Bijal Resort, Turkey’s premier luxury destination, appoints Michelin-starred Theodor Falser as Executive Chef. With an illustrious career that spans the globe, Falser brings his world-renowned expertise and culinary celebration of nature to Bijal. At the heart of Bijal’s ethos is the belief in the transformative power of play—’we see play everywhere’—a philosophy that extends to its culinary ventures. Falser’s concepts for the ClubHouse and BeachHouse restaurants mirror the resort’s vision through innovative menus that blend natural and local ingredients with playfulness and sophistication. Under Falser’s culinary leadership, the ClubHouse Restaurant offers Italian fine dining in symphony with international flavours set against the backdrop of Turkey’s seaside. Meanwhile, the BeachHouse Restaurant invites guests to an intimate beachside culinary adventure where fresh seafood meets local delights. Despite running several restaurants globally, Chef Falser will visit Bijal every month.

Raised on a farm in South Tyrol, Falser’s culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in nature and the principle that local and natural ingredients are essential to creating meaningful cuisine. His masterful approach to tradition has led Falser to achieve a Michelin star within his first year at Johanesstube. Bijal Resort, Turkey’s most luxurious hotel on the Antalaya coast, redefines exclusivity with only 19 ultra-premium class private villas. Guests can enjoy unparalleled privacy and elegance amidst lush gardens and direct beach access. The resort offers Michelin-starred dining, a serene spa experience, professional tennis courts, private sunset cruises or dedicated personal butler available 24/7, setting a new benchmark for luxury holidays.
