minibus from Bodrum Bus Terminal, get off at the Aspat junction, and take a short taxi ride to Anthaven. Coming by sea? The private marina with capacity for up to 50 boats is ready to welcome you. There’s even a helipad for guests arriving by private helicopter.

A Day Among the Canals

As you enter Anthaven, you’ll be greeted by palm-lined walkways, stone bridges, and picturesque white buildings set along tranquil canals. Just strolling around the area is an experience in itself — it feels more like a Mediterranean fishing town than Bodrum. Sculptures, street art, and well-designed landscaping make every corner Instagram-worthy.

Anthaven Bazaar: Shopping, Dining & Art

At the heart of Anthaven lies the open-air shopping street, or “Bazaar,” where brand-name stores meet local designers. You’ll find boutiques, bookstores, artisanal gift shops, and stylish fashion stores in a lively and elegant setting.

Art lovers shouldn’t miss Karabatak Gallery — a perfect spot to sip a coffee and admire contemporary artwork in a calm, creative atmosphere.

Culinary Delights: Cafes & Restaurants

Anthaven offers a rich and refined dining experience to suit every taste. Whether you're starting your morning with a peaceful coffee or ending your day with a gourmet dinner by the sea, you'll find something here for every palate.

In the early hours, enjoy a calm breakfast with fresh coffee at Starbucks, Vi Coffee, Karabatak, or Kahve Dunyasi. For a sweet break, Magnolia Shop and Magnolia Bakery offer visually stunning and delicious treats.

Around lunchtime, gourmet options come into play. BigChefs serves a diverse international menu, Antre Pizza is known for its wood-fired Italian flavors, Minister Pub offers satisfying casual meals, and Sake-Wa delights sushi lovers with Japanese fusion dishes.

In the evening, seafood lovers will enjoy a fresh catch at Hadi Balik, while Buselik Meyhanesi is the go-to spot for traditional Aegean mezes and raki in a lively setting. If you're in the mood for a relaxed evening with friends, Minister Pub also offers a cozy atmosphere after dark.

Anthaven’s food scene goes beyond restaurants. With options like Gurme, you can grab essentials or gourmet ingredients on the go. And for those looking to discover something new, the surrounding boutiques and specialty stores make for an enjoyable culinary stroll.

At Anthaven, dining is not just about eating — it’s part of the lifestyle, offering moments to savor throughout the day.

Beach & Water Activities

Anthaven offers direct access to Aspat Bay’s private beach, one of Bodrum’s cleanest and calmest coastal spots. With its Blue Flag certification, soft white sand, and clear turquoise waters, it's perfect for swimming or just relaxing under the sun. Watching the sunset over Kos Island from the shore is a truly unforgettable moment.

For thrill-seekers, there’s a watersports school offering windsurfing and kitesurfing lessons. Prefer a calmer experience? Rent a boat or join a private yacht tour right from the marina.

Events & Seasonal Highlights

While Anthaven remains tranquil year-round, it truly comes alive in the summer. It hosts concerts, gastronomy festivals, and art exhibitions, adding a rich cultural layer to your holiday. For example, the Kerem Gorsev Trio performed here last summer during the Bodrum Jazz Festival.

For those who want a blend of seaside calm and urban energy during their vacation, Anthaven is the perfect choice.
