Günay's Garden

Top choice in Turquoise Coast


This fine boutique resort consists of self-catering villas hidden within lush gardens and set around a shimmering pool. Some of the villas have both front and back balconies, and all have generous terraces with ample sunloungers. The views of the abandoned village are evocative.

British host Rebecca ensures Günay's is a regular venue for yoga courses, art and literary events (Louis de Bernières, author of Birds Without Wings, has stayed and read here), while husband Tolga is in command of the kitchen at the excellent İzela Restaurant, located in the grounds.
