SHERWOOD DREAMS RESORT
Sherwood Dreams Resort, located in Belek, is a project where every square meter was utilized to create highly functional and integrated outdoor spaces within a limited area. A long wooden bridge spanning the large central pool adds both functional connectivity and visual richness to the design.
An amphitheater situated at the lower level is complemented by a food court, cafe house, and two à la carte restaurants at the upper level, creating a cohesive open-air layout. The design was enhanced with PalmArt artificial rock panels and Palmex tropical thatch roofing, contributing to the project’s thematic identity.
The central concept of the project is inspired by the Caretta caretta, an iconic marine species of Belek’s coasts. The swimming pool’s form reflects the turtle's silhouette, while its shell is represented through custom-designed patterns at the pool’s base—adding both narrative depth and visual originality to the resort landscape.
