About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

This retreat offers a private, intimate space for rest, creative exploration, and reconnection. Designed for a maximum of two guests, it invites you into a slower rhythm of living—where you can step away from daily demands and return to yourself.
You will stay in a spacious top-floor suite within a large countryside home, surrounded by a three-acre garden. The environment is calm, natural, and lived-in—shared with a small, respectful household.
Privacy is deeply valued here. While the home is shared, your personal space and boundaries are fully respected, allowing you to feel both safe and at ease.
The retreat is animal-friendly, with three gentle and well-adjusted dogs living on the property. It is also a child-friendly space, home to a calm and respectful 9-year-old.
We are an LGBTQ+ friendly environment and welcome all identities with openness and respect. This is a space built on inclusivity, care, and mutual understanding.
This is not a hotel, but a warm, human space—where connection, presence, and authenticity are at the center of the experience.

Getting Here

Location icon Return Space, Dereköy, Bodrum/Muğla, Türkiye

Directions

The retreat is located in Dereköy, a peaceful village in Bodrum, Turkey.
The nearest airport is Milas–Bodrum Airport (BJV), approximately 45 minutes away by car. This is the main international and domestic airport serving the region, with direct flights from many European cities and frequent connections from Istanbul.
Alternatively, you can fly into Dalaman Airport (DLM), which is about 2.5–3 hours away by car.
From the airport, I personally provide transfer service, so you won’t need to arrange transportation. Once you arrive, you will be brought directly to the retreat space in Dereköy.
If you are already in Bodrum, local pickup can also be arranged.
