About Us

Hunza is a private accommodation facility located in the Maşukiye area of Kocaeli, offering longevity-focused services. It takes its name from the Hunza Turks, known for their healthy and long lives, who live along the border of Pakistan and India. The Hunza community is one of the rare populations in which chronic illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases are virtually unseen, and the average lifespan is said to be around 120 years. This way of life—also recognized in the Guinness Book of Records—forms the main inspiration for our facility.

At Hunza, we adapt this unique model of living to the modern world, offering our guests a sustainable state of well-being. Our facility, located in the heart of nature and far from the chaos of city life, makes a difference with personalized nutrition programs and a wide range of activities.

We guide our guests in all areas of sport and make physical activity an inseparable part of life. At our facility, we serve healthy menus prepared entirely with natural ingredients to support balanced nutrition, and we contribute to holistic well-being through personalized dietary plans. In addition, with our 24/7 infirmary service, we prioritize your health and safety at all times.

Hunza is designed for those who want to go beyond an ordinary holiday and rebuild the harmony of mind, body, and spirit in balance with nature. We invite you to Hunza for an experience where you will rediscover yourself in the lush green landscape of Kartepe.

Physical activity also plays a pivotal role in the lives of the Hunza Turks. Their mountainous terrain naturally encourages walking and climbing, fostering cardiovascular health and muscle strength. They engage in daily activities like tending to crops, herding livestock, and walking long distances, all contributing to their overall fitness and vitality.

The Hunza Turks’ lifestyle is not just about diet and exercise; it’s a holistic approach to well-being. They prioritize community and family bonds, fostering strong social connections that promote mental and emotional health. Stress is minimized through a harmonious way of life, close to nature and in tune with the changing seasons.

Scientists continue to study the Hunza Turks to unravel the secrets behind their exceptional health and longevity. The absence of cancer and other prevalent diseases among them raises questions about the impact of diet, lifestyle, genetics, and environment on human health. By understanding and adopting elements of the Hunza Turk lifestyle, we may glean insights into extending healthspan and improving overall well-being in modern societies.

Our Team

Tuğba Ciğerdelen

Born in 1974 in İzmir.
With the establishment of private channels over time, my relentless work motivation, entrepreneurial spirit, and most importantly, openness to innovation and development have brought me to where I am today. The world is constantly changing within a dynamism. Adapting to this change, skillfully harnessing the winds of change, brings success. Those who cannot bring new customs to the old village, or those who do not want to, have melted away rapidly in the face of these winds of change. Being open to innovations is the foremost value in breaking the mold.
On this path that I embarked upon with hosting, I have never limited myself, nor have I focused on a single area. I found myself integrating wherever there was a deficiency in any department, which led me to learn more and become more equipped, bringing along power and courage.
I don't remember how many programs we made, how many hours we worked. But what I do know is the significant positive transfer that the master-apprentice relationship in the visual media world has brought to my professional life. I remember myself sometimes in the studio, sometimes in the control room, and in endless long meetings due to my hosting. And I'm still working tirelessly, still producing without getting tired, maintaining a pace that has lasted more than a quarter of a century.
Now, I am a wife and a mother, enjoying the beauties that life has offered me. Touching your lives as Hunza Camp on this journey with the experience I have gained and will continue to gain over time is a great honor for me. In this journey where you can find so much within yourselves, we are here to open happy sails to the flow of life by combining our energies and conducting activities with love and enthusiasm, tirelessly. With our professional team, we are always by your side.
