The Mediterranean's New Chic Boutique Resort
Introducing Yazz Collective
A retreat in the week that turns up the volume at the weekend, Yazz Collective is the Mediterranean's hottest new destination, opening for its first full season in 2023. Set within a private bay in Fethiye, Turkey, the resort boasts an unrivalled location and is only accessible by sea. Designed to cater to both the yacht set and cool creatives, Yazz Collective is the perfect setting to meet with friends, reconnect with family and create long-lasting memories. A haven for travellers to escape to, the resort comprises of a beach restaurant, bar and 16 stylish guest houses peppered amongst verdant gardens.
By day, sprawl out on plush Bali beds dotted along the beach, or reignite passions in paradise with a cultural calendar to catered to suit all tastes. From sunrise yoga sessions to mixology classes and art workshops, during which guests can source inspiration from the resort's on-site art gallery where local and international artists and sculptors are showcased. As the week draws to a close and the sun begins to set the restaurant is transformed, and an electric atmosphere created as renowned DJs take centre stage to host sundown sessions and after dinner parties that continue long into the night. Guests are invited to hop off their boat and onto the deck to soak up the ambience and connect with a likeminded tribe in the most exclusive of settings.
Perfectly encapsulating the essence of Yazz, the restaurant lies at the heart of the resort and provides an idyllic backdrop for lazy lunches that roll into unforgettable evenings. Conceptualised by Executive Chef Mustafa Otar, menus are crafted around seasonal ingredients and local produce and dishes designed to be shared. All day dining incorporates fresh seafood, organic meat, and seasonal vegetables harvested from the resort's own gardens, from woodfired pizzas and sashimi platters to slow roasted ribs and fried zucchini. Complementing the unique flavours created in the kitchen, cocktails are expertly crafted by the resort's mixologist, providing a twist on much-loved classics, from Chilli Margaritas with passionfruit cream to Yazz Mules with pineapple oleo and spicy ginger.
Those looking to venture further afield can coast through crystal clear waters and explore the beauty of the 12 surrounding islands on a private boat tour, whilst back at the resort guests can wind down with traditional Balinese treatments in private spa cabanas. Just a one-hour drive and ten-minute boat ride from Dalaman airport, the resort is easily accessible to international travellers and discerning guests can also opt for a seaplane transfer from Istanbul or helicopter from Bodrum. Alternatively, those travelling by boat can dock at the private jetty, where a tender also operates for larger vessels. Playing host to stays both short and long, be it a pit stop mid-charter, or a long weekend away, guests of Yazz Collective are welcomed with heartfelt hospitality and guaranteed a memorable stay.
Yazz Collective will open on 12th April 2023.
