Check availability Official websiteKeyUrla Hotel is situated in Kuşçular Mahallesi on the Urla Peninsula in İzmir, Turkey. The property is conceived in the style of a traditional Anatolian village, with its own square and cypress-lined streets that structure the guest experience around village-like community spaces rather than typical hotel corridors.
The villas are scattered across the tranquil natural setting, surrounded by the region's extensive vineyards and integrated within the broader landscape of the peninsula. This approach creates privacy and connection to the natural environment while maintaining accessible common areas and dining facilities.
The Uzbaş Arboretum, established in 1996, comprises nearly 2,000 acres (approximately 800 hectares) and serves as the botanical foundation of KeyUrla's natural setting. The arboretum functions as a living museum featuring centuries-old trees and extensive collections of Mediterranean, tropical, and subtropical plant species sourced from around the world.
The arboretum's palm grove alone contains 52 different species and is a notable feature of the property. Greenhouses within the arboretum house several unique botanical specimens, allowing guests to experience diverse ecosystems within the resort landscape. Nature hiking trails connect the property to the arboretum's collections.
The Urla region has emerged as a significant wine-producing area, where a new generation of winemakers is reviving centuries-old traditions. The terroir is characterized by Mediterranean sun, Aegean winds, and Anatolian grape varieties, creating distinct regional wine character. The Urla wine route connects multiple working wineries offering tastings and direct engagement with local winemaking practices.
KeyUrla's position within this wine region allows guests direct access to vineyard landscapes, wine tastings, and the region's gastronomic heritage through dining experiences and organized wine activities.
