A tranquil, idyllic retreat, perfect for a relaxing getaway in the heart of the Turkish countryside
The Golden Key in Bördübet is a true retreat, hidden away in the lush surroundings of lawns and pines and far away from the trappings of tourism, yet the rooms and suites here are some of the finest to be found on this unspoilt coastline. Spacious and elegant with comfort in mind with almost safari like views across the hotel’s river and its forest.
Walking through the grounds, one is bound to be delighted by the abundance of wildlife that the Golden Key is home to turtles, huge carp, swans, ducks and kingfishers are commonplace and this natural setting makes for a truly blissful and relaxing holiday. Bordubet originates from ‘Birds Bed’ and it’s easy to see why given the rich variety of birds in this special place.
With its own private waterfront and river, it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. During the day most guests will find themselves embarking on the ‘African Queen’ type boat which ferries them from the river out to sea and on to the private beach club with its own restaurant and sunset terrace. In the evenings supper is taken in the riverside restaurant and terrace where all the fruits and vegetables are brought from its own organic garden. And after dinner, drinks are served on the elegant terraces that encircle the bar.
For the more energetic there are water sports available, including windsurfing, paddle boarding at the beach club and if you’re new to any of these activities then there are instructors on hand to guide you through to proficiency. There’s also a tennis court and a games room with billiards and table tennis and mountain bikes to explore the surrounding countryside.
If you simply wish to unwind at the hotel then the large freshwater pool is a delightful spot to sunbathe and relax. Or try a massage in one of the hotels peaceful, private massage areas.
It’s a natural paradise and certainly far from the madding crowd, yet the comfort of its superb rooms and the delightful amenities makes this a very sought-after holiday for the more discerning guest. The relaxed and gentle atmosphere that is generated by an ever attentive management is certainly one that will make our guests want to return time and time again.
Please note that this hotel’s season finishes at end of September.
If you can tear yourself away from this stunning retreat, the surrounding unspoilt area is well worth exploring
Home to a wonderful restaurant, where much of the organic produce is grown on site, there are 4 bars, a private beach and beautiful freshwater swimming pool (1.60m deep), children are welcome, there is a small children’s playground and babysitting is available upon request.
Activities: The beach is just a walk down a forest path or a short boat ride on the river. Situated in the forest, just near the river which runs through the hotel grounds, the Bordubet offers a boat service to its private beach. The beach is on the peninsula just 5 minutes away, 10 minutes by canoe or bicycle, or about 20 minutes on foot.
At the beach there is a Snack bar, sunbeds and parasols, 2 sun terraces, shower and WC.

Exploring Turkey: NEW Multi Centre Escapes
Our guests are invited to pick any duration of stay, departure airport or even accommodation only – whatever suits your needs
Multi Centre Holidays
Our multi- centre holidays allow our guests the opportunity to make the most of our portfolio. In order to experience an authentic flavour of Turkey, we recommend combining locations either as a split centre stay, for example (7+7 nights, 3+4 nights or any duration that suits you). You can even, create your own multi-centre itinerary so you can get the most of your holiday in Turkey by sampling the wonderfully dramatic scenery and colourful culture that varies so much from region to region. We will take care of all the logistics, split centre transfers and for those who wish to self-drive, we also offer this service too.
Here we display an overview of the regions we feature and some nice ideas but any combination of properties and/or durations is feasible. It is even possible to combine with Istanbul, Cappadocia a guided Lycian Walking Tour or a themed programme tailored to your specific requirements. Call our expert team to utilise their enthusiasm and knowledge- they will be happy to arrange a specific itinerary, transport, guide and excursions.
Inspiration- Our regions and properties
Bodrum
Once a small fishing village, enigmatic Bodrum is a thriving destination offering beautiful beaches and chi-chi beach clubs, a sophisticated and authentic array of bars and restaurants together with a fascinating historical and cultural scene; including a 15th Century castle and architecturally interesting buildings.
The unassuming beauty of the Gulf of Fethiye & Göcek region is accentuated by its accessibility from the airport: just 20 minutes’ drive to Göcek harbour from Dalaman, which brings you straight into the heart of chichi coastal Turkey. It’s another 40 minutes to downtown Fethiye, a lively, working town with a gentrified seafront and one of the finest harbours on the entire coast. Both provide easy access to an archipelago of twelve islands, crystal clear waters and beneficent winds which make for wonderful sailing. Flanked by dramatic, pine-covered mountains and not a high-rise in site, their waterfront settings are exceptional. Beyond the two harbour towns an array of sandy beaches await, including some of Turkey’s best-known (Ölü Deniz) and less discovered finds such as Kabak and Kidrak.
Kalkan is a picturesque harbour town set in a vast horseshoe bay, flanked by a rocky mountainous backdrop. Villa Quintessentially pretty, it’s optimum features include cobbled narrow passageways and colourful Greek houses with low hanging bougainvillea clad balconies. The bustling café culture and artisan boutiques allow for long lingering lunches, followed by a mooch in search of artisan leather goods, fine jewellery and super stylish textiles. Kalkan has an excellent selection of serviced beach clubs which ring the bay making it easy to spend time chilling by the water’s edge. All have a laid back barefoot vibe, most with waiter service and each offering a slightly different experience. Just up the road, Patara is a favourite for all, this long stretch of golden sand will appeal to little people longing to build a sandcastle or two and the breeze makes the intense peak summer heat more endurable. Beyond the dunes sits the ancient Lycian site of Patara which was once an important trading port and the supposed birthplace of St Nicholas.
The Kas Peninsula is a wonderful setting for a holiday: the views across the blue sea to the Greek island of Meis are spectacular and the land slopes down to the rocky coastline where swimming platforms let you plunge straight into the crystal clear water.
Kas is perhaps a little like the ‘big brother’ of Kalkan. Like Kalkan, it has an attractive harbour and winding cobbled streets climbing a hillside. It has a slightly bohemian feel, attracting a range of visitors of different nationalities and ages. The town has a wonderful selection of shops and restaurants, many with charming roof terraces with views over the square and harbour front.
The Bozburun and Datça peninsula’s have a distinctly Greek feel which sets them apart from the rest of coastal Turkey. This is partly because of their proximity to the Greek Southern Dodecanese ring and the island of Symi is just five miles across the strait. Along the roadside is the waft of drying thyme, rosemary and sage as men twiddle worry beads sipping endless cups of Turkish tea. The area is known for its thyme-scented honey which is sold by the roadside.
Istanbul is a spectacular city that you will never tire of. Steeped in ancient history, today it is a café society with a minaret-lined skyline, a confluence of ancient tradition and contemporary delights. It bemuses and amuses in equal measure. The city famously straddles – both geographically and philosophically – Europe and Asia and stimulates every visitor with a melange of the exotic and familiar. Its geographical position alone – at the neck of trading routes between the Mediterranean and Africa – has afforded the city an important trading position since the Byzantine era. And the Golden Horn, nestling within the city, is one of the world’s finest natural harbours.
The Cappadocia National Park region covers over 24,000 square kilometres with a distinct and highly unusual landscape. The valley of Fairy Chimneys is the most popular area, roughly within the triangle formed by the three main towns of the region, Avanos, Urgup and Nevsehir. There’s really no adequate way of conveying the surreal moonscape- the enormity of the skies and awe-inspiring geology is something that can only be truly appreciated in person.
1: Apply the rate for the date of arrival at your first property and specific duration of stay
2: Repeat as relevant to your chosen holiday applying rates relevant to the date of arrival at the specific property in each case
3: Add the transfer costs between regions as relevant, or Car Hire if you prefer to self-drive. Shared airport transfers on arrival and departure are included.
4: We will quote the flight rate based on the current market rate and a service fee of £10 per person.
