What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Biblos’s buildings may be made of traditional stone, but they’re modern through and through, the rooms and suites a model of understated contemporary luxury.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Alaçatı surf bay sits right outside, and the town center's cobblestone streets are five minutes inland by car.
The rooms
Rooms stick to neutral tones and brushed metal, and Laguna suites open directly into a winding swim-up pool.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Timber decks and curtained cabanas surround the pools, with one terrace looking straight out over the bay.
The spa
Lantern-lit corridors lead to private treatment suites with soaking tubs, beside salt saunas and an aromatic steam room.
At the table
Breakfast spreads across the poolside deck, and dinner brings Aegean meze and wood-fired kebabs beside the garden fountain.
How it began
The resort takes its name from ancient Byblos, with maritime mosaic murals crafted on site by three hundred art students.
