This is where regeneration travel comes into play. It seeks to restore ecosystems, empower local communities, and foster cultural exchange. It transforms travel into a force for positive change – leaving destinations better than they were, while offering travellers profound, life-enriching experience.
This means luxury is no longer about excess or opulence, it’s now quiet, understated, and intentional. From thoughtful craftsmanship to unpretentious, curated experiences. All about creating deeper connections.
Situated in the breathtaking landscape of Uludağ — an extinct volcano and biodiversity hotspot — our approach honours the mountain as its home. By embracing the seasons as the catalyst, we crafted a destination that thrives year-round with each season offering unique, nature-driven experiences — from bird watching in spring to foraging in autumn. The unfolding rhythms of Uludağ guide our offerings, inviting guests to slow down.
By integrating sustainable practices and circularity, our approach safeguards the local ecosystem and nurtures the local economy. Here taste meets energy for sophisticated and harmonious living. From rooms crafted with beautiful natural materials and services shaped by the unique character of our people to food that is honest, flavorful and original. We crafted the hotel as a platform for social regeneration as much as environmental, embedding it within the social fabric of Uludağ. An authentically Anatolian mountain retreat, rooted in the ethos of barefoot luxury, merging elemental simplicity with artful curation
We crafted this symbol to represent the “joy of every season” reimagining its use year-round by blending tradition and innovation. From chestnut-inspired culinary delights to wellness offerings like essential oils and scented candles. Every detail at Ceylan Splend’Or connects guests to the essence of Uludağ, grounding them in nature and its timeless stories.
Ozan adds that: “selecting the right partner from Marriott International’s extensive list…was crucial. Our collaboration with Blacksheep not only inspired us throughout the process, but does so everyday. It opened up new horizons and was an absolute pleasure”.
At Blacksheep London, we share this vision. The strategic and creative collaboration was more than a project, shaped by a collective effort to ensure that Ceylan Splend’Or not only preserves Uludağ but also revitalises it for future generations. It was about building something authentic and timeless.
