SCORPIOS BODRUM CLOSED FOR SUMMER 2026: HOW TO REACH SCORPIOS MYKONOS FROM BODRUM BY YACHT, HELICOPTER OR PRIVATE JET
Scorpios Bodrum has announced via its official Instagram channel that the venue has suspended operations as of July 3, 2026, for the remainder of the summer season. For travelers and Soho House members who built their entire Bodrum summer around the Scorpios beach club experience, this leaves a significant gap in the region’s nightlife and lifestyle calendar. The good news is that the original Scorpios experience is still very much alive across the Aegean in Mykonos, and Bodrum remains one of the fastest and most convenient departure points to reach it.
WHY SCORPIOS BODRUM’S CLOSURE MATTERS THIS SUMMER
Scorpios Bodrum opened as the brand’s second location outside Mykonos, bringing the same signature Ritual gatherings, sunset sets, wellbeing programming and creative community atmosphere to the Turkish Aegean coast. For two summers it became a fixture on the Bodrum Peninsula social calendar, drawing residents of Yalıkavak, Türkbükü, Gümbet and central Bodrum along with international visitors who specifically planned their trips around it.
With the venue now closed for the entire 2026 summer season, anyone hoping to experience Scorpios’ distinctive blend of music, dining, wellness and Aegean sunset culture this year has only one option left: the original location in Mykonos. Fortunately, Bodrum’s geography makes it one of the best-positioned cities in the region for a same-day or short-stay trip to Mykonos, and Tesla Travel has built out dedicated private transfer routes specifically for guests making this journey.
OPTION ONE: PRIVATE SPEEDBOAT FROM BODRUM TO MYKONOS
For travelers who want a direct sea route without connecting through another island, a private speedboat charter from Bodrum to Mykonos is available as a one-way crossing taking approximately four and a half hours. This is the most straightforward way to get from the Bodrum marina directly to Mykonos waters without any layover, and it suits groups who want to treat the crossing itself as part of the experience, cruising past the Dodecanese islands along the way.
This route works well for guests traveling with luggage for an extended Mykonos stay, those who prefer sea travel over flying, or groups chartering a full boat for a private, unhurried journey. Because it is a private charter rather than a scheduled ferry, departure times can be arranged to match flight connections, hotel check-in windows, or evening arrival at Scorpios Mykonos itself.
OPTION TWO: PRIVATE HELICOPTER FROM BODRUM AIRPORT TO MYKONOS
For guests who prioritize speed, a private helicopter charter departing directly from Bodrum Milas Airport to Mykonos is the fastest single-leg option available. Rather than a multi-hour sea crossing, the helicopter transfer compresses the journey into a fraction of the time, making it realistic to fly out from Bodrum, spend an afternoon or evening at Scorpios Mykonos, and return the same trip if needed.
Two route options are available for this segment: a direct point-to-point helicopter flight, or the connecting route described below via Kos. Pricing for private helicopter or private jet charters on this route starts from 18,000 Euros, with the final cost depending on passenger count and total weight carried, since aircraft capacity is calculated on a combined passenger and baggage basis. This pricing structure applies to both the helicopter and private jet options, so travelers should confirm group size and luggage needs in advance to receive an accurate quote.
OPTION THREE: PRIVATE JET FROM BODRUM TO MYKONOS
For larger groups, guests who prefer fixed-wing travel, or those connecting from further afield through Bodrum, a private jet charter is also available for the Bodrum-to-Mykonos route. As with the helicopter option, pricing starts from 18,000 Euros and scales with passenger numbers and weight. This option suits guests who want cabin comfort for a slightly longer flight window, or who are combining the Mykonos leg with other private aviation segments across the Aegean and Mediterranean.
OPTION FOUR: THE BODRUM–KOS–MYKONOS ROUTE
Tesla Travel also operates a dedicated combination route built specifically around speed and flexibility: a fast sea crossing from Bodrum to Kos in approximately 25 minutes, followed by a private helicopter transfer from Kos to Mykonos in around 50 minutes. This two-leg journey is particularly useful for travelers who want the efficiency of a short hop to Kos first, whether to combine the trip with a stop on the island, connect with other travelers joining from Kos, or simply prefer breaking the journey into two faster segments rather than one long crossing or a single expensive charter.
This route is exclusive to Tesla Travel’s private transfer network and is arranged end-to-end, meaning the sea crossing and the helicopter leg are coordinated together so guests do not need to manage separate bookings or worry about connection timing between the boat and the helicopter.
WHICH ROUTE SHOULD YOU CHOOSE
Experience the fastest and most luxurious way to travel between Mykonos and Bodrum with VIP helicopter transfers, breathtaking Aegean views, private terminal services, and seamless luxury travel solutions.
Each of these four routes serves a different type of traveler:
The private speedboat direct to Mykonos suits guests who want a single relaxed sea journey with no connections, and who have the full afternoon available for a four-and-a-half-hour crossing.
The direct private helicopter or private jet from Bodrum Airport suits guests prioritizing speed above all else, larger groups who can share the charter cost, and anyone who wants to arrive at Scorpios Mykonos in the shortest possible time from Bodrum.
The Bodrum–Kos–Mykonos combination suits travelers who want the fastest possible sea leg paired with a short helicopter connection, or who have reasons to pass through Kos on the way.
Given that pricing for helicopter and private jet charters starts from 18,000 Euros and scales with group size, guests planning to travel with friends or as part of a larger party should inquire early, since splitting a charter across a fuller group significantly reduces the per-person cost compared to a smaller party.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT SCORPIOS MYKONOS
Scorpios Mykonos remains the flagship location of the brand and continues its full seasonal program of Ritual gatherings, live music, sunset dining and wellbeing offerings near Soho Roc House on the island. For Soho House members and previous Scorpios Bodrum guests, the Mykonos location offers the same design language and community atmosphere that made the Bodrum outpost popular, just relocated to its original Aegean home.
Travelers should plan ahead for accommodation and reservations at Scorpios Mykonos, particularly during peak July and August weekends, since demand is expected to rise this summer with the Bodrum location temporarily out of the calendar.
BOOK YOUR PRIVATE TRANSFER TO MYKONOS FROM BODRUM
With Scorpios Bodrum closed for the rest of the 2026 summer season, Bodrum-based travelers, Soho House members and visitors staying in the region no longer have a local Scorpios venue to fall back on. Reaching Mykonos directly is now the only way to experience the club, its music program, its dining and its wellbeing spaces this year.
Tesla Travel offers all of the transfer options described above from Bodrum: private speedboat charters, direct private helicopter and private jet charters from Bodrum Airport, and the combined Bodrum–Kos–Mykonos helicopter route. Each option can be tailored to group size, timing and budget, with helicopter and jet pricing starting from 18,000 Euros depending on the number of passengers and total weight.
For travelers who have already built their summer plans around a Scorpios experience, booking a private transfer now, before peak season demand tightens availability on both boats and aircraft, is the most reliable way to guarantee a spot at Scorpios Mykonos this year. Contact Tesla Travel directly to check current availability, confirm group size for pricing, and arrange your private crossing or flight to Mykonos.
