Set within a private bay in Fethiye, Turkey, Yazz Collective is a chic, new boutique resort inviting guests to disconnect from everyday life, reconnect with nature and create long-lasting memories in idyllic surroundings…
Designed by Istanbul-based architecture agency FAAR Concept, Yazz Collective is characterised by an innovative organic architecture philosophy, creating structures that appear to be an extension of the bay’s striking natural features. Architecturally integrated into the surrounding landscape, the resort is designed to sit in harmony with nature, seamlessly blending contemporary design and understated luxury with authentic local craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from its Mediterranean heritage and Balinese lifestyle, the resort is only accessible by sea, making it the perfect destination for guests seeking seclusion.
The 16 spacious guest houses are decorated in serene earth tones, complete with light chestnut furnishings to contrast the resort’s lush greenery, while plush bedding, outdoor showers, colourful art pieces and floor-to-ceiling windows offering ample natural light create an overall feeling of serenity.
Clean lines and natural textures can be found throughout the resort, along with unique furniture that exudes a sense of stylish simplicity, crafted by Turkish artisans following traditional techniques and utilising local materials. An on-site art gallery, showcasing works of renowned Turkish painters and sculptors, compliments Yazz Collective’s unique spirit. Guests can also create their very own masterpieces in workshops led by resident artist. Boasting an unrivalled location on the Aegean coastline, the resort is also home to an all-day beach restaurant with menus featuring seasonal ingredients and local produce, a bustling bar and spa cabanas that offer traditional Balinese treatments.
