Our Philosophy

Restore Where You Belong

A way of living shaped by nature, place and a more considered relationship with time.

What We Believe

Soulsetters is built around a simple belief: hospitality should adapt to nature, not the other way around.

Across each destination, architecture follows the land, experiences grow from local culture, and time is allowed to move at a different pace. What connects the collection is not a single design formula, but a shared respect for place, privacy and meaningful human connection.

Restore Where You Belong is not an invitation to escape life. It is an invitation to return to a more natural rhythm within it.

What Guides Us

Four Principles

Led by Nature

Nature is not treated as a backdrop. It determines how each destination is designed, built and experienced. Existing contours, trees, rocks and coastlines guide the architecture, allowing the landscape to remain the defining presence.

Rooted in Place

Each destination is shaped by the culture, materials and traditions of its surroundings. From Mediterranean stone architecture and the Lycian Way to Dastar weaving and regional food culture, place is not referenced as a theme. It is part of everyday life.

Made for Connection

Soulsetters creates space for connection: with nature, with local culture, with other people and with one's own pace. Privacy, open-air living and thoughtfully scaled environments allow each stay to feel personal rather than programmed.

Created with Care

Care is reflected in the decisions that shape each destination, from low-density development and local sourcing to the preservation of natural features and support for regional producers and craftspeople.

Architecture That Belongs

At Soulsetters, protecting the Mediterranean landscape begins with resisting the temptation to reshape it. Architecture does not impose on its surroundings; it belongs to them.

Natural stone, solid timber and open-air living spaces are integrated into the existing terrain. Rocks, roots and mature trees are preserved and incorporated into the design, while the coastline remains in its natural rocky state.

The result is not architecture placed in nature, but architecture shaped by it.

“For us, luxury is measured not by how much we build, but by how much we preserve.”
The Soulsetters Philosophy
Responsibility

Designed to Preserve

Sustainability is not a separate initiative at Soulsetters. It is a structural principle that shapes how our destinations are designed, operated and experienced.

Across Perdue, Nautical and Rups in Faralya, low-density development allows the landscape to remain the central feature. Architecture follows the existing contours of the land, while natural rock formations, mature trees and the original shoreline are preserved wherever possible.

Our approach continues through composting, seasonal gardens, beehives, olive trees, local sourcing and long-term relationships with regional producers and craftspeople. Protecting the landscape also means supporting the traditions and communities that give it meaning.

Low-Density Development

Nearly 20 acres across Perdue, Nautical and Rups, with only 36 rooms across the two hotels.

Architecture That Follows the Land

Buildings are positioned around existing contours, rock formations and mature trees rather than reshaping the terrain.

From the Land

Seasonal gardens, olive trees, beehives, free-range chickens and composting support a closer relationship between the landscape and the kitchen.

Local Craft and Community

Regional producers, artisans and traditions such as Dastar weaving remain part of the Soulsetters experience.

Living with the Land

A Landscape That Feeds the Table

The connection between the land and the kitchen is part of everyday life across Soulsetters. Seasonal vegetables and herbs, fresh eggs, honey and olives bring the rhythm of the landscape into the dining experience.

Local sourcing and long-term relationships with producers allow the cuisine to remain connected to the region rather than simply inspired by it.

Culture & Community

Keeping Local Knowledge Alive

Protecting a place also means protecting the knowledge, traditions and communities that have shaped it. Soulsetters works with local producers and regional artisans, while experiences such as Dastar weaving bring guests closer to living cultural practices.

These traditions are not presented as decoration. They remain active forms of making, learning and exchange, carried forward through continued practice.

Our Commitment

More Preserved. More Meaningful.

For Soulsetters, progress does not mean building more. It means creating more thoughtful ways to experience what is already there.

Our responsibility is to ensure that the landscapes, traditions and identity of Türkiye's southwest coast continue to shape every destination and remain present for generations to come.
