Hello,
I am Mehmet Biçer, the founder of the Pure Life brand, which embarked on its journey in the tourism sector in 1987. Growing up in the countryside inspired me to envision a "Village Tourism Facility" that integrates minimal concrete usage, thereby enhancing both the tourism industry and rural life. After accumulating the necessary resources, I realized this dream in 2012 by establishing Pure Life Village in the abandoned village of Beğiş Susuzu in Korkuteli, Antalya, opening it to tourism. Unfortunately, due to work commitments, I had to conclude this project in 2014, despite the significant challenges and efforts invested. Even though I faced challenges, I never gave up on my dreams.
In 2018, I inaugurated Pure Life Villas in Faralya, Fethiye, featuring wooden villas and holiday homes built with minimal concrete (limited to foundations and certain pool areas), thus initiating the Pure Life Göcek journey.
The Pure Life Göcek facility was originally established by the Taka family in 1930 as a modest 2-room house and farm. As the family expanded, so did the number of rooms and houses until 1975. Following this period, the family gradually relocated to the center of Göcek, and by 1983, the property was abandoned until 1993, when Tanfer Taka reopened it as a yoga camp. In August 2021, I acquired this property from Mr. Taka with a commitment to reproject and restore it as a tourism facility. Keeping this promise, Pure Life Göcek will reopen in the summer of 2024, offering an exemplary small and sustainable tourism facility with a distinctive concept. Situated on a 12-acre land with 12 rooms, it boasts a magnificent natural setting and prime location.
My extensive career includes 27 years with Liberty Hotels, where I contributed to the development of Sundia Hotels brands. Currently, I am honored to lead the development of the Prime Beach Hotel in Marmaris.
We eagerly anticipate sharing the progress of the Pure Life Göcek brand with you, as we collectively strive for a sustainable and cleaner future.
I would appreciate your presence always.
Best regards,
Mehmet Biçer
Founder of Pure Life
