A delightful retreat just a short stroll to the picturesque village of Selimiye

Discerning Collection are proud to introduce the utterly charming Badem Tatil to our small collection of boutique hotels in the unspoilt village of Selimiye.

If you are seeking a small, family-run retreat to escape to, Badem Tatil is a fabulous choice. With only 12 rooms and suites – all with stunning sea views, a gorgeous infinity pool, and even it’s own little private beach, Badem Tatil is the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway.

The charming owners Gonul and Zeki wanted to keep the emphasis of Badem Tatil local to the area; the building was built from local stone, the friendly team that work at the hotel are all from the surrounding region, and all of the produce used to cook the delicious meals are, of course sourced locally. Each evening, a splendid a la carte menu is offered to those that wish to dine in. (As all the dishes ingredients are prepared fresh daily, it is asked that guests notify the staff after breakfast if they require supper at the hotel that evening).

If however, you prefer to dine out in the evening, there is a wonderful selection of restaurants in Selimiye, dotted around the pretty horseshoe shaped bay and also tucked in the quiet little backstreets.

The views from the Badem Tatil are just beautiful, to while away a few hours by the infinity pool gazing out to sea is so relaxing, or why not head to the hotel’s private beach, just an 8 minutes stroll to the shore and the regular water taxi will whisk you off to the beach where comfy sun loungers on the water’s edge await, or perhaps try your hand at canoeing or windsurfing, free of charge to hotel guests!

Due to the hotel’s steep hillside location, Badem Tatil is not suitable for those with walking difficulties.
