The house
Sunis HotelsMonochrome modernist resort
The property runs as an unabashedly playful beach resort, wrapping sun-drenched coastal days in stark white minimalism and nightclub energy.
What it’s good at
Notable
Towering disco balls, stark white surfaces, and color-shifting illumination by architect Eren Talu.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
here somehow it’s fresh again; made new through sheer discipline … and through clever lighting effects — a little colored light, in this monochrome environment, goes a long way.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The pebble shore of Konyaaltı Beach sits across the promenade, and Antalya Aquarium is right next door.
The rooms
Balconies hold full-sized daybeds for sleeping in the open air. Inside, every surface stays strictly all-white under adjustable mood lighting.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Oversized white daybeds line the wooden deck running the length of the outdoor swimming pool.
The hammam and whirlpool
The traditional marble hammam sits beneath a domed ceiling, steps from a mirrored indoor whirlpool tub.
The gym
Cardio and strength machines fill the fitness room, and guests have access to squash and outdoor tennis courts.
Restaurant
Kırmızı Restoran
All-crimson interiors surround the main restaurant, which serves international buffet spreads for breakfast and dinner.
At the table
The illuminated lounge bar serves drinks around the clock. Open-air dining terraces look out over the pool and Antalya Bay.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
