About the Property

Beyaz Yunus Ölü Deniz

Each of the seven individual suites has floor-to-ceiling windows and a spacious terrace, making the most of the extraordinary location and sea views. 

The Concept  

Beyaz Yunus (meaning ‘White Dolphin’) is one of Turkey’s best-reputed fish restaurants. Its reputation has been earned over many years, and results from a combination of superb cuisine and its idyllic location looking directly over the most famous beach in Turkey at Ölü Deniz. Beyaz Yunus has now been relocated to the beautiful and remote island of Kizil Ada to make way for our fabulous and extremely exclusive: Beyaz Yunus Ölü Deniz.

The ‘Beyaz Yunus’ hotels are owned by Mehmet, and they are a result of his quest to present his country in a manner never previously attempted, and to attract guests that might not have looked to Turkey for this style and quality of holiday. Mehmet is keen to create interesting and unusual concepts, and each of his properties (he currently owns three) differs significantly – but the common theme is simply to offer a truly unique environment with excellent personal service for a small number of guests.  

These aims and philosophies coincide perfectly with our own, and we are both proud and delighted to feature the extraordinary Beyaz Yunus Faralya and the utterly breathtaking Beyaz Yunus Ölü Deniz exclusively within our programme.  

What the Beyaz Yunus properties do have in common is their quite superb locations. The ‘safari-like’ Beyaz Yunus Faralya is set in a remote forest clearing directly on the water’s edge, while the more sophisticated Beyaz Yunus Ölü Deniz, enjoys the most glorious setting immediately above the famous beach of Ölü Deniz, with views across the bay that are amongst the best in Turkey!  

It is fair to say that Ölü Deniz does have a commercial feel, however our strong belief, very much backed up by guest feeedback, is that this cannot detract from this stunning property and its extraordinary location. 

About Beyaz Yunus Ölü Deniz  

The entrance is restricted to private keyholders only. Gates open onto an ‘oasislike’ private paradise with spacious garden terraces tumbling down the steep hillside affording staggering sea views from every conceivable vantage point.  

Steps lead around the suites, down past various garden terraces to the glorious setting of the restaurant and bar. Another path winds past the Sauna & Massage Area and onto the swimming pool area. The decked ‘infinity’ pool and pool bar provide wonderful views across Ölü Deniz and offer yet another attractive area for guests to relax in comfort.  

In fact, this boutique hotel provides considerable space for its small number of guests, the idea being to allow you the choice of relaxing in privacy, or joining fellow guests as and when desired.  

Feedback from our guests is quite superb, with no praise higher than that provided for the manager, Mustafa, and his team - truly, nothing is ever too much trouble.  

The focal point is the pool and shaded bar area, where the wonderful Mustafa can be found - seemingly day and night - serving drinks, snacks and meals, and ensuring that every guest feels taken care of.  The service is outstanding – Mustafa simply cannot do enough to make you feel welcome.   

The feeling of exclusivity and privacy is enhanced further by the seven suites. Each individual suite has a contemporary décor with a rustic feel and is designed to provide enormous space, comfort and privacy – both inside and out.

Floor-to-ceiling windows open onto private terraces which are almost as large as the suites themselves, and ensure maximum impact is made of the amazing location – staggering views can be found from virtually every point, including the kingsize beds! The bedroom opens onto a spacious terrace which has the feel of an alfresco sitting room – complete with outdoor jacuzzi tub (and one with a private pool).

Beyaz Yunus Ölü Deniz is a truly unique hotel with arguably the most privileged location in Turkey!
