Hotel Okura To Open Luxury Cappadocia Resort In 2028
KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) -- Hotel Okura Co Ltd, a global Japanese hotel operator, has announced that the Hotel Okura Thermal Resort & Spa Cappadocia is scheduled to open in 2028 in the historic village of Mustafapaşa in the Cappadocia region of Türkiye.
Building on the initial Okura Spa & Resort Cappadocia project announced in June 2015, the development is moving forward in collaboration with Hotel Okura's new partner, KK Universal, a real estate and hospitality investment group headquartered in Türkiye.
The site has been expanded to create a luxury resort. The new plans feature premier thermal and wellness facilities that blend Okura's signature omotenashi (Japanese-style hospitality) with the unique cultural heritage of the Cappadocia region.
On May 22, Hotel Okura signed a hotel management contract with Oluşum Grubu Gayrimenkul Yatırımları ve İnşaat Ticaret A.Ş., a hotel operating company backed by KK Universal.
In a statement, the hotel said the property will be operated by Okura Saraylı Hotel Management A.Ş., a joint venture established in February 2015 between Hotel Okura Co Ltd and local partners Saraylı Turizm A.Ş. and MSIC Gayrimenkul Yatırım ve Danışmanlık Ticaret Ltd Şti.
According to Hotel Okura, the resort will comprise four buildings, including preserved historic stone structures and newly constructed facilities, three of which are connected by underground passages.
The design of the property will harmonise with Mustafapaşa's distinctive charm and architectural character, offering guests an authentic experience infused with Okura's refined aesthetic and omotenashi hospitality.
The resort will also showcase Türkiye's renowned thermal culture through comprehensive wellness experiences, featuring a 3,500-square-metre spa and wellness centre with thermal baths, as well as indoor and outdoor pools.
The dining experience will also feature three venues, including the internationally acclaimed teppanyaki restaurant "Sazanka", and an all-day dining establishment.
