SEALANYA

What SEALANYA does

Sealanya is a privately held marine theme park complex located in Türkler Mahallesi, Alanya district, Antalya Province, Turkey, operating since the summer of 2008. The company runs two integrated sub-brands on a single site: Seapark, an interactive aquarium featuring large saltwater pools (Tropical Reef, Shark Pool, Manta Ray Pool, Atlantis underwater city) and freshwater amenities (Tropical River lazy river, Kid's Pool, Cool Pond), and Dolphinpark, Turkey's largest dolphinarium, offering daily dolphin and seal shows, swimming with dolphins and seals, and a dolphin therapy program. The underlying asset base is a fixed, capital-intensive physical facility holding live marine mammals and tropical fish species, with trained animal care staff delivering spectator shows and supervised in-water experiences.

The business model is direct-to-consumer tourism: walk-up and online ticket sales to international visitors to the Alanya/Antalya Mediterranean coast, with multi-language websites in Turkish, English, Russian, and German targeting inbound tourist flows. Revenue is generated through tiered per-visitor pricing (Seapark 50-65 EUR, Dolphinpark 18-25 EUR, packages 55-70 EUR, swimming with dolphins 120 EUR), in-park food and beverage (lunch included in admission; cafe and beach bars extra), and professional photography services during animal interactions. Operations are seasonal, running 09:00 to 17:00 during the summer season, with no disclosed off-season programming. The primary customer segment is tourist families seeking marine animal encounters as a vacation activity, with a secondary niche segment of therapeutic visitors using dolphin-assisted therapy. No third-party distribution partners, OTA listings, acquisitions, or external funding rounds are present in the available data, and the company appears to operate as a single-site independent entity.
