Yusalis Garden Hotel

A small and peaceful garden hotel nestled between two streams, beneath the shade of centuries-old olive trees, where art blends seamlessly with the rhythm of nature.

The Spirit of the Hotel

Yusali's Garden was created with the idea of preserving Çıralı's unique sense of slowness, warmth and connection with nature. Set between two streams, the hotel carries its own artistic touches in every corner.

One of the garden's most special features is its ancient olive trees, some nearly a thousand years old. They were brought here from other provinces, where they were facing removal due to construction regulations, and given a new life in this garden.

Set within lush greenery, the idea behind Yusali's Garden is simple: to create a place where guests do not simply stay, but can, even for a few days, become part of nature's rhythm.

Here, a holiday is about swimming in the sea, enjoying good food, and perhaps simply sitting in the garden doing absolutely nothing.

Architecture & Design

One of Yusali's Garden's defining characteristics is that it does not compete with nature, but exists within it. Its spacious garden, natural textures, peaceful communal areas and centuries-old olive trees reflect Çıralı's character without trying to alter it.

Art is not merely decoration here; it is part of everyday life. Ceramics, creative workshops and yoga sessions transform the stay from simply having a place to sleep into an experience that encourages creativity, slowing down and making time for yourself.

Regular artistic activities, workshops and open-air cinema nights further strengthen this unique connection between nature and art.

The Stay: 4 Details Guests Love Most

1. The peaceful garden surrounded by nature:
A lush, breathing garden between two streams, where you wake up to the sound of birds.

2. The cuisine:
The heart of the experience. Led by an accomplished chef, the kitchen focuses on fresh ingredients, thoughtful preparation and flavour.

3. Open-air cinema on summer evenings:
Watching a film beneath the stars, surrounded by nature, is one of Yusali's Garden's most memorable rituals.

4. The intimate atmosphere:
Far removed from large, crowded hotels, the atmosphere is personal, peaceful and natural. Rather than feeling like you are staying at a hotel, you feel as though you are inhabiting a private space created within nature.

The essence of the Yusali's Garden experience can be summed up quite simply: waking up to birdsong, reaching the sea by car in just five minutes, relaxing in the garden in the afternoon, and ending the day with a good meal and a cocktail.

In other words, a holiday built around the luxury of having nowhere you need to be.

Food & Drink

Freshness and care are just as important as flavour in the kitchen. Breakfast offers a generous and enjoyable table, designed for starting the day slowly and without rushing.

In the evenings, the focus is on seasonal, fresh ingredients. Rather than serving typical hotel food, the philosophy is to create a genuine culinary experience built around good ingredients.

A bar and drinks service are also available. Alongside classic drinks, the bar offers a selection of creative cocktails.

At the end of the day, spending time in the garden or at the bar with a cocktail is one of the moments that best captures Çıralı's relaxed atmosphere.

Things to Discover Around Çıralı

Yusali's Garden is located along the Lycian Way, surrounded by nature. The area around Çıralı offers an abundance of routes for hiking and nature lovers.

Olympos Ancient City:
One of the region's most remarkable historical sites. Lycian history can be explored among ruins surrounded by forest, with a stream running through the ancient city. It offers much more than a traditional archaeological site experience.

Yanartaş (Chimera):
One of Çıralı's most distinctive experiences. Seeing the flames that have been burning naturally among the rocks for thousands of years, particularly in the evening, brings the area's ancient mythology to life.

The Lycian Way & Hidden Bays:
Being located on the Lycian Way makes the hotel an ideal starting point for hikes. Adrasan and the secluded bays around it are also excellent options for day trips and exploration.

The Sea:
Yusali's Garden is approximately a 5–6-minute drive from Çıralı Beach. With its long sandy shore, natural setting and peaceful atmosphere, Çıralı Beach is one of the area's essential experiences.

The beach is not simply a place for swimming; it is also ideal for walking and spending time throughout the day. Çıralı Beach is also part of a unique natural ecosystem and an important nesting area for loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta).

Food & Drink Recommendations:
Rather than large restaurant chains, Çıralı is characterised by small, local businesses that blend naturally into their surroundings.

Small garden restaurants and cafés that highlight local ingredients and flavours are particularly well suited to the character of the area and offer a more authentic Çıralı experience.
