Incir Evi | 2-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Marmaris Mugla

Pine forests frame the coastline 6km south of Marmaris, and within that verdant landscape sits Incir Evi—a two-bedroom sanctuary where the Aegean’s influence reaches even the garden. This is a luxury villa rental in Marmaris that trades resort bustle for something rarer: a villa where the only sounds are cicadas and occasionally, if you listen carefully from the master suite, the faint percussion of distant waves. You’re close enough to the town’s restaurants and harbour to visit whenever you choose, yet isolated enough that solitude is guaranteed the moment you choose silence.

Inside Incir Evi

Incir Evi sleeps 4 guests across 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The ground floor distributes itself with practical elegance: a fully equipped kitchen anchors one wing, where a dishwasher, electric oven, microwave, and separate fridge-freezer mean you’re never dependent on takeaways unless you want them. A substantial wooden dining table sits adjacent, overlooking the garden through wide glazing that floods the space with morning light.

The living area features a sofa bed capable of accommodating a fourth guest, with a traditional white marble fireplace as its focal point. A television and DVD/CD player are positioned for evening entertainment. This room serves as the villa’s social hub—comfortable without being oversized, inviting without demanding activity.

The master bedroom contains a double bed and its own en-suite bathroom with a shower. The second bedroom offers twin single beds, practical for children or friends preferring separate sleeping arrangements. A separate shower room and toilet serve the second bedroom, eliminating morning congestion. Thoughtful additions appear throughout: fresh flowers on nightstands, mirrors positioned to catch light, candles arranged on surfaces. Storage is abundant—wardrobes and hanging space mean you’re not living from suitcases. Air-conditioning runs throughout, while Wi-Fi extends to every corner, should you need it.

Additional features include a safe deposit box for valuables, a hairdryer in each bathroom, an iron and ironing board tucked away discreetly, and a kettle and filter coffee maker in the kitchen. A high chair and cot are available for families travelling with infants. Throughout, locally-sourced Turkish fabrics and handmade carpets introduce warmth—the kind that comes from craft, not decorator budgets.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step outside, and the landscape immediately shifts your perspective. A 10-metre by 5-metre private pool with Roman steps and a ladder beckons—1.4 metres at its deepest point, it’s ideal for swimming laps or simply floating under the Anatolian sky. Sun loungers cluster nearby, with shaded seating positioned beneath natural coverage where the heat becomes manageable by mid-afternoon. An unheated whirlpool sits adjacent to the pool, its jets providing massage after days of exploration.

The terrace rises from the pool area, punctuated with vibrant plantings that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. An al fresco dining arrangement sits here—wooden chairs around a sturdy table, perfectly positioned for breakfasts when the light is golden and the air still cool. An electric barbecue stands ready for evening cooking, with views across the forested valley stretching to the horizon. At sunset, this terrace becomes a vantage point where the sky turns shades of amber and rose, and the distant pines transform into silhouettes against the fading light.

The gardens surrounding the villa—owned by the same proprietor who maintains just one other residential property in the immediate vicinity, plus a farmhouse—give genuine privacy. Pine trees provide natural screening and create pockets of shade throughout the day. The scent of resinous needles mingles with whatever blooms the season brings. Walks through the woodland directly from the villa property are possible, offering the kind of solitude that becomes increasingly rare.

Location: Marmaris and the Surrounding Area

Marmaris itself sits 6km distant, a resort town in Turkey’s southwestern Muğla Province where a 16th-century castle crowns a hilltop draped in bougainvillaea, visible from many vantage points in town. The castle houses an archaeology museum containing underwater excavated artefacts, and views from its ramparts extend across the entire bay. Marmaris Harbour—lined with hundreds of gulets (traditional wooden sailing vessels) and framed by waterfront restaurants and bars—anchors the town centre. Fresh seafood dominates menus here, though kebab specialists and casual cafés serve every preference and budget level.

Getting to town from Incir Evi requires minimal effort. A dolmus minibus service passes 250 metres from the villa entrance between 8am and 10pm, providing affordable transport for those avoiding rental cars. Taxis cost approximately £15 one way, with drivers reachable by text or phone. The owners can arrange car hire on request, unlocking exploration of the wider Bozburun Peninsula and beyond.

Immediate priorities include Turunc and Kumlubuk Cove, frequently cited as the Bozburun Peninsula’s most beautiful beach. The cove village of Kumlubuk itself remains relatively undeveloped, with a handful of restaurants and quieter swimming than Marmaris proper. A walking trail connects Kumlubuk to Amos, an ancient Carian city where theatre ruins and remaining city walls speak to millennia of human settlement. Kumlubuk beaches suit families seeking calm water and shallow entry.

Expand your radius to 15-20km and opportunities multiply: Akyaka, 18km northwest, sits along a river valley where fish restaurants cluster along the waterfront and traditional crafts remain visible in daily life. Selimiye, a boutique resort village 22km south, offers excellent seafood restaurants and attracts yachting communities during season. Dalyan, approximately 30km south, features Iztuzu Beach—a 4.5km expanse of sand where loggerhead sea turtles nest between May and October—and the ancient site of Caunos, where rock tombs carved into cliff faces overlook the river valley.

Markets in Marmaris centre sell local honey, traditional Turkish rugs, and regional produce. Supermarkets stock international and domestic items. Boat hire is readily available, ranging from small day-trip vessels to full-day gulet charters exploring the Bay of Marmaris and Bozburun Peninsula. Water taxis connect Marmaris to Turunc and Kumlubuk for those preferring sea transport. Mountain bike hire is available locally—the inland terrain and forest tracks around Incir Evi offer genuine riding, not just recreational cycling.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Couples seeking Mediterranean seclusion without hermit-like isolation find Incir Evi ideal. The villa offers genuine privacy while keeping restaurants, swimming, and cultural attractions within reach. Two-generation families—grandparents, parents, and children—benefit from the separate bedrooms, sofa bed flexibility, and child-friendly amenities including high chair and cot.

Small groups of four friends or two couples sharing costs appreciate the dual bathrooms (eliminating negotiations) and common living areas that encourage interaction without forced proximity. The pool and terrace facilitate group meals and evening conversations without the formality of resort dining.

Parents with young children find the fenced pool area, private outdoor space, and proximity to calm-water beaches like Kumlubuk particularly valuable. The absence of nightlife immediately outside the gate means children sleep reliably, and parents relax knowing security is built into isolation.

Those researching Turkey beyond tourist zones—archaeology enthusiasts drawn to Caunos and Amos, nature photographers seeking forest and coastal light, hikers exploring the Bozburun Peninsula—use Incir Evi as their operations base. The location is remote enough to feel authentic, connected enough that excursions require minimal planning.

How many guests does Incir Evi sleep?

Incir Evi accommodates 4 guests as standard: a master bedroom with a double bed, a second bedroom with twin single beds, and a sofa bed in the living area that functions as a fourth sleeping space. This configuration suits two couples, a family of four, or a family of three with a child’s cot available. The two full bathrooms prevent morning congestion.

What is the nearest airport to Incir Evi in Marmaris?

Dalaman Airport is the primary gateway, situated approximately 85km (53 miles) northwest of Marmaris. The drive takes roughly 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on traffic and road conditions.

The owners can arrange private car transfers, or standard taxi services operate from both airports.

What is the best time of year to rent Incir Evi?

April through June and September through October offer ideal conditions: warm but not intensely hot daytime temperatures (75-85°F / 24-29°C), calm seas, and lower crowds than July-August peak season. July and August remain viable but attract maximum international tourism to Marmaris, raising prices and crowding beaches. November through March sees occasional rainfall and cooler evenings, though days remain pleasant. The warmest water temperatures occur August-September, ideal for swimmers and sea activities. Cultural events and local festivals occur year-round—check with the owners about timing if attending specific celebrations.

Yes, with qualifications. The private pool is ideal for supervised young swimmers, and its Roman steps allow easy water entry for toddlers. A high chair, cot, and safe deposit box for valuables are available. Kumlubuk Cove and other nearby beaches offer shallow, calm water suitable for young children. The villa’s isolation means a car—either rental or taxi—is necessary for restaurants and attractions; families comfortable with that arrangement thrive here. The absence of steep drops or hazardous terrain around the property supports independent toddler play. Parents with infants benefit enormously from the quiet environment and lack of noise disturbances.

What is included in the rental price at Incir Evi?
