Gaia By The Sea

- unique experience - hot private thermal pool at night overlooking the sea. - amazing staff (prolongation of the stay was possible without any hustle, late checkout because our flight was delayed) - quiet getaway

We have been to their other hotel too as Gaia in Alacati is always the best choice, they never let you down. Especially Zeynep, Merve and Baris was very welcoming and helpful, loved their energy, they made our holiday even better.

The breakfast was exceptional, with many small plates full of Turkish delights. The staff were always very accommodating and kind, and our room was both comfortable and beautifully designed. We really loved the overall look and style of the hotel!

The staff, the facilities

Overall vibe and breakfast.

A peaceful and stylish stay right on the Aegean Coast 🌊 My husband and I stayed at Gaia by the Sea in Çeşme, İzmir for a week and truly enjoyed every moment. The hotel is located right by the sea, with its own pier and beach front—ideal for a relaxing holiday. The breakfast, which is included in the rate, was very good and a lovely way to start the day. The rooms were beautifully designed in calm beige tones, exceptionally clean, and well thought-out. We especially appreciated the king-size bed, high-quality sheets, towels, and peshtemals—all very comfortable. We had requested two ergonomic pillows in advance, and they kindly made sure to have them ready for us. The staff were kind and welcoming throughout our stay. Special thanks to Zeynep Hanım, who responded promptly to all our messages via Booking.com. Everyone—from the night and day receptionists to the bar and kitchen crew and housekeeping team—was helpful and warm. Even the owner was present and checked in with us personally a couple of times, which added a nice personal touch. While the price is on the higher end by Turkish standards for a bed & breakfast, the overall experience made it worthwhile. We definitely recommend Gaia by the Sea for a calm, elegant, and sea-side getaway. 🌅

Staff attitude and service.

The place is beautiful, elegant, and very quiet. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the service is truly excellent. Every detail is well taken care of from the moment you arrive until you leave. Definitely a place worth visiting again.

It was so private! We loved it. The location is about 15 min to cesme or alacati, but we loved being by the water and the little private beach. We loved having our own thermal bath. It was my fav part. The food was amazing. Best food we have had so far in Turkey - fresh clean and unexpected flavors. Amazing hospitality. They helped my bf arrange flowers and wine to surprise me.

My wife and I stayed here for a few days, along with some friends as we were all in the area for a wedding. I couldn’t recommend it more: the size of the property is ideal at just 11 units (ie MAXIMUM 22 guests at a time); if you don’t have children the adults only policy ensures perfect peace and quiet; the staff are wonderful; and the setting is extremely relaxing. The breakfast is delicious and the on site restaurant serves some phenomenal dishes. Some reviews noted the price for dinner — indeed, not “cheap” but for the level of cuisine it’s truly not a bad deal at all (though not formally awarded — yet — the food is clearly Michelin level and there are fancy places in town you’ll pay close to this). So if you’re there, do dinner one night — you’ll be impressed. Again, super accommodating staff — my wife and I had a late flight for which we only needed to leave for the airport at 5pm. Despite a noon check out we were given use of another room free of charge so we could still spend the day swimming and then shower and change before our flight. This made a huge difference to the last day.

Great rooms, great breakfast, limited choice but very high quality. The rooms are very clean, they remove the large rugs to clean them for each guest, it's the first time I've seen this so regularly in a hotel! The staff is very friendly, the hotel owner attentive to customer comfort.

We stayed there for 6 nights with 6-months-pregnant wife and our cat. Entire staff was very friendly and helpful and they made everything to make us feel comfortable.

Absolutely beautiful hotel, we were greeting by a warm welcome, very friendly, polite & helpful staff. We had the sea view suite which was exceptional. The thermal pool was amazing. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. 5 minutes away to Alacati downtown by car, has a private beach, fancy restaurant luv it See u next time

Great stay. Staff super attentive and very careful to anticipate our every need. Location spectacular as were the facilities. Breakfast great! Highlight of our trip in Turkey!

What a perfect place for the end of the season. From the heated private pools to the great breakfast and amazing staff, we loved it. Nice dinner option in town was Avula. Very friendly dogs on the property. We felt truly at home and will come back soon

The incredibly well curated style and furniture and obviously warm thermal pool in each room

Relaxed atmosphere and great staff. They help you with everything.
