Villa Kaz 1 | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Kas

Ten guests, five generous bedrooms, and a rooftop plunge pool overlooking the Mediterranean harbour town of Kalkan—this is where the luxury villa rental in Kalkan, Turkey comes into its own. Villa Kaz 1 commands a hillside position above this charming Turquoise Coast settlement, with sweeping panoramic views that extend across the town, its working harbour, and the azure waters beyond. Built across three storeys with contemporary minimalist interiors and travertine terraces, this property stands as one of the most sophisticated bases for a large group escape to Turkey’s most coveted coastal region.

Inside Villa Kaz 1

Villa Kaz 1 sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, each ensuite. The ground floor opens into a double-height atrium flooded with southern light and framed by floor-to-ceiling picture windows. The open-plan living and dining area features an elephant-grey corner sofa with coordinating furnishings, marble side tables, and a ten-seat dining table in crisp white and beige tones—the kind of entertaining space where long dinners naturally extend into conversation. The kitchen, finished in striking black and white, runs the full length of the entertaining zone with a marble preparation island, full complement of built-in appliances, dishwasher, and oven. A drinks bar with integrated seating creates the natural gathering point before meals.

Bedroom 1 occupies the ground floor with a double bed, direct pool terrace access (ideal for early morning swims), and an ensuite bathroom. The marble circular staircase rises to the first floor, where Bedrooms 2 and 3 both feature double beds, panoramic sea-view balconies, and marble ensuites with walk-in showers. Bedroom 4 on this same level contains twin single beds, equally appointed with marble ensuite and sea-facing furnished balcony. The master suite crowns the villa on the second floor—a king-size bedroom with expansive views, marble bathroom with walk-in shower, and exclusive access to the rooftop terrace featuring the standalone plunge pool, sun loungers, and a soft seating arrangement perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks service.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The outdoor environment transforms the villa into a resort-style compound. The main infinity pool dominates the ground floor terrace, stepping directly into the azure water with zero visual break—this is the focal point for daytime leisure. Modern mesh loungers and adjustable parasols line the pool surround, while a separate pergola-shaded seating area offers respite from direct sun. The recently added Jacuzzi sits apart with its own sea view, positioned to catch the last light at dusk. A table-tennis table provides active entertainment, and the alfresco dining zone features a built-in barbeque for evening preparations of fresh catch and local produce. Beyond the main pool, the rooftop plunge pool on the master bedroom terrace provides an intimate secondary swimming space with 360-degree views. The property’s travertine tiled terracing spans approximately 200 square metres, creating multiple distinct zones for sunbathing, dining, relaxation, and socialising without the feeling of crowding.

Location: Kalkan and the Surrounding Area

Kalkan sits 125 kilometres south of Dalaman Airport via a scenic mountain drive through the Taurus range, or 25 kilometres from Kas—both doorways to this distinctive Turkish Mediterranean pocket. The town itself evolved from the Greek settlement of Kalamaki, and Ottoman-era architecture still defines its character: whitewashed buildings crowd narrow cobbled lanes descending toward the working harbour, where traditional fishing boats operate alongside modern leisure craft. The Thursday market draws locals and visitors seeking fresh produce, spices, and regional goods; supermarkets in town provide full holiday provisions. Approximately 150 restaurants, cafes, and bars operate within Kalkan, ranging from family-run establishments serving traditional Turkish meze and grilled fish to internationally-trained chefs running fine-dining experiences. The waterfront alone contains dozens of options for casual lunch or sunset dining with harbour views.

Water-taxi services operate complimentary shuttles from Kalkan harbour to the region’s premium beach clubs. Kaputas Beach—a golden sand cove framed by dramatic limestone gorge walls—lies 20 kilometres west and remains relatively undeveloped. Further east toward Kas, the 20-kilometre sandy expanse of Patara Beach includes a protected nesting zone for the endangered Caretta sea turtle, creating an educational and conservation-focused beach experience. Kalkan’s own pebble beach offers immediate swimming access with minimal walking. The Lycian Way long-distance walking trail passes directly through the area, threading archaeological sites including the ancient cities of Xanthos and Letoon (40 kilometres via Kinik), visible as hillside ruins with Greco-Roman amphitheatres and temple foundations. Kas—a yacht-filled harbour town 25 kilometres away—features Ottoman-period buildings, antique markets, and the daily 20-minute ferry to Meis island in Greece, where the Blue Cave and waterside tavernas await.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Villa Kaz 1 functions exceptionally for groups of 8–10 adults seeking a shared base without sacrificing privacy or comfort. Extended families find the bedroom spread across three levels allows teenage independence while maintaining central entertaining spaces. Four coupled friends or two families with adolescent children appreciate the ensuite separation, reducing bathroom conflicts. Groups celebrating milestones—weddings, anniversaries, significant birthdays—benefit from the rooftop master suite plunge pool as a private retreat and the formal dining capacity for celebratory meals. The property’s combination of chef-on-call availability and full kitchen facilities accommodates groups with dietary requirements or those preferring privacy over restaurant dining. Active groups interested in hiking the Lycian Way, sailing the Turkish coast, or exploring archaeological sites find Kalkan’s position ideal for day-trip planning. The villa less suits couples or small families of 3–4 seeking intimate, cosy accommodation; larger than necessary spaces can feel impersonal for small groups.
