Playful forest hideaway
Secluded villas hide among coastal pine woods, where quiet beach cabanas, outdoor art workshops, and warm sea breezes set the pace.
“The elegant one-to-four-bedroom villas emanate comfort, blending soft creams and smooth curves with natural touches of wood and wicker.”

What they say
Michelin Selected

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Hidden in Maquis shrubland on Turkey’s southern coast, Bijal is a low-key retreat of 19 private villas, all glassy pools, soft angles…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Surrounded by Sorgun pine woods, the grounds sit moments from a quiet golden beach and a short journey from ancient Roman ruins.
The rooms
Walled gardens wrap private residences styled in soft creams and natural wicker, each with a heated swimming pool, deep tub, and dedicated butler.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The beachfront pool plays music through an underwater sound system, and a central Lake Pool sits among the pines.
The spa
Private rooms host Thai and Shiatsu bodywork, and the thermal suite includes a traditional Turkish hammam and sauna.
Dogs stay too.
Club House Restaurant
Menus developed with chef Theodor Falser bring Italian and Mediterranean plates to terrace tables overlooking the Lake Pool.
Beach House Restaurant
This open-air pavilion on the sand serves fresh seafood and hosts acoustic music in the evenings.
At the table
The bar lounge pours signature cocktails around a curved timber counter lined with plush pink armchairs.
How it began
Created by the Turkish group behind JOALI Maldives, the resort brings a barefoot island philosophy to the pine forests of Antalya.
