Priene Houses – designed to stay


Opening in April 2026, Akra Didim introduces a new way of staying on Türkiye’s Aegean coast, in a landscape where ancient civilisations once shaped daily life around balance, nature and simplicity


At the heart of the vision for the re- sort and spa lies Priene Houses — a collection of private residences that draw inspiration from antiquity while responding to the expectations of contemporary travellers. Named after the ancient city of


Priene, these houses reinterpret his- torical principles rather than repli- cate them. Set within a carefully land- scaped environment, Priene Houses are conceived not as hotel rooms but as individual homes. Architecture favours


proportion and restraint,


with clean lines, generous volumes and a material palette shaped by stone, wood and muted earth tones.


Te design avoids excess, allowing light, space and texture to define the experience. In total, 83 Priene Houses are or-


ganised into distinct concepts for families and adults, recognising that privacy means different


things to


different travellers. Family Priene Houses are designed to accommodate shared moments, with spacious lay- outs, multiple bedrooms and open liv- ing areas that encourage time spent together, indoors and out. Adult-only Priene Houses, reserved for guests aged 16 and over, offer a quieter alternative, prioritising seclusion, calm and uninterrupted time within a private setting. A defining feature of every Priene

House is its private heated pool, allowing guests to swim through- out the year, regardless of season. Tis is complemented by a private garden, sun terrace and cabana, transforming outdoor space into an extension of daily life rather than a visual backdrop. Indoors, expansive living areas and careful- ly selected amenities reinforce the sense of permanence, combin- ing holiday accommodation and private residence. Reflecting a more inclusive under-


standing of modern travel, Priene Houses are also pet-friendly, welcom- ing cats and dogs to stay alongside their owners. Tis detail signals a shift towards experiences that ac- commodate real lives rather than

temporary escapes — particularly for guests planning longer stays. Staying in Priene Houses comes


with a range of exclusive privileges designed to enhance comfort without intruding on privacy. Guests benefit from fast buggy service, priority res- ervations at a la carte restaurants and dedicated breakfast services, with separate venues arranged for adults and families. A refined Maxi Bar se- lection, privileged check-in and prior- ity spa reservations add further ease, allowing guests to move through the resort at their own pace. Beyond the houses, Akra Didim


offers a composed resort environ- ment, with dedicated beach areas for adults and families, and a dining scene shaped by seasonal produce and contemporary techniques. Yet the defining luxury of Priene Houses re- mains the freedom to withdraw, to ex- ist within one’s own space, away from crowds, schedules and expectations. For travellers seeking more than a


conventional resort stay, Priene Hous- es presents a considered alternative. Rooted in ancient principles of order and harmony, and adapted for mod- ern life, the houses offer a stay that feels personal, spacious and quietly distinctive, marking a new chapter on the Aegean coast when Akra Didim opens its doors in April 2026.
