Hotel in Side, Turkey

About BIJAL
Hidden in Maquis shrubland on Turkey’s southern coast, Bijal is a low-key retreat of 19 private villas, all glassy pools, soft angles, and oversized gardens scented with pine. A short walk brings you to the temple ruins of Side; a shorter one to a stretch of near-empty golden beach. It’s elegant but playful, full of thoughtful design cues and nothing overstated. The hush is real, interrupted mostly by cicadas – the vision of the resort is a quieter, more grounded expression of home.
