It's quickly become the epicenter of Bodrum, Palmarina with its master planned yacht harbor and showy collection of restaurants and shopping that now includes an outpost of Zuma. Located along the manmade island's 'old city' and series of elaborate pools once home to Nobu, the indoor/outdoor eatery is best experienced late-nights along the terrace with its marble detailing and posh collection of visitors. A simple décor mixes a Japanese aesthetic with native olive trees and evening lounge anthems that bring a added dose of elegance to summertime Bodrum.
