Located at the top of Uchisar Valley in Cappadocia, Turkey, the Ariana Sustainable Luxury Lodge offers guests an escape from their every day lives. With a history dating back to the beginnings of human civilization in 12000 BC, the lodge combines its history with luxury. Nestled between the Mediterranean and Black Sea, Cappadocia has views stretching over the entire valley. Not only does the resort produce its own solar power, it also cultivates its own fruits and vegetables. With everything from luxury suites to contemporary restaurants and activities, this 5-star resort has something for everyone to enjoy. These are just some of our favorite parts of the Ariana Sustainable Luxury Lodge.
Suites
While the Ariana Sustainable Luxury Lodge has a variety of luxury suites to choose from, they all offer the perfect mix of comfort and contemporary. Named after gods and goddesses, the rooms each have their own individual uniqueness. Guests are given the option to choose from a deluxe, superior, loft, duplex or king suite with spa. Most include a work desk, sitting area and walk in closet, with the option to add a private deck as well. The isolated setups of the suites give you complete privacy with breathtaking views. Enjoy the 100% Egyptian cotton white sateen linens and bubble baths before brewing yourself an espresso right in your room. Should you choose to upgrade to the King Suite, you’ll also enjoy a magnificent fireplace and marble floors. Each suite comes furnished with commissioned art photography and custom-crafted furnishings for an added touch of elegance.
Restaurants
What could be better than enjoying a contemporary Mediterranean dish while watching the sunset over the valley? The Plum Restaurant is a must while staying at the Ariana Sustainable Luxury Lodge. The menu is redesigned each season by their well-known Executive Chefs with daily afternoon tea available along with Port and cookies. Discover the local ingredients of Cappadocia and cuisines from around the world with a Tasting Menu for all guests. We recommend sampling the local wine selection as well to pair perfectly with your meal. To book a Tasting Menu or an A’la carte breakfast, lunch or dinner, you may contact the lodge here.
Activities
Whether you prefer to stay at the hotel or get out and explore, the Ariana Sustainable Luxury Lodge has some of the most fun activities around! Book a private tour of the area and receive your very own tour guide and driver for the day. Looking for a little exercise? Try your hand with quad biking and see more of the beautiful Cappadocia. If you’re looking for a truly memorable adventure, we recommend booking a hot air balloon ride. Fly high over the Uchisar Valley while enjoying a romantic moment you won’t soon forget. Or you can also spend a day with your family hiking the local terrain or horse trekking through the valley. You can even try their pottery making classes to get your hands dirty.
Because of the small size of the Ariana Sustainable Luxury Lodge, privacy is easy to find on its grounds. With its panoramic views of the valley and modern architecture throughout, it’s no wonder this resort has so many 5 star reviews. It’s unique history creates an atmosphere that many luxury lodges are missing as well as creating its very own solar power for the grounds. From its luxury suites to fine dining and various activities, the Ariana Sustainable Luxury Lodge is the perfect place to getaway and escape reality. So, are you looking for more sustainable resorts?
