This September and October, discover the Mediterranean with OKU Ibiza, OKU Kos, OKU Bodrum and OKU Andalusia

As summer gives way to autumn, the Mediterranean takes on a different rhythm with milder temperatures, making it the perfect temperature to explore its landscapes, heritage, and local traditions. This September and October, guests can discover the region through experiences that bring together nature, wellness, and gastronomy at OKU Hotels across Bodrum, Andalusia, Ibiza, and Kos. 

Sailing the Aegean and uncovering hidden treasures at OKU Bodrum

OKU Bodrum is set along the glittering northern shore of the Bodrum peninsula, offering a getaway to the region’s dramatic coastline and rich cultural heritage. Guests can set out from the hotel’s private jetty to discover quiet lagoons, nearby islands, and vibrant marinas, or explore mountainous hiking trails, local fishing villages, traditional weaving studios, and ruins from the Hellenistic and Byzantine eras. 

At the hotel, guests can enjoy a wide range of experiences, including hilltop morning yoga and nourishing breakfast picnics to private sunset sailing with a curated Chef’s Table menu. The hotel also hosts a weekly Farm to Glass cocktail workshop, drawing on Bodrum’s native botanicals, bringing the flavours of the peninsula into the glass. 

Wild landscapes, whitewashed villages, and local traditions at OKU Andalusia

Situated where the Andalusian hills meet the Mediterranean Sea, OKU Andalusia offers an escape rooted in the natural and cultural beauty of southern Spain. The resort is framed by the Los Alcornocales Natural Reserve and surrounded by some of the world’s finest golf courses.

Guests can explore the rugged landscapes of the nature reserve on bespoke hikes, visit the whitewashed village of Casares or discover Ronda and its famous mountainous bridge. A private boat trip from Sotongrande offers the chance to explore the southern coast towards Gibraltar or Marbella, whilst the nearby Tarifa provides world-class conditions for kitesurfing and windsurfing. Guests can also discover local flavours through Andalusian wine tasting with the hotel’s sommelier or a visit to a traditional goat farm to experience the craft of local cheesemaking.

Hidden coves, cultural heritage, and island peace at OKU Ibiza

Set on Ibiza’s western shores, OKU Ibiza provides a base for discovering the island’s cultural heritage and natural landscapes. Guests can explore the UNESCO-listed Dalt Vila, discover local artisans, and venture along the coastline to uncover hidden coves and stretches of beach. Autumn’s cooler days are well suited to guided hikes along Punta Galera, private boat charters and evening picnics overlooking the Mediterranean sunset.

Back at the hotel, guests can restore balance with sound healing, guided breathwork and signature wellness rituals. Dining highlights include Teyo, with Nikkei-inspired open-fire cooking, and To Kima, serving seasonal dishes poolside.

Tracing the roots of wellness and discovering island traditions at OKU Kos

On the northern shore of Kos, OKU Kos combines beachfront seclusion with easy access to the island’s cultural and natural treasures. Guests can explore the ancient Asklepion, birthplace of holistic wellness, visit family-run vineyards and olive farms, or wander through whitewashed villages to discover the island’s local character.

The mild autumn climate is well suited to horseback riding, cycling and windsurfing in Kos’ renowned waters. Evenings bring stargazing with the hotel’s resident astronomer, open-air cinema screenings and relaxed bonfires on the beach. At the spa, guests can enjoy Hammam rituals, treatments with local botanicals and the signature Hippocratic aromatherapy massage.
