HARVEST
KAPLANKAYA

10-14 May 2023

Harvest Kaplankaya is a curated four-day experience aimed at bringing people together to rediscover human connection, contemplate important global issues and celebrate human potential.

MAY 2023 THEME

Forging Radical Hope

Humans, like nature, are hardwired to survive, but our resilience isn't simply based on our intelligence, strength or technology. It's also about our ability to hope and to reimagine social constructs to build a more connected, more peaceful world. 


Over four days, a gathering of world experts, artists and intellectuals will come together to explore the questions: Where have we come from? What’s going on in the world today? And where do we go from here? Breaking down human constructs across time, we will begin to identify what in the past and present serves us and the planet, concluding with radical hope for building a brighter future. The kind of hope that is durable enough to encounter setbacks, that is powerful enough to overcome impossible odds.

Kaplankaya


On the edge of turquoise waters with Greek islands as the backdrop, Kaplankaya is spread over a hilly and rugged terrain dotted with olive groves and pine trees.

Rated #3 in Condé Nast's Top Destination Spa Resorts in the world in 2022, the hotel boasts luxurious rooms guaranteed to give you a good night’s sleep, as well as a range of facilities including a 10,000sqm spa with unique high-end treatments targeting nutrition, ageing, detoxing, sleep and much more.
