A beautiful and secluded venue, right in the middle of nature, surrounded by stunning scenery - mountain views, sunsets during the evening yoga practice and dinner. The yoga, swimming pool and dining areas overlook the turquoise coastline, it is breathtaking!

Each day there will be 2 yoga classes, meditation, pranayama, 3 delicious vegetarian meals, downtime for reading, sunbathing, excursions, relaxing, swimming, beach time, chatting, reading & napping etc.

Located on the Southern coast of Turkey, 10m from Fetihe Marina and 24m from Dalaman airport. Suleyman’s Garden itself is a very beautiful, small  traditional farm with terraced vegetable fields, orchards and magnificent gardens, with stunning sea views. The local owners grow all their own organic vegetables and fruit for the kitchen to make the truly delicious meals. Wherever you  walk amongst the retreat centre you will see things growing for the meals they will be cooking for you.

The atmosphere is very relaxed and peaceful. Welcome to guests coming alone or with friends. You will be well taken care of by Charli  and the retreat hosts Ian and Suleyman.

During the day if you are not adventuring out on an excursion, you can spend the day at the retreat centre, by the pool, lounging in the cushioned seating areas, having a massage or  head off 5 minutes down the track to the rocky swimming cove, with big sunbather-friendly slabs of white rock where you can swim and snorkel.  Kabak beach is an hours walk away along a beautiful coastal path, or 15 minutes away by car or bus. There is also an excellent resident massage therapist available on site.

There will be excursions available to nearby attractions, including the firm favourite -  a boat trip sailing along the stunning undeveloped coastline to a beautiful isolated beach for swimming, only accessible by boat, with a delicious lunch cooked and served on board. For the adventurous, nearby Olu Deniz , one of the most beautiful beaches in Turkey, is the centre for world-class parascending. Shopping or sight seeing trips can also be arranged, as can a trip to the Turkish baths. Several lovely beaches are within 10 – 15 minutes driving distance. (or walk five minutes to the nearby rocky cove).

The cabins have verandas shaded by vines and flowers, with either sea or garden views. One of the wooden houses has a private seating area with a garden view and the sea view in the distance, the rooms have verandas or balconies with garden or sea views. 

The accommodation is a mix of en-suite or shared bathroom facilities with ample toilets, showers and hot water. Rooms will be allocated on a first come first served basis, unless a specific type of room is requested. There is also an additional charge for ensuite facilities. £50 for twin sharing and £100 for single occupancy.

Cabins & Wooden Houses
The cabins are spread amongst the trees, giving you the sense of privacy of your home. The sea views are just a few steps in between the trees. These wooden bungalows are designed and furnished in a simple traditional manner for your comfort. These rooms have shared bathroom facilities and can accommodate from one to three persons. There are only 2 twin cabins. the rest are doubles.

Standard Rooms

Looking for something a bit less rustic? You may choose to stay in these ensuite rooms which are more modern but internally designed in a traditional way. You are still in the Suleyman’s green garden and perhaps closer to the sea views. All the rooms are en-suite, twin or double.

Relaxation Areas
There are various quiet shady nooks with cushions and seating areas, perfect for curling up with book and relaxing.

The retreat is set within the farm itself and surrounded by gardens and flowers with an abundance of shade and dappled sunlight with plenty of hidden corners for  those  seeking privacy, or conversely relax in the shade on our ” kiosk” (the traditional low seating platform of Turkey) - quiet shady nooks with cusions and seating areas - perfect for socializing with your fellow  guests, curling up with a good book or just be in peace .

Pool
There is a small pool with views of the sea, perfect for a refreshing dip between sunbathing or after a day exploring.

Yoga Shala
There are 2 yoga shalas at Suleymans Garden, both with views of the stunning ocean and distant islands. They are both covered with a roof, but the sides are open so you can have that sense of practicing outside but protected from the sun. The yoga shalas are fully equipped with mats, belts, blocks, bolsters and blankets.

Food
The diet during the week will be vegetarian, with chicken or fish offered twice during the week if you would like that. Most of the produce is grown on site at Suleymans Garden so you will have that local, home grown experience, with meals full of nourishment and made with love.
