Location

Nestled on Turkey's southwestern coast in Fethiye, Kabak Valley is a tranquil haven surrounded by pine forests, cliffs and the clear Mediterranean Sea. 

Kabak Valley is classified as a 1st-degree natural site area, which means it is under the highest level of protection due to its unique ecological, geological, and cultural significance. This classification is intended to preserve its pristine natural environment and biodiversity. Kabak Valley is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, including many endemic species that are found nowhere else in the world. The area’s stunning landscapes, including steep cliffs, dense forests and a secluded beach with crystal-clear waters, also make it an important natural heritage site. Additionally, the valley has a tranquil atmosphere that attracts nature lovers, hikers, and those seeking a peaceful escape from urban life.

Adding to its appeal, Kabak Valley is located along the famous Lycian Way, one of the world's top long-distance hiking trails. This ancient route offers stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline and passes through historical sites, making it a perfect blend of nature, adventure and culture. Hikers can explore the scenic beauty of the valley while immersing themselves in the rich history of the region.

A key feature of the valley, where we will stay, is Turan Hill Lounge, a serene retreat nestled in the hills, offering breathtaking views of the valley and sea. This eco-friendly accommodation is a five-minute walk from the sea and blends seamlessly with its surroundings, providing a perfect space for meditation, yoga and reconnecting with nature. With its tranquil atmosphere, cozy wooden cabins and welcoming communal spaces, Turan Hill Lounge makes visitors feel at one with nature while enjoying comfort and simplicity.

With a secluded beach perfect for quiet reflection, Kabak Valley`s  1st-degree protection status ensures that any development or human activity in the area is strictly controlled, preventing environmental degradation and preserving the valley’s natural beauty for future generations, making it an ideal place of healing and renewal.

About us

Maria from Russia

 

I would like to send many thanks to Ece and Federico for well-organised retreat in Kabak Valley in May´25! That event let me feel totally relaxed and happy, I found out so many answers and keys inside which I couldn’t find for a long time. After retreat I feel myself more grounded than ever before. The atmosphere was sooo warm and calm ☺️ if you are looking for something deeply relaxing - highly recommended!

Katrin from Germany

 

We had a wonderful experience. The place is magical - nestled in nature and close to the sea. Everything is provided, the food is excellent, and the view from the dining area is indescribable. The entire area offers privacy and the opportunity to connect with both oneself and nature.

 

Federico and Ece were the most welcoming hosts. The schedule of the retreat was perfect. The combination of yoga classes was excellent, and Federico’s pranayama workshop was a true highlight.

Sadiya from USA

I had the absolute pleasure of joining the Rest & Reset retreat in Kabak Valley, and it truly felt like a gift to my mind, body, and soul. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with such warmth and care. 

Ece and Federico have created something incredibly special. Ece’s nurturing, grounded presence made me feel instantly safe and held, while Frederico’s strong and intentional flows helped me reconnect with strength and clarity in my body.

The retreat space itself is pure magic. Nestled in the heart of Kabak Valley, you're surrounded by the sounds of nature think: birds, owls, the rustling of trees and kind-hearted neighbors. It was the kind of place that makes it hard to leave.

One of the unexpected highlights was the group itself-such a fun, kind-hearted mix of people from all over the world.

I left feeling deeply restored, inspired, and grateful and I would return in a heartbeat.
