Your summer itinerary
1. A cook & stay experience
Let the experts take the cooking off your hands, with Bahche’s Cook & Stay package. Throughout your stay, enjoy private dining from Head Chef Yalçın, designed to suit your tastes and dietary needs. The full luxury experience, think authentic Turkish eats without lifting a finger (or leaving paradise). A nature getaway and someone cooks for you? Count us in!
2. A scenic sip & paint
Get those creative juices flowing and dip into a vibrant onsite Sip & Paint session by Studio High Street. Let the scenic surrounds and summer breeze inspire you, and watch as your canvas comes to life. Paintbrushes at the ready, wine in hand, and the scent of Turkish bites from Olive Thyme wafting through the air, you’re in for an energetic afternoon of sun-soaked memory-making (keepsake included!).
3. A leafy long lunch
Sit back and sink into some summer sippin’ with an al fresco long lunch at Balche. Dig into Chef Yalçın’s shared feast delivered straight from paddock to plate. This season, make a toast to good food and great company with fresh flavours, sunny skies and a glass in hand – now that’s something we can get behind.
4. Meet your new farmyard friends
This one’s for all you animal lovers out there. Cross the stone bridge to spend the day exploring the neighbouring animal rescue, Mango Hill Farm – meeting some special furry friends along the way! This is your chance to feed and pet the sheep, alpacas, mini cows, horses, goats, and chickens. You even get to meet their chatty cockatoo named Wilson, who’s always up for a good yap sesh!
