Princes’ Palace

Hotel details

Just a short trip away from vibrant Istanbul lies Buyukada, the largest of the Princes Islands, and here sits Princes Place with 69 elegantly furnished rooms and suites with views across the sea towards the Turkish capital. Yet you could not be further away from Istanbul – the island is car free and peaceful after the beautiful chaos of Istanbul.

The hotel appears before you as you arrive on a yacht and each of the rooms is the epitome of sophisticated elegance with views across the glittering sea or the tranquil courtyard. Take a rainforest shower and sink into a king size bed – or if in a Cabana Suite just step right out on to the beach. And no stay is complete without some time in the Wellness Centre – ANIM – where nature is infused into every treatment using local, authentic ingredients.

Then you are ready for a trip to EMA’s dining room to experience mediterranean culinary delights served from midday to 11pm so you can dine at your leisure. Choose fresh meat and vegetables from local farmers or locally caught fish served with natural Turkish wine or non-alcoholic cocktails perhaps. And from April 2025 dine on the rooftop, under the moonlit sky and the shimmering light of Istanbul in the distance. Alternatively have a drink at the pool bar and enjoy dining at the Yacht Club Lounge which will transport you to the Turkish Riviera.

With its unique setting and location Princes Palace combines fabled Turkish hospitality with an incredible sense of place.
