Turkey Wellness Retreat
Avsha Island, Sea of Marmara • 55-Room Beachfront Hotel • 5,000 m²
The old fades. The new is reborn. We extend life — not just for people, but for properties. Acquire a 55-room beachfront hotel and transform it into a premium wellness retreat with private beach, exceptional cuisine, and island serenity.
We provide the systems, technology, and know-how. The owner develops their own brand — designed together, built for this unique location.
Longevity Is Not Just About People
We extend life. We reconstruct premises. We give new life to projects.
The old building fades — but it doesn't die. Through thoughtful renovation and transformation, it's reborn as something beautiful, purposeful, and profitable. This is what Longevity Group Capital does: we take properties with proven demand and untapped potential, and we breathe new life into them.
Geography Dictates the Format
We always start with geography, logistics, and seasonality. The location tells us what kind of centre to build — and on Avsha Island, the answer is clear: relaxation, massage programs, and exceptional cuisine.
Ferry-Only Access
Avsha Island is accessible exclusively by ferry — 2.5-3 hours from Istanbul (IDO fast ferry). This natural filter creates exclusivity: guests who come here are committed to staying, not passing through. Perfect for multi-day retreat packages.
Small Island Community
Limited local population means limited medical workforce — no nurses, no specialized medical staff on the island. This dictates the format: surface-level wellness only. Massages, relaxation, meditation, exceptional cuisine. No para-medicine needed.
Seasonal Property (4→8 Months)
Currently operating June-September with 100% occupancy. Sea temperature reaches 25°C in summer. Season extension to 8 months through wellness retreats, corporate getaways, and off-season relaxation packages. No need for year-round — seasonality is the business model.
Island Exclusivity
Only ~15 hotels on the entire island. Secluded Beyazsaray Bay location (3 km from Avsha centre) — a private cove between rocky cliffs and turquoise waters. Natural monopoly position for wellness retreats.
Why This Format Works Here
Ferry-only access means guests commit to multi-day stays. Small island = no medical infrastructure needed. Fresh seafood everywhere = restaurant excellence is easy. Result: a "light" wellness concept with lower operational complexity, lower staffing costs, and strong margins. Massage therapists are seasonal hires. Package programs (7/14/21 days) maximize per-guest revenue. No kids programs needed due to seasonality. This is the smart, lean format.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is included in the $7M acquisition?
The sale includes the hotel buildings and the land (5,000 m²). The property comes with existing hotel operations, beach usage rights (government-owned beach, licensed to hotel), pier, and all on-site facilities. Adjacent state-owned land offers potential future expansion opportunities subject to negotiation.
Why this format — massages and relaxation, not medical wellness?
Geography dictates the format. Avsha Island is ferry-access only with a small local population — no medical staff infrastructure. We work with the location, not against it. Massage therapists can be brought in for the season. The island's natural beauty, exceptional seafood, and tranquil setting make it perfect for relaxation retreats. This is a "light" wellness concept with lower operational complexity and strong margins.
Why Turkey for a wellness investment?
Turkey is the world's 4th most-visited country (56M visitors/year) and a top-5 medical tourism destination globally. Avsha Island in the Sea of Marmara offers a mild Mediterranean climate, stunning natural beauty, and significantly lower operating costs vs. Mediterranean competitors (Spain, Italy, Greece). Just 2.5-3 hours by IDO ferry from Istanbul (16M+ population), it combines accessibility with island exclusivity.
The hotel only operates 4 months — isn't that a risk?
It's actually an opportunity. The current owner deliberately operates only June-September because summer-only hotel revenue is sufficient for them. 100% occupancy during these months validates strong demand. By adding wellness retreat packages and off-season programs, we project extending operations to 8 months per year, potentially tripling revenue.
What about the beach and pier rights?
The beach is state-owned, but the hotel holds established usage rights with a small annual fee. There have been no restrictions to date. The pier, sun loungers, cafe, and water sports facilities are all part of the hotel's operations.
Will the property have your brand?
No. We don't impose our brand. We provide the technology, systems, SOPs, staff training, and consulting expertise. The property will have its own unique brand identity, developed together with the owner — custom positioning designed specifically for this location and its character.
How liquid is this investment?
Illiquid until exit (7-10 years). Secondary transfers allowed with GP approval, but no active secondary market. Real estate provides asset-backed downside protection — the land alone is valued at a significant portion of the investment.
What are the tax implications?
SPV domiciled in ADGM (tax-neutral jurisdiction). Turkish corporate tax is 25%. Various bilateral tax treaties may apply depending on investor jurisdiction. Consult your tax advisor. Annual reporting provided.
Risk Factors & Mitigation
Renovation timeline could extend beyond projected 6 months
Regulatory changes in Turkey regarding beach concession rights
Seasonal dependency — need to build year-round demand through wellness packages
Currency risk (TRY-based costs, USD investor returns)
Competition from established Turkish wellness resorts (Bodrum, Antalya)
Economic/geopolitical factors affecting Turkish tourism demand
Mitigation: SPV structure isolates risk per asset. Existing operations provide cash flow from Day 1. Turkish cost advantage improves margin resilience. Simplified wellness format (no medical staff required) reduces operational risk. Seasonal hiring model keeps fixed costs low.
