Tucked away in the serene neighbourhood of Kanlıca in Istanbul's Asian side, there lies this yalı (Ottoman-style summer mansion), transformed into a charming hotel with 15 rooms and suites offering sweeping views of the Bosphorus. This privileged location makes A’jia a very popular venue for private events and weddings with a capacity of up to 500 guests. The in-house restaurant offers Turkish mezes along with a Mediterranean-inspired menu.
TIME OUT TIP: Before you leave, make sure to have a Bosphorus cruise with a luxury yacht managed by the hotel, to spot more traditional yalıs on the shores of the Bosphorus.
