KeyUrla is a vineyard hotel in the Kuşçular district of Urla, outside İzmir, among the Aegean vines. The estate makes its own wine, and the hotel keeps a wine cellar where guests can see where the bottles are laid down. There are 24 villas in four categories. An Urla Restaurant & Bar cooks from the local land, there is an outdoor infinity pool, and UVA Wellness has a wellness area and a fitness centre. The hotel takes guests over the age of 12 only, so it suits couples and friends travelling together rather than young families. Urla itself has become one of the most talked-about places to eat in Türkiye, with several restaurants in the MICHELIN Guide close by, which makes KeyUrla a good base for a few days of long lunches, wine tastings and drives along the coast. From here the journey continues to Ephesus and on south, so it also works well as the first stop on the way from Istanbul to the Turquoise Coast and Cappadocia.
