About the residency
Close yet secluded
The property is a five-minute drive from the traditional village of Dağbelen, and half an hour from Bodrum city center. The property is situated on the Leleg road, a crucial route for trade and cultural exchange between the ancient civilizations of the Aegean and Mediterranean regions.
A place steeped in history
DAA Studios are located on a secluded 15-acre farm property in the hills of the Bodrum peninsula, in southwestern Turkey. The ancient city of Bodrum was once home to the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Living in harmony with nature
Situated between the mountains and the forest, we are an off-the-grid property committed to sustainability. We produce our own solar electricity, and draw water from an on-campus well. We support local businesses and choose environmentally friendly products whenever possible.
