Rixos Tersane İstanbul
Yalı Apartments&Bosphorus Villas
An ultra-luxury living story rising on a unique pier where the Golden Horn meets the Bosphorus, combining the nobility of a centuries-old 'yali' culture with modern apartment comfort; positioned against the timeless silhouette of the historic peninsula, secluded from the city yet at its very heart.
TERSANE LIVING
Rewriting the City's Most Noble Living Tradition.
Positioned where the Golden Horn opens into the Bosphorus, Yalı Apartments & Bosphorus Villas rewrite the city’s finest waterfront tradition for modern elite living.
Poised where the Golden Horn opens into the Bosphorus, directly facing the historic peninsula skyline, Yalı Apartments & Bosphorus Villas is an ultra-luxury collection located at the easternmost edge of Tersane Istanbul's living layer, rewriting the city’s deep-rooted residential tradition in a contemporary language. It embodies two distinct typologies: Yalı Apartments, rising directly above the pier, and Bosphorus Villas, masterfully crafted as standalone residences right by the water's edge.
The Contemporary Expression of the Yali Tradition
In Istanbul, a 'yali' is not merely a residential typology; it is a statement of address and a matter of heritage. For centuries, the city’s most distinguished families resided in these waterfront mansions overlooking the currents; today, these addresses remain the most exquisite pieces of the city’s collective memory. Yalı Apartments & Bosphorus Villas carry this very tradition into the present: row houses whose balconies run parallel to the flow of the Golden Horn, positioned just a step away from the water, level with their own private pier. It seamlessly blends the exclusive privacy of the traditional yali with contemporary apartment comfort and the vibrant destination lifestyle of Tersane Istanbul.
The Historic Peninsula Panorama
Before your windows lies the Golden Horn. Across the water, the historic peninsula unfolds as an ever-changing horizon throughout the day: from the Suleymaniye Mosque and the Fatih skyline to the shores of Eminönü, with the city's seven hills rising in the background. Every facade and terrace of Yalı Apartments & Bosphorus Villas has been meticulously designed to frame this breathtaking view like a living painting. The city lights reflecting on the water by night, and the rhythmic dance of the ferries by day, serve as the invisible yet ever-present backdrop of this prestigious address.
The Signature of 1508 London
The interior design of Yalı Apartments & Bosphorus Villas is masterfully crafted by 1508 London, a globally acclaimed studio renowned for ultra-exclusive residential and hospitality projects. The studio’s prestigious portfolio spans from the historic restoration of The Old War Office in London to next-generation branded residences like the Baccarat Residences in Dubai and Cipriani Residences in Miami. 1508 London positions this project as the 'mature sibling' of the Tersane Istanbul residential collection: featuring a design language that is introverted, urban, and deeply connected to Istanbul’s layered history. The keyword here is 'urban eclectic'—characterized by mid-century influences, a measured balance between tradition and modernity, and an understated urbanity. Colors are more saturated, textures run deeper, and details remain quiet. In the studio’s own words, these are interiors that are 'confident, timeless, and deeply rooted—reinterpreting tradition through a contemporary lens.
Interiors
The living spaces are conceptualized as a seamless extension of the captivating landscape. Floor-to-ceiling windows open directly toward the Golden Horn, creating a balanced composition of dark timber flooring, natural stone surfaces, and richly textured wall coverings within the interior.
In the kitchens, heavily veined marble islands are accompanied by minimalist cabinetry systems accentuated with brass details. The bathrooms feature exquisite green marble bathtub alcoves, red marble vanities, and custom-patterned marble mosaics. The bedrooms offer spacious walk-in closets, private balconies, and beautifully textured wall finishes. In the living rooms, a fireplace, a library wall, and multiple scenic facades form a standard part of the layout.
The open-plan living layout, smart storage solutions, and fluid transition between indoor and outdoor areas perfectly reflect the urban living plan philosophy tailored specifically by 1508 London.
Two Typologies, One Address
The collection presents two distinct lifestyles. Yalı Apartments feature residences that prioritize the vertical spaciousness of apartment architecture and wide scenic facades; each unit is designed with dual private entrances, ensuring that privacy and daily flow coexist effortlessly within the same home. Bosphorus Villas, on the other hand, are standalone structures designed at the pier level, complete with their own open spaces and a more horizontal living layout. Both typologies unite under a shared material language, an identical approach to high ceilings, and the same premium service infrastructure
