Oumu Beach House was founded in the sheltered cove of Selimiye — less a hotel than a coastal house you live inside. The building, designed by architect Fahrettin Aykut, draws on coastal towns: stairs, intermediate terraces, narrow passages and small squares that recall a little settlement. Comfort lives not in showy details, but in the small things of everyday life.
For Oumu, being Mediterranean is not a place but a matter of time. Here the true luxury is the ability to stretch time. Drawing on the silence of the cove and joining its rooted idea of refuge with the joy of the Mediterranean, Oumu Beach House does not describe Selimiye — it comes into being together with it.
