ABOUT YAZZ COLLECTIVE
Yazz Collective is like a cool beach club and a boutique hotel had a baby. It’s got that effortlessly chic, Instagram-worthy aesthetic—think sleek wood decks, earthy tones, palm trees, and lounge beds straight out of a magazine. The whole place is built into the landscape, so it feels natural, secluded, and incredibly peaceful.

Guests can claim their own little pool for the day, making it feel like a semi-private oasis. It’s the perfect mix of exclusivity and social space.

BREAKFAST AT YAZZ COLLECTIVE
Breakfast at Yazz is usually included in the room rate and it truly is exceptional. Imagine a full table spread right on the beach, sun shining, waves in the background—pure bliss. Plates of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and herbs sit next to creamy cheeses, olives, and warm, crusty simit. There’s local honey dripping off the comb, homemade jams, and the fluffiest menemen (Turkish-style scrambled eggs) I’ve ever had. A glass of strong Turkish tea in hand, feet in the sand, and nowhere to be but right here.
LOCATION OF YAZZ COLLECTIVE
Yazz Collective sits in Pınaraltı Bay, a secluded slice of paradise along the Fethiye coast, only accessible by boat. The moment you pull in, you’re surrounded by towering rock formations that make the place feel like a secret cove somewhere in Thailand. The water is next-level turquoise—so clear you can see straight to the bottom. Instead of sand, the beach is covered in smooth pebbles, which somehow makes it feel even more untouched. There’s no rush here, no noise, just the sound of the waves and the occasional boat passing by. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to put your phone away and just take it all in.
WHEN IS BEST TIME TO VISIT TURKISH RIVIERA?
The best time to visit the Turkish Riviera depends on what you’re looking for, but if you want warm weather without the intense summer crowds, October is a dream. The sea is still warm from the summer heat, and temperatures can still hit 30°C, making it perfect for beach days and boat trips, all while enjoying a more peaceful atmosphere. Spring, especially April and May, can be beautiful too, with wildflowers blooming and milder temperatures, but you’ll want to keep in mind that rain is more common during these months, and the sea might still be a bit chilly for swimming. If you’re after peak summer energy, June to September is when the coast is buzzing, but for a mix of warmth, tranquility, and fewer crowds, October is hard to beat.
