Priene Houses, designed to stay


Opening in April 2026, Akra Didim resort 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 this vision 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 historical principles rather than replicate them. Set within a carefully landscaped 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. The design avoids excess, allowing light, space and texture to define the experience. In total, 83 Priene Houses are


organised 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 layouts, multiple bedrooms and open living 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 throughout the year, regardless of season. This 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 carefully selected amenities reinforce the sense of permanence, combining holiday accommodation and private residence. Reflecting a more inclusive


understanding of modern travel, Priene Houses are also pet-friendly, welcoming cats and dogs to stay alongside their owners. This detail signals a shift towards experiences that accommodate 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 reservations at a la carte restaurants and dedicated breakfast services, with separate venues arranged for adults and families. A refined Maxi Bar selection, privileged check-in and priority 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 environment, 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 remains the freedom to withdraw, to exist within one’s own space, away from crowds, schedules and expectations. For travellers seeking more


than a conventional resort stay, Priene Houses present a considered alternative. Rooted in ancient principles of order and harmony, and adapted for modern life, they 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.
