Scorpios, the beach club brand known for its iconic Mykonos location, has opened a new outpost in Bodrum, Turkey.
The venue, which opened in July 2024, features 12 deluxe bungalows with private pools and a dedicated wellness space, alongside its signature beach club, restaurants and music offerings curated by the brand's own record label, Scorpios Music.
The development represents what the brand describes as "re-imagining the Greek agora – a place where thought is cultivated and the soul nourished by sublime surroundings, fresh food and inspired cultural programming." Design of the property was a collaboration between Istanbul architecture practice Geomim, Berlin-based interiors firms Lambs and Lions and Studio MacBride, and designer Annabell Kutucu, maintaining the rustic aesthetic established at the original Greek location.
The Ritual Space aims to transcend traditional spa concepts, incorporating ancient practices with modern wellness approaches.
Treatments and activities include water activations, Vinyasa sessions, sound healing and psychedelic breathwork, designed to address physical and mental wellbeing.
The expansion into Bodrum positions Scorpios alongside other luxury developments in the area, including Maxx Royal, as the Turkish coastal city continues to attract high-end hospitality brands.
In 2025, Scorpios plans to expand its offering with new wellbeing, mindful and cultural programming, building on its established expertise in music programming and festival organisation through its record label, which focuses on emerging and local DJs.
