BIJAL, Gürok Group’s ultra-luxury brand in Antalya Manavgat, has achieved a perfect 10 out of 10 rating from users of ETS Tur, one of Türkiye’s leading travel platforms, ranking second among the highest-rated tourism properties in the country.
Gürok Group has added another achievement to its track record of success with its innovative approach that continues to make a difference in the tourism industry. BIJAL, the Group’s Antalya-based brand, received a perfect score of 10 out of 10 in ETS Tur user ratings, earning second place among Türkiye’s highest-rated tourism properties.
Opened in the summer of 2023 with an investment of USD 20 million in the Sorgun area of Manavgat, BIJAL brings Gürok Group’s global ultra-luxury hospitality experience to Türkiye as the Mediterranean’s first villa hotel. Comprising 19 private villas, each with its own garden and pool, the property offers one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom villa options, exceptional gastronomic experiences, a beachfront location, SPA & Wellness facilities, and an atmosphere immersed in nature, providing guests with a truly personalized stay.
A Unique Concept
Designed as a one-of-a-kind concept in the ultra-luxury segment, BIJAL was envisioned as an exclusive lifestyle club where people who share refined tastes and a distinctive vision of life come together. Set in the heart of nature, its private villas offer guests a tranquil retreat where they can completely disconnect from the outside world, while creating an exclusive summer-club atmosphere where warmth meets elegance. With this distinctive approach, BIJAL goes beyond being simply a luxury holiday experience, emerging as a new-generation destination that offers a sense of belonging and a unique lifestyle.
“Our priority is to create sustainable value”
Commenting on BIJAL’s perfect score from its guests, Gürok Group Vice President of the Board Esin Güral Argat said:
“At Gürok Group, creating sustainable value in tourism is one of our top priorities. Across all our properties, we embrace a comprehensive sustainability vision that encompasses environmentally responsible practices, renewable energy, programs to protect natural life, and responsible consumption. Creating a difference in the ultra-luxury segment is possible not only through physical investment, but also by adopting an innovative perspective in every detail of the guest experience. BIJAL’s perfect score from our guests is a tangible reflection of precisely this approach. With our strong brands and innovative vision, we will continue to expand our contribution to Türkiye’s tourism industry.”
