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.
