Where memories are made with love
Once upon a time, there was a local open air cinema, bringing people together in a beautiful orchard, screening and hosting the stories that put a spell on those who visited. That same orchard is today a place of serenity, joy, intimacy, simplicity and elegance, offering both the tranquil and entertaining.
And once not long ago, there was a little boy who couldn’t say “I love you” so he pronounced it “Alavya”. Designed, built and operated with love, this is a place that offers all the pleasures of life.

Sustainability at Alavya
ALAÇATI
A stroll among cobblestone streets and traditional stone houses is enough to understand why visitors fall in love with Alaçatı.
Located at the heart of the İzmir Peninsula, Alaçatı is a town that enchants visitors with its historical beauty and rich folklore. Know as ‘Agrilia’ in ancient times, it had many incarnations. During Ottoman times it was refered to at ‘Alacaatli’ (the home of the Alacaat clan). In the 19th century the Greeks called it ‘Alatzata’ a name believed to have derived from the word ’alas’ (meaning ‘salt’) after the surrounding salt lakes. Alaçatı is a haven for visitors to spend an enchanted vacation inspired by picturesque streets, quaint stone houses, intimate cafes, impeccable vineyards, fragrant lavender fields and alluring winds which dance with the local windmilss and surfers from around the world.
POLİMEKS
Honouring the past whilst embracing the best of modern technology, Alavya has been brought to life by the architectural team at POLİMEKS, an internationally acclaimed world wide construction company at the heart of many prominent and prestigious projects.
About our Founders: Rana & Erol Bangbang
Designed, built and operated with love, Alavya is rooted in local culture and inspired by global standards from our founders’ travels. Rana and Erol created Alavya with comfort and nature in mind, gracefully weaving a Master of Ceremonies and architect’s minds and ideas. The contemporary works by renowned Turkish artists are from Erol Tabanca’s private collection.
Hakan Ezer
Individually styled rooms were thoughtfully envisioned by interior designed extrordinaire Hakan Ezer. A resident of Alaçatı, Ezer’s design imbues Alavya with a unique, whimsical beauty: an atmospheric reflection of his elegant taste, artistic passion and his desire to merge past and present with local and natural flair.
