Welcome to Shanti Garden

These days finding a quiet and nourishing space to explore who you are is not easy. Shanti garden aims to provide such a space for people of all nationalities, creeds and backgrounds, while preserving the dramatic natural beauty of the Kabak Valley

Kabak Valley

The Kabak Valley is a unique corner of undiscovered natural beauty in Turkey. Completely unscathed by the forages of mass tourism along Turkey`s azure coastline, Kabak, a protected natural site, offers you the perfect environment for a retreat. A haven for trekkers, alternative lifestylers and yogis alike, you can choose to mingle with the like-minded or wallow in the silence, inhale the pure forest air and dedicate your time to yourself.

Welcome to the Kabak Valley
An undiscovered gem on the Turkish riviera...

Imagine waking up to the sound of surf in the bay and the fresh smell of pine wafting through the reedroof overhead. Rolling slowly over on your handmade village mattress you pull back your mosquito net, before making your way through the lush green garden to breakfast. As you munch on homemade bread and fresh village eggs, you stare at the beautiful, mostly empty Gemile bay and realise that you are somewhere very very different.
