This September, the Golden Horn comes alive with rowing and celebration. At Aliée, tailored experiences bring guests into the rhythm of the races and the calm of renewal, shaping the Cup into a season by the water.
Denizbank Tersane Istanbul Rowing Cup

The Golden Horn welcomes a weekend shaped by movement and celebration as the Denizbank Tersane İstanbul Rowing Cup arrives at Tersane İstanbul. From corporate crews to coastal clubs, the water comes alive with the rhythm of rowing at the very heart of the city. Concerts, award ceremonies, and a vibrant waterfront setting turn the occasion into more than a sporting event. It becomes a cultural gathering that reflects the spirit of Istanbul’s new meeting point.

Row & Refuel: Renewal by the Water

Within Off the Deck, Row & Refuel creates harmony between vitality and restoration. After the intensity of race days, guests are invited to recharge with nourishing blends at the Detox Bar and calming daily rituals. Here, the thrill of competition is balanced with moments of renewal, transforming the Rowing Cup into not only an event to witness but a season to experience with Aliée.

Off the Deck: Seven Days on the Golden Horn

From September 1, Aliée welcomes its guests into Off the Deck Week, a dedicated journey that continues until the close of the Rowing Cup. Life at Aliée flows seamlessly into the rowing culture of the Golden Horn through thoughtfully designed activations. Each day offers a fresh perspective, shaping the Cup into part of a broader season of lifestyle, culture, and community by the water.

Rhythms of the Rowing Cup

The Rowing Cup season brings Aliée rituals anew, with a day designed for the rowing enthusiast, the careful watcher, and the lover of sport. As the sun rises over the Golden Horn, mornings begin with rowing sessions led by experienced instructors, setting a steady rhythm for the day. Afterwards, balance is restored with a protein-focused breakfast at Little House, prepared to be savoured slowly. Afternoons flow into movement at Well+ Active, where gentle stretches and strengthening sequences echo the motion of the oars. To ease both body and mind, the Reform Massage at Well+ offers a restorative pause, releasing tension. Select experiences require advance reservation, and treatments are available at an additional charge.
