Gigi Rigolatto Bodrum, the emblem of Mediterranean elegance, is set to grace the shores of the Turkish Riviera this summer. Following successful ventures in Paris, Saint-Tropez, and Dubai, this luxurious beach club and restaurant concept will open at the prestigious Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum in June 2025.
The pop-up marks the first phase of a long-term partnership between the iconic hospitality brands, with plans for Gigi Rigolatto Bodrum to return with a permanent location within the resort in summer 2026.

The Gigi Rigolatto Bodrum experience unfolds on an outdoor terrace with 140 seats offering panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Mandarin Oriental’s five-star luxury resort, the venue seamlessly integrates with the property’s exclusive ambience, characterised by lush gardens, private beaches, and world-class amenities.
This newest addition to the Gigi portfolio combines the concept’s signature elements with touches that honour its Turkish Riviera setting. Franco-Mexican architect Hugo Toro has created a design that blends historical Italian references with the French art of living, adapting the refined aesthetic to complement Bodrum’s natural beauty.
A culinary journey through Italy
At the heart of Gigi Rigolatto Bodrum is a culinary experience that celebrates the richness of Italian cuisine. Seasonal dishes transport diners from the rolling hills of Tuscany to the sun-drenched coasts of Puglia, all while overlooking the azure waters of the Aegean.
Central to the Gigi experience is the Bellini Bar, where the classic cocktail reigns supreme. Whether enjoying a sun-drenched lunch or sipping sunset Bellinis, guests will find themselves immersed in an atmosphere that embodies the brand’s motto: “La Vita Alla Grande!”

The Gigi lifestyle extends beyond gastronomy through an exclusive concept store within the venue. This carefully curated boutique features a selection of international brands and unique products, including swimwear, beachwear, accessories, home décor, and jewellery that capture Gigi’s distinct aesthetic.
This holistic approach to luxury beachside hospitality is what sets Gigi apart, creating a destination rather than merely a restaurant. The concept invites guests to linger, experiencing the full spectrum of Mediterranean pleasures in one sophisticated setting.
A new chapter for luxury hospitality in Bodrum
The arrival of Gigi Rigolatto Bodrum represents a significant addition to Bodrum’s already impressive luxury landscape. As the Turkish Riviera continues to evolve as a premier Mediterranean destination, collaborations like this further cement the region’s status on the global luxury map.
Gigi Rigolatto Bodrum at Mandarin Oriental is poised to redefine seaside luxury this summer, offering an unparalleled blend of fine dining, entertainment, and Mediterranean charm. Here, every moment is lived “Alla Grande!” – in grand style – against the backdrop of one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating coastlines.
