Gaia by the Sea
Eleven-suite adults-only design hideaway on the Şifne shore
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
An adults-only boutique of just eleven suites on the calm Şifne seafront, each with its own thermal pool and an interior of organic forms, weathered wood, rope and linen rather than lobby-gold. Vetted into the Mr & Mrs Smith collection, it trades the beach-club circuit for slow mornings, an excellent breakfast and a seafront restaurant (Ritüel). It is the room worth booking on this side of the peninsula.
