Villa Tarcin | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Kas

Ten guests. Five ensuite bedrooms. One Aegean vista that renders conversation unnecessary for the first hour. Villa Tarcin sits at the crest of a hillside commanding Kalamar Bay, positioned above the charming harbour town of Kalkan on Turkey’s Mediterranean-facing Turquoise Coast. The moment you arrive, the view claims you.

Inside Villa Tarcin

Villa Tarcin sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms distributed across three storeys. The architecture speaks: whitewashed Mediterranean walls, floor-to-ceiling windows that dissolve the boundary between interior and sea, and a glass lift that ferries you between levels while the panorama scrolls past.

Ground floor living flows open-plan—sofa seating anchors the space, a flat-screen television sits embedded in timber panelling, and an adjacent dining table seats the full party. The kitchen operates with precision: stainless steel appliances, a full suite of cookware and equipment, and counter space that transforms meal preparation into theatre rather than labour. One bedroom occupies this floor, furnished with a double bed and direct pool terrace access—ideal for guests who prefer morning swims before breakfast. A guest powder room and undercover parking complete the ground level experience.

The first floor houses the master suite and two additional bedrooms. The master bedroom features a double bed, an ensuite bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub, and a glass-fronted balcony angled toward the water. Adjacent rooms sleep either two (one double bed with sea-view access) or two guests in single beds—both ensuite with their own balconies. Each bedroom commands its own view; none feels secondary.

A lower ground bedroom serves as the fifth sleeping space, accessible via separate entry, furnished with a double bed and ensuite shower. A dedicated fitness studio occupies the same level—treadmill, bench weights, Pilates mat, and exercise ball—allowing morning workouts without disturbing sleepers above.

Throughout: air conditioning cools every room, Wi-Fi reaches every corner, hairdryers sit in every bathroom, and a washing machine handles laundry needs. This is a house that removes friction from daily life.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The terrace is where Villa Tarcin reveals its true nature. Ten metres from the infinity pool edge, Kalamar Bay stretches toward the horizon. The pool itself measures 5.5 metres by 10 metres at 1.5 metres depth—shallow enough for non-swimmers to stand, deep enough for proper laps. Ten sunbeds line the perimeter. Two oversized daybeds positioned in the pool’s shallow end invite you to recline with water lapping at your shoulders while the view dominates.

Parasols and wooden pergolas provide graduated shade. A swaying seat hangs in one corner for afternoon drowsiness. A sunken, glass-fronted seating well—carpeted, cushioned, positioned lower than the main terrace—creates an unexpected intimate space for sunset aperitifs. Wooden dining furniture occupies a covered area; the built-in barbecue handles evening meals. The gardens wrap around the villa in carefully maintained terraces populated with ancient olive trees and seasonal fruit varieties that perfume the air during their months.

At dusk, this outdoor room transforms completely. Table lamps illuminate the seating areas. The sea darkens to indigo. You watch Kalkan’s lights twinkle awake across the water. The temperature drops just enough to make the infinity pool feel warm rather than necessary.

Location: Kalkan and the Surrounding Turquoise Coast

Kalkan itself sits 5 minutes by car from Villa Tarcin—a functioning harbour town with cobbled streets, white-washed architecture draped in bougainvillaea, and approximately 150 restaurants, cafes, and bars serving everything from street-level meze to fine dining. The old town’s Thursday market stocks local produce, spices, and handicrafts. Supermarkets, banks, and designer boutiques operate year-round. When darkness falls, rooftop restaurants along the harbour become the destination—the view across the water justifies the reservation alone.

Three beach clubs operate within walking distance along Kalamar Bay itself, each offering restaurants, infinity pools, and direct sea access. Kalkan’s public beach provides organised loungers, umbrellas, and a waterfront cafe.

Kaputas Beach, 12km south, sits cradled within a dramatic natural gorge—a 25-minute drive rewards you with a pocket of sand accessible only by descending a steep staircase, guaranteeing relative solitude. Patara stretches for 20 kilometres of unspoilt golden sand 30km away, protected as a nesting ground for Caretta Caretta sea turtles. The same location hosts Patara’s 2,000-year-old archaeological zone, complete with two ancient amphitheatres and the Lycian Way walking trail cutting through the surrounding landscape.

Kas, 25km east along one of the Mediterranean’s most cinematically dramatic coastlines, operates as a secondary cultural base—more compact than Kalkan, known for its quality boutiques, jewellery galleries, and a thriving fishing village atmosphere. Fethiye, 50km east, anchors the broader region with comprehensive shopping (designer labels, jewellery), a working fish market that serves as both marketplace and social hub, and extensive archaeological sites including the Rhodes rock tombs carved directly into cliffsides.

Traditional gulet sailing charters depart daily from Kalkan’s harbour, offering full-day cruises with swimming stops, snorkelling over submerged ruins, and homemade meze lunches served aboard. The Lycian Way itself—an ancient trading route threading through Mediterranean villages, past archaeological sites, and along dramatic limestone ridges—has been restored and is walkable in sections ranging from 2-hour strolls to multi-day treks.

Dalaman Airport, 130km north, sits approximately 90 minutes’ drive away through the Taurus Mountains, a journey that transitions progressively from modern motorway to winding mountain roads to coastal descent.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families. Two or three generations separate comfortably across five bedrooms. The ground-floor bedroom suits older relatives who may struggle with stairs; younger children claim the first-floor rooms near parental oversight. The fitness studio and large pool accommodate active teenagers. Dining tables and seating areas allow simultaneous eating and social space.

Groups of friends. Six to ten adults split the rental cost across multiple couples. Bedrooms offer privacy; shared spaces encourage gathering. The pool becomes a daytime social hub; outdoor dining facilitates evening conversation.

Multi-generational celebrations. Anniversaries, milestone birthdays, family reunions. The property’s capacity and layout accommodate photography backdrops, outdoor dining setups for formal meals, and enough bedroom diversity that different sleeping preferences don’t create friction.

Couples seeking luxury retreat. While designed for groups, Villa Tarcin works equally for two people willing to pay for space and silence. The master suite, its Jacuzzi, and its dedicated balcony create an entirely separate world. The lower ground bedroom remains unused. The infinity pool becomes private.

Not ideal for families with very young children: The lower ground bedroom accesses separately from the main house via its own entrance—unsuitable for toddlers without constant adult accompaniment. The pool, while shallow in sections, requires supervision.
