The retreat takes place in Cirali, a hidden gem on the southern coast of Turkey, where the mountains meet the sea.

Set inside a 21-acre lush garden, surrounded by lemon, orange and bergamot trees, Kimera Lounge offers modern, nature-friendly rooms, each with its own terrace and private garden. Everything here is designed in harmony with nature, creating a deeply calming atmosphere.

Cirali is quiet, wild and authentic — a place where time slows down naturally.

All meals are prepared with organic, seasonal ingredients, most of them coming directly from the hotel’s own farm. Breakfast follows the traditional Turkish style — rich, fresh and nourishing — while lunch and dinner offer both Turkish and international cuisine.

Food here is not just fuel, but part of the experience.

DAILY WALKS & HIKING & BOAT TOUR

We will stay in Cirali, which is a hidden gem of southern Turkey, a place still very much wild, untouched by heavy tourism, a place where you might see the sea turtles come nest on the beaches and have a glimpse of history, dating back to 300 BC.

On our daily walks we’ll see the ancient city Olympos, founded by lycians and conquered by romans later, still partially intact; and of course hike up to Chimera hill (called by the locals Yanartas, which means ‘burning stone’ .), the place is mentioned in Homer’s Iliada. Weather permitting, we will also enjoy a day boat tour, exploring hidden coves, wild beaches and the charming villages and bays of this part of the Mediterranean.
