Avelina Cappadocia

In the heart of Cappadocia's otherworldly landscape of volcanic tuff formations and ancient cave churches, Avelina has created its most architecturally extraordinary property. Sixteen cave suites have been carved into the living rock of a natural fairy chimney formation, each featuring arched stone doorways, hand-painted Ottoman tilework, and private terraces overlooking the valley of a thousand chimneys. The resort operates its own fleet of private hot air balloons, offering exclusive dawn flights over the landscape as the sun rises behind the ancient citadel of Uçhisar. The hammam, carved from a single volcanic rock chamber, is one of the most atmospheric spa experiences in the world.
