Aksoy Ventures (former title: Aksoy Holding) laid the foundations of the investment by acquiring the 31 acres (126,000 m2) peninsula at the heart of Tilkicik Bay situated in Yalıkavak, Bodrum in 2013 with the aim of investing in the continually developing hospitality and residential sector in Bodrum. World-renowned South African architectural firm SAOTA, specialized in sophisticated villas and out
door living, designed the project on the peninsula which already comprises 75 ultra-luxury private units. Branded by the most luxurious hotel, resort and residence brand; The Ritz-Carlton Residences, the project introduces the legendary service approach of The Ritz-Carlton to its residents. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Bodrum features the first stand-alone residence project of the group in Europe. Aksoy Ventures is well recognized and appreciated by the establishment and design of the Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus Hotel, which opened for business in 1992 and permanently enriched Istanbul with its contemporary and ahead-of-its-time architecture. More recent ambition of Aksoy Ventures has been to give Bodrum, Turkey’s most up-beat and authentic summer and touristic resort, a new source of inspiration with The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Bodrum project.
