Mykonos beach club Scorpios is opening a second location in Bodrum, Turkey, where a team of architects and designers has created a series of stone bungalows and a wellness "temple" featuring a dramatic coffered ceiling.
Set to open in June 2024, Scorpios Bodrum is positioned on a peninsula that juts out into the Aegean Sea, 30 minutes drive north of the main town of Bodrum.
