In 2026, Soulsetters Collection and Mercedes-Benz Türkiye came together for a collaboration rooted in a shared appreciation of freedom, exploration, and a deeper connection with nature.
Bringing together two distinct worlds, the collaboration reflects a common belief that the most meaningful journeys take us beyond the everyday and closer to what truly matters.
“Şehirden uzak, kendine yakın” · the line that framed it allThe new all-electric GLC and GLB came to Faralya for a weekend at Perdue: drives along the hairpin roads above the coast, the convoy slipping between pine and limestone, and the sea opening up at every bend.
When the cars were parked, the weekend slowed to Perdue’s pace. Chef Ulaş Durmaz, recipient of the 2024 Michelin Young Chef Award, cooked a tasting menu from the region’s fresh, local produce; guests made their own designs in an eco-print workshop with colours and plants taken from nature; and the evening ended with sunset rituals facing Butterfly Valley.
In August, a film followed the road down to Perdue: the coastline from above, the switchbacks through the forest, a car resting beneath a timber pergola, and then the hotel itself, from the stone pools and the tents on the cliff to a long table set by the water.
It ends where every day here ends: the sun dropping through the pines, and the line that framed the whole partnership: far from the city, close to yourself.

A second film carried the partnership across the whole of Soulsetters: from the sign at Rups by the sea to the gardens of Perdue and Nautical, where the three-pointed star turns up among oleanders, on a wooden table marker, in the branches overhead.
Every journey becomes a new view; every arrival, a step closer to yourself.
