Cappadocia Cave Resort 

On a clear day you can see forever

Panoramic vistas and a spa carved into the hillside are the headline acts at this Cappadocia cave hotel.

Occupying a complex of caves and stone buildings on the steep slopes below Uchisar Castle, this small hotel has horizon-busting views from every corner. You can have a massage overlooking Cappadocia’s mystical landscapes at the award-winning cave spa, whose soul-soothing delights also include salt, steam and hay rooms. You can wake up with breakfast on a sprawling terrace overlooking the sunrise and a rosy sky studded with hot-air balloons. Or you could gaze out at the breathtaking scenery from the outdoor pool, a welcome refuge on hotter days.

Why we love Cappadocia Cave Resort

  • With its one-of-a-kind cave location, a massage, swim or hammam session in the gorgeous spa is sure to leave you feeling relaxed.

  • Thanks to the elevated setting on the northern edge of Uchisar, there are eye-popping scenic vistas from almost every part of the hotel.

  • There’s an authentic local flavour to many of the dishes at the restaurant, from Anatolian cheese platters to lamb shanks with quince puree.

  • There are so many ways to get out and explore the area, from horse-riding adventures and balloon rides to ATV tours and guided walks.

Wide-angle vistas over Cappadocia’s extraordinary scenery are a memorable backdrop for menus that mix up Anatolian specialities – such as grills and aubergine casserole – with dishes from France, Italy, India and Japan. The breakfast buffet is made for leisurely starts, whether you’re a fan of crusty bread with an array of local cheeses, a pastry-loving grazer or can’t live without your morning omelette.
