Turkish traditions and local produce goes through all operations at Club Big Blue Suites Hotel

In the heart of Alanya, CLUB BIG BLUE SUITES HOTEL delivers more than just resort comfort—it provides guests with a deeply immersive culinary and cultural journey. Certified by the Culinary Heritage network, this family-friendly hotel seamlessly blends regional traditions, sustainability, and modern guest education, proving that hospitality can honor both the past and the planet.

Fresh, Local, and Close to Home

The hotel's dedication to local sourcing is unmatched—over 90% of ingredients are sourced from regional farms, including bananas, avocados, and vegetables grown on the owner’s own land. Seasonal menus reflect the rhythms of Turkish agriculture, giving guests a true taste of the region's bounty.

This commitment goes hand-in-hand with a zero-waste philosophy. Thoughtful buffet strategies like small portion serving, along with daily food donations to local animal shelters, demonstrate a practical and proactive approach to sustainability.

Authenticity on Full Display

But it’s not just a spectacle—it's a learning opportunity. Guests can read about each dish’s Turkish name, origin, ingredients, and allergens thanks to multilingual leaflets and QR codes, fostering both transparency and cultural appreciation.

Innovating with Intention

While rooted in tradition, the culinary team at CLUB BIG BLUE SUITES HOTEL brings a touch of modern innovation to the table. Visual presentation, guest interaction, and multilingual storytelling transform meals into interactive cultural exchanges.

Inclusive and Engaging for All Ages

What sets the hotel apart is its inclusive design and educational vision. A child-height buffet, family-oriented planning, and an enthusiastic service team make the experience welcoming and enriching for all generations.
