On the untouched shores of Fethiye’s Günlüklü Bay, Ahãma is rewriting the definition of luxury travel. Set within a protected 20-hectare forest and framed by the dramatic Babadağ Mountains, the Turkish Riviera’s newest destination blends world-class architecture, ecological reverence, and design-driven tranquility. This isn’t a resort—it’s a curated immersion into nature, culture, and meticulous craftsmanship.

Named after a Lycian word for “beloved,” Ahãma is a sanctuary where preservation leads the design ethos. Only 59 accommodations—spanning cabanas, guesthouse suites, and a private villa—are thoughtfully embedded in the natural terrain. Timber structures echo ancient Lycia, marble blocks are carved from nearby mountains, and interiors layer soft linens, reed textures, and restored 200-year-old kilims. Every detail—from subtle Lycian inscriptions in the showers to handcrafted ceramics by local artisans—anchors guests to place and history.

Wellness here isn’t an add-on; it’s a philosophy. Guests move from sunrise yoga in an open-air shala to forest bathing, sound-healing journeys inside Héctor Esrawe’s sculptural Sound Temple, and saltwater swims along untouched sands. Evenings shift into soulful sophistication: fire-driven dining at AY, Japanese omakase at Ēge Umi, Mediterranean plates at The Glass House, and vibrant Mexican-Mediterranean inspiration at Mezkla Göcek.

Ahãma invites connection: to nature, to self, and to culture. It’s where barefoot luxury meets architectural poetry; where silence holds as much weight as design; and where modern travelers discover true stillness, surrounded by ancient forests and Aegean blue.
