The Property — Siesta Beach Apart
Siesta Beach Apart feels like a no-fuss, functional base for travellers who prioritise beach access over frills. The small lobby is clean and bright, staffed by friendly locals who get you checked in quickly. Its USP is the direct sea view from many rooms and an outdoor pool that catches the afternoon sun. This place suits couples or solo travellers wanting a simple, affordable stay right on the sand, without resort pretensions.
Chronicles of Mugla
Mugla province’s coastal strip, including the area around Siesta Beach Apart, was historically part of the ancient Carian region, with nearby Bodrum (Halicarnassus) founded by colonists in the 7th century BC. The town itself grew modestly as a fishing and sponge-diving centre under the Ottoman Empire, leaving behind whitewashed, cube-shaped houses typical of the Aegean. Mass tourism boomed from the 1980s, transforming the bay into a summer holiday belt of hotels and marinas. Today, the local identity blends traditional Turkish hospitality with a laid-back, international beach-club vibe, especially along the Gumbet and Bitez shores.
Best Time to Visit
Full Mugla guide →Best months
May, June, September: warm seas (22–26°C), reliable sun, and tourist numbers manageable before the July–August school-holiday rush.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are absolute peak: scorching 35°C+ heat, crowds on every beach, and hotel prices double (this 3-star nightly rate hits £80–120). The Bodrum International Ballet Festival in late July and local village feasts draw additional visitors.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are the budget sweet spot: airfares drop, rooms around £40–60/night, temperatures 18–25°C, and the sea still swimmable in October.
Weather & packing
Mugla’s summer is Mediterranean classic – bone-dry and brilliant, but the occasional meltem wind can whip up sand on open beaches. Pack a lightweight long-sleeved shirt for sun protection and a windbreaker for unexpected breezy evenings.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Siesta Beach Apart, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request an upper-floor unit, ideally the 3rd or 4th floor, facing away from the street to reduce road noise and capture more light and breeze off the Mugla valley.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor or lower-level rooms facing the street; these get direct traffic noise from the main road running through Mugla, especially during daytime.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors facing south or west likely overlook the Mugla valley or distant hills; north-facing units may just catch the town and road.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, as they are above street-level racket and unlikely to pick up lobby or breakfast area noise from the ground floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Mugla’s main road runs through town, so street-facing rooms will hear traffic, scooters, and occasional delivery trucks until late evening. No on-site bar or club, so noise after 11pm is mainly residual street activity.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, ask about free street parking or a nearby lot — many 3-star places in Mugla don’t have dedicated parking. 2. Request a room on the 3rd floor as the lift may be slow; it’s a short climb for better quiet and a quicker escape at checkout.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
