Italian flair, Bellinis by the sea, and sunsets to remember – it’s all happening this summer at Mandarin Oriental, Turkey.
After leaving its mark on Paris, Saint-Tropez, and Dubai, Gigi Rigolatto is setting its sights on the Turkish Riviera – and we’re officially obsessed. This summer, the cult-favourite lifestyle and dining destination arrives at the Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum, bringing its signature blend of effortless glamour, next-level Italian cuisine, and La Dolce Vita vibes.
Launching this June, the exclusive summer pop-up is the first taste of a long-term love affair with the resort – with plans already underway for a permanent Gigi Bodrum in 2026.
Yes, it’s that serious.
Where Italian Charm Meets Aegean Elegance
Picture this: alfresco lunches with sea views, clinking Bellinis as the sun dips behind the horizon, and late-night dancing under the stars. That’s Gigi Bodrum.
Set on the lush grounds of Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum, this ultra-chic terrace seats 140 guests and overlooks one of the most breathtaking coastlines in the world. Expect palm-fringed privacy, lush gardens, and the kind of service that makes you feel like Italian royalty.
Food That Feels Like a First-Class Ticket to Italy
Gigi’s menu is an ode to Italian culinary classics – think coastal flavours, seasonal flair, and the kind of pasta that makes you close your eyes mid-bite. And of course, the Bellini Bar takes centre stage, serving the peachy icon with serious style.
Shop the Lifestyle at Gigi’s Concept Store
More than just a restaurant, Gigi’s is a full-blown mood – and the on-site boutique proves it. Curated with a jet-set crowd in mind, the concept store is packed with luxe swimwear, chic beachwear, curated homeware, statement jewellery, and beauty must-haves.
Designed to Dazzle
Created in collaboration with renowned architect Hugo Toro, Gigi’s spaces are inspired by Italy’s rich cultural past and reimagined with a modern twist. Think Roman elegance meets French finesse – brought to life through textures, tones, and timeless aesthetics.
Live “Alla Grande” All Summer Long
Whether you’re in it for the food, the fashion, or the fabulous crowd, Gigi Bodrum is set to be the place to see and be seen this season. It’s all about sun, sophistication, and unforgettable moments by the sea.
Gigi is calling. Bellini in hand, darling.
