Take a bite out of Turkey and relax at the Ariana Sustainable Luxury Lodge, located atop the Uchisar Valley in the dream-like region of Cappadocia. This is not your typical lodge– suites at Ariana are lavishly decorated, peppered with warm jeweled tones, and handcrafted details everywhere. Each of the eleven suites is named after different Goddesses. Stay in the Kamrusepa Suite, named for the Goddess of Healing, Medicine, and Magic, or opt for the beautiful Arinnitti Suite, named after the Sun Goddess.

Not all suites at the Ariana Lodge were created equal. Some are duplexes, while there’s also a King Suite and a Loft Suite. However, no matter your suite, every guest will enjoy 100% Egyptian cotton 500 thread count white linens to rest upon. While you may be busy marveling at the interiors of this lodge, the outside is truly breathtaking as well. Guests can explore the land where the earliest cities in the world took shape.

Ariana’s Plum Restaurant is another highlight– dishes are prepared with farm-fresh local ingredients, and the menu is re-designed each season. The lodge also offers 24/7 room service, and each room houses a mini-fridge complete with complimentary local wine. Enjoy your morning coffee with a view of colorful hot air balloons soaring among the clouds. Hot air balloon rides are very popular over the valleys of Cappadocia; you should definitely try them!
