There’s a creative person with a sense of humour atClub Gümüşlük! I asked their webmaster for a bigger copy of this map – but I think they must be too busy partying to respond!

We paid a couple of visits to Club Gümüşlük recently. It’s a hotel, bar and restaurant which overlooks Gümüşlük Bayand Rabbit Island. The outside restaurant and bar are nestled amid trees, and have a mixture of armchairs, tables and chairs, and platform area’s for lounging on scatter cushions.

Evening visit to Club Gümüşlük

In the past, we’ve usually headed to Yalikavak for evening’s festivities, but I really like the vibe in Gümüşlük. So talked Red into an evening jaunt to Gümüşlük.

I wasn’t sure which restaurant/bar we’d end up at, because I’d only visited the harbour side of Gümüşlük at night, but this time we ventured round the corner to the bay side.

The first location we walked past was Club Gümüşlük, and we didn’t get any further. I’ve heard that in peak season, this destination is packed, but on the evening we dropped in – it wasn’t that busy, and we couldn’t resist the chilled vibe.

We took a seat on bar-stools at the outside bar, which has a nice view of the bay and is shrouded with an array of trees. The waves lapped against the beach, and were a gentle accompaniment to the tunes being spun by the resident DJ, who was at the back of the open-air lounge mixing on his laptop.

The bar staff were friendly, and we whiled away a couple of hours drinking and chatting.

I’m sure we wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much if it was packed, and music pumping – but I felt like we’d discovered a jewel of a location, which left us with a desire to return.

Daytime visit to Club Gümüşlük

A couple of days later we needed a location for a sunbathe and swim. Although Gümüşlük Bay isn’t a patch on Türkbükü Bay – it’s convenient for a quick couple of hours of beach time, and we plotted on the loungers in front of Club Gümüşlük. As usual, the expectation is that you buy food and drink from the nearby restaurant, but they were great, and Club Gümüşlük didn’t continuously bug us to keep consuming.

Bit by bit, we discovering hidden treasures on the Bodrum Peninsula, and Club Gümüşlük has made it to our treasure chest.
