Divan is preparing to take over the hotel operation at Göcek Marina, which became part of Koç Holding's portfolio. Rixos Premium Göcek, which has been operating at the marina since 2014, is expected to be replaced by the Divan brand. Preparations for the transition are reportedly underway, with new employment contracts being signed with existing staff.
According to a report by İdriz Çolaklı in Para Dergisi, Göcek Marina, which operated under Yıldız Holding for many years, was transferred to Koç Holding in 2025.
Koç Holding subsidiary Tek-Art Kalamış ve Fenerbahçe Marmara Turizm Tesisleri A.Ş. (Tek-Art Marina) acquired the operating rights for Göcek Village Port Marina, Göcek Exclusive Port Marina and their affiliated hotels in Göcek for $160 million.
Göcek Marina began operating under Koç Holding's control at the beginning of 2026, following which the new management started implementing various changes across its operations.
One of the key decisions concerns the hotel operating brand within the marina.
The decision has reportedly been made not to continue with Rixos Premium Göcek, which has welcomed guests since 2014. Divan is expected to become the new hotel operator.
The signing of new employment contracts with existing staff indicates that preparations for the operational transition are continuing.
