The rock beneath the hotel has carried the marks of civilizations for thousands of years.

Christian monks carved chapels into the valley — the fresco tradition began.

11th c.

Seljuks

Underground cities expanded; today's Göreme settlement took shape.

Cave Rooms

Ragnar Cave Room

Step into Ragnar, a vaulted-stone cave room hand-carved into Cappadocia's living rock. A queen bed dressed in rich textiles sits beneath an arched ceiling lit by warm sconces, while a pair of plush velvet armchairs invite slow evenings beside the antique rug. The honey-colored stone walls, ornamental niches and travertine floors create an atmosphere that feels both monastic and lavish — a quiet refuge a short walk from the heart of Ürgüp.

Cave Rooms

Lagerta family room with partition and Jacuzzi

Lagerta is shaped for friends, siblings or business travelers who want their own bed without giving up the cave-hotel experience. Two crisply made twin beds rest beneath a soaring arched ceiling, framed by heavy patterned curtains that filter Cappadocian sunlight. A flat-screen TV, modern climate control and a small antique rug add comfort without disturbing the room's quiet stone-carved character.

Stone Rooms

Rollo Cozy Jacuzzi Cave Room

Rollo is a compact retreat with an outsized sense of romance. The 23-square-meter room is wrapped in soft travertine and crowned by a dark coffered ceiling, with a corner jacuzzi tucked beside the queen bed — a private wet ritual without leaving the room. Carved-stone niches glow with candlelight, an antique-style arched door opens onto Cappadocian morning light, and a kilim runner grounds the room's quiet intimacy.

Jeep Safari

Not all of Cappadocia's secrets are visible from the main roads. Our off-road Jeep Safari plunges deep into remote valleys inaccessible to ordinary vehicles, revealing hidden pigeon houses carved into cliff faces, forgotten Byzantine frescoes, and landscapes that feel entirely untouched by time. Experienced local guides navigate ancient tracks through the Ihlara Valley, Soğanlı, and the volcanic badlands beyond Avanos. This is the Cappadocia that most visitors never see — rugged, raw, and profoundly beautiful.

Details

Hot Air Balloon Tour

Drift above Cappadocia's otherworldly landscape as the sun rises over the horizon. This iconic experience reveals the region's fairy chimneys, volcanic valleys, and ancient cave dwellings from a perspective that no ground-level journey can replicate. Your pilot navigates skillfully over Love Valley and the Rose Valley, adjusting altitude to skim just meters above the canyon floors or soar high enough to take in the sweeping panorama of Göreme National Park. The flight concludes with a traditional champagne toast — a century-old ballooning tradition that feels perfectly at home in this land of ancient wonder.

Details

Camel Safari

Step back in time and experience Cappadocia as its medieval merchants and pilgrims did — swaying gently atop a camel along ancient caravan routes. This leisurely journey through the valleys offers a completely unhurried perspective, allowing you to appreciate the subtle details of the landscape: wildflowers clinging to canyon walls, light shifting across tuff rock, silence broken only by wind and birdsong. Ride into the sunset above Sunset Point for an image that will define your entire trip to Cappadocia.

Kapadokya tatilimizde Ürgüp merkezde bulunan Zümrütü Anka Cave'i tercih ettik. Konumu sayesinde çevreyi gezmek bizim için oldukça rahattı. Mağara konseptli odaları ve otelin kendine özgü atmosferi çok hoşumuza gitti. Keyifli vakit geçirdiğimiz, bizim için güzel bir konaklama deneyimi oldu. Her şey için teşekkür ederiz. 🤍
