Heritage

The barut Legacy

Thirty six rooms on the shore at Side, reached only by sea. That is where it began, in 1971. Fifty five years later the same family runs the hotels, and the shore is still the point.

Barut Hotels began with the Cennet Hotel: a small house on the Side shore that guests reached by boat, because the road had not yet arrived. Ali İhsan Barut and his family ran it themselves. The habits formed there, of knowing the guest by name, of setting the table properly, of looking after the people who work in the house, have not changed since.

Today the group keeps ten addresses on the Turkish Mediterranean, in Side, Lara and Didim: all inclusive family hotels, the Collection hotels, and the BAYOU villas. Each has its own character; all of them keep the same manner. What a guest finds at the door today is what the first guests found stepping off the boat: a family that is at home here, and glad you came.

A Family, Not a Chain

A Family, Not a Chain

Three generations of one family have built and run these hotels. Decisions are taken on the coast, by people who have walked every property, and the philosophy has been the same since 1971: a happy team makes a happy guest. It shows in the small things. The same faces at reception from one season to the next, a garden that is tended rather than installed, a kitchen that cooks the region's food because the family eats it too.

The Same Coast, Fifty Five Years On

The Same Coast, Fifty Five Years On

Barut has never left the Mediterranean. Every hotel stands on the Turkish coast between Antalya and Didim, on land the family chose and often waited for. The sponsorship of the Side excavations, the We Care All sustainability programme and the care taken with water, energy and waste are one idea: the coast is not a backdrop but a home, and is kept the way a home is.

A Mediterranean Destination

Side wears its history lightly. An ancient theatre and the Temple of Apollo stand among its streets, the beaches run either side of the promontory, and the whole of the Pamphylian coast opens out from the hotel gate.
