XO Cape Arnna Hotel is Now Open
May 2025
Located along the scenic coast of Fethiye, surrounded by the region’s natural beauty, XO Cape Arnna Hotel has officially opened its doors to guests. The comprehensive design and implementation process, carried out by TTds over the past four years, merges the unique character of the Mediterranean with a contemporary approach to architecture and landscape design.
The entire site plan and landscape architecture were meticulously crafted by the TTds team. Promenades lined with olive trees, unique coastal structures, aromatic gardens, water features, and open-space scenarios arranged on varying levels all come together to offer guests a multi-layered spatial experience.
XO Cape Arnna stands out not only as a hospitality facility but also with its approach that highlights the cultural and ecological values of the region. Inspired by the legacy of the Luwians, the hotel’s spatial composition brings together Mediterranean aesthetics and contemporary living standards in a seamless unity.
With its opening, XO Cape Arnna Hotel is expected to contribute significantly to the tourism potential of the region, and it now takes its place among TTds’s distinguished international projects.
Design Approach
The primary goal of the project was to preserve the natural topography and character of the Mediterranean while harmonizing these values with the dynamics of modern living. The TTds team integrated spatial narratives inspired by Luwian civilization, olive tree promenades along the coast, and structures built using local materials to add historical and ecological depth to the hotel’s design.
Spatial Experience
Every area within the hotel layout was detailed to offer a micro-experience of its own. Aromatic gardens, natural stone pathways, sunken seating areas, pergolas providing shade, and water features enable visitors to establish a fluid connection between daily life and nature. The coastal structures stand out with their functional diversity: bars catering to various age groups, multipurpose terraces, and social gathering zones provide flexible scenarios for interaction and leisure.
Landscape Design
The olive tree was positioned as the central element emphasizing the identity of the Mediterranean. Gardens composed of aromatic species and native plants offer both a visual and sensory experience. In this sustainability-oriented approach, priorities included water management, planting compatible with the local flora, and ensuring ecological continuity.
