Villa Sumac | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Kas/Antalya

Ten guests arrive at Villa Sumac in Kaş, Antalya, and the first thing they do is stop talking. The view from the hillside terrace—where the Mediterranean sprawls beneath a cloudless sky and the ancient town of Kalkan tumbles down to Kalamar Bay—commands absolute silence. This isn’t a villa that overlooks a location. It inhabits one, positioned at the apex of the slope where every window frames a postcard, and every sunset becomes the reason you return year after year.

Inside Villa Sumac

Villa Sumac sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, distributed across three distinct levels that step down the hillside like a private resort carved into Mediterranean stone. The architecture blends contemporary living with Anatolian soul—whitewashed walls, soaring glass, and interiors that feel both modern and rooted in local tradition.

The ground floor is where the villa’s heart beats. You’ll enter into an expansive open-plan living and dining zone with terrace access, where an L-shaped sofa anchors a light-filled seating area scattered with traditional cushions. The flat-screen smart television sits embedded in wood panelling, but honestly, most guests ignore it entirely—the views outside have already stolen their attention. Dining happens at a formal table positioned for maximum sea vista, while the adjacent kitchen operates with surgical precision. Sleek black cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a layout that transforms even reluctant holiday cooks into willing dinner volunteers. From this floor, the first of the five bedrooms branches off—a double with direct pool terrace access and its own en-suite shower room. A guest cloakroom completes this level.

The lower ground floor houses the second bedroom, also a double with en-suite facilities and independent terrace access—a practical arrangement for guests who value privacy or families with adult children. This level also contains a dedicated gym and games room equipped with treadmills, weights benches, and Pilates equipment, plus a separate family shower room. Note that this bedroom is accessed separately from the main house, making it unsuitable for young children without supervision.

Take the floating staircase to the first floor, where three generous double bedrooms claim prime position with unobstructed views. The master suite features a double bed, an en-suite bathroom with a jacuzzi bath, and a furnished glass-fronted balcony where you can watch dawn break over the Aegean. The second first-floor bedroom holds a double bed with en-suite shower room and a sea-view balcony. The third offers twin single beds (ideal for teenagers or friends), again with en-suite facilities and a balcony overlooking the coast. Each bedroom feels like a private retreat rather than shared accommodation.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The exterior landscape at Villa Sumac reads like a luxury resort condensed into one family property. The private infinity pool measures 5.5 metres by 10 metres with a depth of 1.5 metres—large enough for genuine swimming, intimate enough for meaningful conversation. Ten modern mesh sun loungers surround the pool deck, their positioning calculated to capture both shade from wooden pergolas and unobstructed views. Deep-cushioned day beds sit in the shallow water itself, placed specifically so you can drift between lounging and swimming without leaving your spot.

The terrace wraps around the property like a protective arm. Parasols and pergolas offer shade during the intensity of summer months, while a glass-fronted sunken seating well becomes the magic hour gathering place—the kind of spot where sunset cocktails taste better than they should. A covered dining area accommodates alfresco meals, and the built-in barbecue invites evening feasts of grilled fish and Turkish mezes. The surrounding garden features mature olive trees and seasonal fruit trees, adding both shade and authentic Mediterranean character to the grounds.

Practical amenities throughout include Wi-Fi, full air conditioning, an elevator from the underground parking garage directly to the pool terrace (invaluable for luggage and accessibility), and a washing machine for longer stays.

Location: Kaş/Antalya and the Surrounding Area

Villa Sumac sits on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, 130 kilometres from Dalaman Airport (approximately 90 minutes’ drive through the Taurus Mountains). The location places you within striking distance of some of the Mediterranean’s most compelling destinations while maintaining genuine tranquility.

Kalkan itself—just 5 minutes’ drive away—is a working harbour town that has resisted over-tourism through careful preservation. The old quarter features cobbled streets, whitewashed houses draped in bougainvillea, and an estimated 150 restaurants, cafes, and bars. Thursday brings the local market to town, overflowing with fresh produce, textiles, and local crafts. Rooftop restaurants command views of the harbour while serving traditional Turkish mezes and contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. Supermarkets, banks, and pharmacies cluster in the town center, making practical errands straightforward.

Kalamar Bay, immediately below the villa, has developed three beach clubs accessible by car or on foot—each featuring restaurants, infinity pools, and saltwater bathing platforms. The pebble beach in Kalkan town itself offers organized sun loungers and direct Mediterranean access through calm, shallow water.

Extended exploration reveals exceptional natural and cultural sites. Kaputas Beach (20km west) cuts into a natural gorge with turquoise water and dramatic cliffsides. Patara (30km southwest) offers 20 kilometres of uninterrupted golden sand, archaeological remains spanning two millennia including dual amphitheatres, and a protected nesting area for Caretta-Caretta sea turtles. The Lycian Way walking trail threads through Kalkan itself, following ancient routes through dramatic coastline, archaeological sites, and local villages—perfect for multi-day hiking or morning walks.

Kaş town (25km east) has evolved into a serious destination for divers exploring underwater Lycian ruins, alongside excellent restaurants, jewellery shops, and upmarket retail. Fethiye (60km northeast) operates as a larger hub with its famous fish market, designer shopping, and ferry departures for boat trips to Ölüdeniz’s blue lagoon.

Traditional gulet boat hire operates throughout summer, offering full-day sailing with swimming, snorkelling, and home-cooked meze service. May through October brings consistently warm, dry weather—with July and August reaching peak heat (and peak crowds). April, May, September, and October offer ideal conditions: warm water, manageable temperatures, and thinner visitor numbers.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Villa Sumac performs exceptionally well for groups of 8-10 where separation matters—multi-generational families where grandparents want independent lower-ground accommodation, professional friend groups splitting costs, or two families holidaying together who value both shared spaces and private bedroom sanctuaries. The layout allows older teenagers and young adults to occupy the twin-bed option while maintaining their own en-suite, while a couple or single adult can use the lower ground floor bedroom independently.

Families with young children should note the safety implications of the lower ground bedroom’s separate access, though the main house bedrooms offer excellent family arrangements. The gym appeals to guests who maintain fitness routines during holiday, while the proximity to Kalkan’s restaurants suits groups who want to balance self-catering with dining-out flexibility.

Couples seeking a sophisticated retreat might find the five-bedroom scale excessive, though the master bedroom and its private balcony create an intimate primary suite experience. The location suits active guests—divers, hikers, boat enthusiasts—who want a luxury base for exploration rather than a destination unto itself.
