Royal Asarlik Beach Hotel & Spa

Land at Milas-Bodrum Airport without a transfer arranged, and reaching Royal Asarlik Beach Hotel & Spa on the Asarlik shoreline of Gumbet means picking between three imperfect options: a taxi with a fare fixed only once you've arrived, a shared shuttle stopping at other hotels along the way, or a rental car finding its way through roads it's never driven. All three eat into the start of a holiday.

Royal Asarlik Beach Hotel & Spa, set back on Ethem Kaptan Sokak off Adnan Menderes Caddesi, sits about 43 minutes from the airport on a normal day, more when the road toward Gumbet's beachfront gets congested in high season.

With City Transfer Turkey, the price is agreed weeks before you land, your flight is tracked so a delay changes nothing, and a licensed driver meets you at arrivals to drive straight to the hotel — none of the extra stops a shuttle makes on its rounds. Few things beat knowing your ride is already sorted before your plane even leaves the ground, which is the real advantage of this Gumbet airport transfer.

Sedans suit two travelers moving light, while a roomy VIP minivan covers families or bigger groups, both handled by an experienced, licensed driver. A private transfer by any other name — Bodrum transfer, Bodrum airport transfer — is still City Transfer Turkey, and still the same reliable service.
