Körfez Termal

What Körfez Termal does

Körfez Termal is a privately held thermal timeshare resort operating under the legal name Körfez Tatil Beldesi Tur. Tes. Ve Devremülk İşl. A.Ş., located in Güre, Edremit district of Balıkesir province, Turkey, at the foothills of Kaz Dağları (Mount Ida) overlooking the Aegean Sea. The company operates a 25,000 m² property (with approximately 15,000 m² of landscaped grounds, 7 elevators, and 11 km of Güre coastline access) featuring four apartment types ranging from 55 m² (2+1 Standard) to 120 m² (3+1 Roof Duplex), plus dual-gender 2,500 m² SPA centers with thermal and rooftop pools, hammam, sauna, and steam rooms; a beauty center; separate male/female fitness centers; a 200-person meeting room; restaurant, cafeteria, market, children's club, medical room, and a 400-person prayer room. The core technology is a proprietary thermal water source from on-site wells, certified by the Bursa Provincial Health Directorate as a supportive/complementary treatment, supplemented by a 360° virtual tour platform and a digital timeshare owner portal.

The business model combines six revenue streams: one-time timeshare deed sales (kat mülkiyeti tapulu, structured under Urban Transformation Law 6306 with a 2% title deed fee exemption and 1% VAT versus the standard 20%); rental income generated when owners rent out unused weeks via the resort's management system; transactional SPA and wellness services (massage, aromatherapy, beauty treatments); food and beverage (breakfast ₺500/person, dinner ₺900/person); meeting and event venue rental; and recurring fitness memberships for non-resort guests. Pricing varies by apartment tier, view (sea, mountain, middle row), and season (May–September peaks). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the company website (korfeztatil.com.tr) and Instagram (@korfeztatil), with timeshare sales handled by customer representatives responding to web-based purchase request forms. The customer base spans families (nuclear and extended), timeshare property investors, health and wellness tourists, and nature tourists drawn to the Kaz Dağı UNESCO biosphere reserve.

The company is operated by a very lean team of 5 listed employees, operates from a single headquarters address (Güre Cumhuriyet, Barış Sk No:44, 10300 Edremit/Balıkesir), and discloses no subsidiaries, parent company, funding rounds, or institutional investors. It is regulated primarily through Turkish tourism, real estate, and health authorities, with thermal water certification as its key regulatory milestone.
