Why couples choose it
Private coves and a wellness resort north of Bodrum
Six Senses Kaplankaya opened in 2016 as Canyon Ranch Kaplankaya and reopened in 2018 under Six Senses, after a redesign by Clodagh. Its low buildings sit above private sandy beaches, including Orta Bay and Anhinga Bay, on the coast of the Milas district.
The hotel offers weddings on the beach, around the infinity pool and in its restaurants, and lists Anhinga Bay for up to 1,000 guests. There is no ballroom and its indoor rooms are up to 122 m², so a wedding here is planned outdoors, with a weather plan for the dinner.
Sage & Sea, Meze by the Sea and the Ortakoy Beach Bar, the 10,000 m² spa and the Grow with Six Senses kids’ programme give your guests a holiday around the wedding. The resort is about 50 minutes by car from Milas-Bodrum Airport.

Getting ready
The couple can get ready in a suite or residence, while guests spend the day on the beaches or at the spa.
Ceremony in a cove
If Anhinga Bay or one of the beaches is available for your date, the ceremony can take place by the sea in the late afternoon, when the heat has eased.
Cocktail and portraits
While your guests enjoy a cocktail, you take portraits by the pool and along the coves in the evening light.
