Wellness Resort Opens In Kaplankaya

Canyon Ranch has been a name in the United States for nearly 40 years that is synonymous with exceptional health and wellness. The brand’s very first destination outside of the US opened last month in Turkey. An ideal summer destination for wellness enthusiasts and anyone who wants a rejuvenating Mediterranean getaway, Canyon Ranch Wellness Resort at Kaplankaya is located on the shores of the Aegean Sea, just a short distance from Bodrum.

This brand-new property on the Turkish Riviera is the ultimate destination spa and wellness retreat, ideal for a summer escape from the GCC thanks to its blissful climate and short flight time. It sets a new standard with an unsurpassed experience in a world that celebrates health and vitality as a source of personal discovery, energy and empowerment. No aspect has been overlooked at the resort, which offers guests an authentic Mediterranean experience replete with unrivalled wellness: state-of-the-art fitness facilities; a sprawling 9,987-sq m spa; healthy cuisine at two unique restaurants made from local, sustainable ingredients; indoor and outdoor activities to stimulate the body and mind; and a vast menu of packages to suit interests such as beauty, fitness, healing and overall well-being.

Boasting some of the world’s best exercise professionals, who can help guests build and establish routines and design tailor-made programmes to use at home, an extensive menu of fitness and movement services provides comprehensive assessments for individual guests. The Musculoskeletal Issues therapy is ideal for an overall body treatment session, and includes state-of-the-art therapies to treat body pain in areas such as the shoulders and lower back, as well as ankle instability.

Enticing spa treatments by highly qualified practitioners also beckon, from skin care and nail services to restorative massage and bodywork, and include Eastern and Western treatments that are sure to see results amid an atmosphere of serenity and healing. Inspired by the country’s traditional wellness practices, the Authentic Turkish Mud Experience, a Canyon Ranch signature, offers cleansing in an ornately tiled steam chamber before rare, locally sourced muds are used to purify the skin, and a full-body massage completes the 100-minute session to achieve complete relaxation.

Between experiencing Canyon Ranch’s acclaimed well-being, guests will find a resort comprised of 141 guest rooms and suites in Mediterranean style, each well-appointed with marble bathrooms and organic Turkish linens, and designed to complement the magnificent natural surroundings, with Ridge Rooms boasting Aegean views and spread across the scenic grounds to evoke the feel of a bucolic Mediterranean village.

The villas offer some of the most prestigious accommodation, and are an ideal option for families from the GCC region thanks to spacious layouts, amenities that leave guests wanting for nothing, and the ultimate in privacy. Each of these exclusive villas, ranging from 175 sq m to 250 sq m in size, features a living/entertaining area with a cosy fireplace, a fully furnished kitchen, and a private swimming pool and terrace. Additionally, guests receive access to all resort amenities, such as breakfast, lunch and dinner, unlimited fitness classes, access to all spa and fitness facilities, a Personal Program Advisor, and a €160 ($175) allowance per day per person to use towards the spa, sport and integrative health & wellness service of their choice.
