The central point here has to be the large, infinity pool with a separate circular and shallower whirlpool and a lounger-dotted sunbathing terrace, from where you can soak in the coastal views and the warm Mediterranean sunshine.
Step through the large glass doors from the pool terrace and you’ll be in the living room area.
There, you'll find comfy sofas and a television for relaxing after an action-packed day of exploring, as well as a fully-equipped kitchen with everything you’d need for a self-catering stay.
Plus, there’s a dishwasher, washing machine and microwave to make your holiday as stress-free as possible.
Keep up with your fitness routine on the villa’s treadmill looking out to the sea or challenge the kids to a game of table tennis.
This villa also has a barbeque and alfresco dining table so meal time are a real treat here.
There are three double bedrooms, one twin bedroom and four bathrooms – one with a hot tub – at the villa so there’s plenty of room for families or groups.
The villa can comfortably sleep up to eight.
Rooms have large glass wall-to-wall windows to really frame those fantastic views and plenty of space for unpacking your holiday belongings.
Some of the rooms also have balconies so you can step straight outside from your bedroom into the sunshine, and relax there too.
If you’d like to go exploring, Kalkan Bus Station is only a short 2.1km from the villa, while popular Kaputas Beach with its soft, sandy shores and calm, clear waters for swimming is only 6km away so you’re perfectly placed for discovering more of this fantastic area of Turkey.

The villa is located a short walk away from the beautiful Kalamar Bay.
The home has air-conditioning throughout the property and there are 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms.
It can accommodate up to 8 people

This villa is in the laidback village of Kalamar in Kalkan, Turkey.
It occupies a quiet spot, overlooking Kalamar Bay, and has the majestic pine tree-lined Taurus Mountains as backdrop.
You’re only a short 200-metre walk from Kalamar Beach Club.
There you’ll find calm waters and soft sands.
The beach club offers a restaurant, places to sunbathe and watersports opportunities, too.
A short 2km walk from the villa will take you into Kalkan Town, where there’s a colourful harbour dotted with Turkish wooden gulets – traditional boats – as well as waterfront restaurants and a beautiful and historic old town area which extends back from the sea.
Spend afternoons wandering the cobbled lanes, with houses draped in brightly coloured bougainvillaea flowers, or dine on a roof terrace restaurant with spectacular views of the town and the coastline.
There are also plenty of swimming beaches in Kalkan, as well as Turkish Baths if you’d like a relaxing end-of-day massage. Mezes are the popular food here, and look out for places serving freshly-caught seafood, too.
For fun day trips, you can jump on a boat to the small island of Kekova where you can explore the part-sunken ruins of Dolchiste, an ancient town which was destroyed by an earthquake.
Or, a traditional wooden boat to traverse the coast.
For top walking routes, the dramatic Taurus Mountains with its deeply cut valleys and canyons are your go-to.
You could also join the popular Lycian Way Trail – a footpath that takes in fantastic coastal views – so, camera at the ready.

Kalkan has become boutique resorts, with cobbled streets and converted Greek houses, which belonged to the Greek merchants before the exchange of population in the 1920’s.
Once quiet fishing harbours these days you are more likely to see traditional wooden gulets taking tourists to soak up rays on the sparkling turquoise Mediterranean.
A boat trip is a must do, from the boat you can snorkel and usually a delicious lunch is prepared on board.
Keen walkers should check out the Lycian way for designated walking paths in the area.
You cannot come to this area without spending some time exploring the many Lycian sights, such as Xanthos, Patara, Myra or the sunken city of Kekova.
Patara is said to be where democracy started (they excavated stone voting block) and is also said to be the birthplace of St Nicholas, who became bishop at nearby Myra.
The ruins here include an ancient theatre, city walls, government build and agora.
The lighthouse on the site is said to be the earliest of its kind.
Visit Patara in the late afternoon and finish the trip with a drink on the sandy beach watching the amazing sunset.
The Salikent Gorge is a great place to visit, especially if you want to cool off in the fresh waters whilst walking up the gorge.
For the more energetic there are rafts and rings to ride the flowing waters.
Further down you can enjoy a day canoeing toward the beach.
Islamlar sits 8 km above Kalkan.
Once the place Kalkan folk went to cool off at one of the trout farms built to make use of the mountain’s springs.
Today Islamlar houses many a villa, enjoyed by Istanbul Turks who prefer a holiday in slightly cooler and cleaner air.
Here the locals grow grapes and pomegranates, but you’ll mainly see the men sat gossiping next to the local teahouse.
The trout farms remain a place to come for a wonderful fresh meal, or a breakfast consisting of fresh local fare.
The rocket will be the freshest & most tasty you’ve ever had; and the fresh chips cooked in olive oil take some beating.
By night both Kalkan and Kas come alive.
Kas has more of a bohemian feel, people ambling through the cobbled streets, passing the ancient tomb in the street, haggling for textiles, carpets and other goodies, maybe stopping for the traditional Turkish ‘maras’ ice cream, a tulip-shaped glass of tea or a wonderful kebab in the shadow of the mosque.
Most of the villas in Kas are just out of town on the Cukurbag Peninsula.
A reasonable (5km) taxi or Dolmus (local bus) ride into town.
Be sure to try the Piyaz, a white bean salad with tahini sauce.
Travelling along the coast, towards Kalkan you pass the modern marina, the children’s beach park (run by the local hotel school) and halfway to Kalkan the stunning Kaputas Beach, cut in a gorge with all different shades of turquoise in the sea.
Kalkan is a more sophisticated resort, with the villas built onto the mountainside.
Evening are spent enjoying the rooftop restaurants, perched on the top of the old ‘konak’ houses.
Then wandering to a seaside bar for a cocktail, after shopping for glass lanterns, Iznik pottery, handbags or pestemel towel.
Do visit the ‘pastane’, local patisseries which do the most delicious morning pastries and you must try the ‘Gozleme’ pancakes at the Thursday market.
Other things to do in the area include scuba diving as the visibility is excellent, paragliding, horseriding on Patara Beach or kayaking around the sunken ruins at Kekova.
