Birdcage 33 Hotel.

Perched on a hillside overlooking Yalıkavak Marina, Birdcage 33 is a design-forward boutique retreat that avoids the typical resort formula. Originally a private summer residence, the property was reimagined by architect Ahmet Alataş and Deniz Galip Studio into an 11-room adults-only estate. The layout retains the intimacy of a personal home, with independent rooms featuring stone accents and terraces that face the Aegean. The aesthetic is strictly modern Mediterranean, favoring clean lines and privacy over sprawling amenities. At its heart is Lika, a restaurant and bar concept that anchors the social scene with a menu of global-meets-local flavors. It is a quiet, architectural hideaway for those who want proximity to the marina’s energy without the noise of a large-scale hotel.
