Villa Kaktus | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Kas Kalkan
Holiday Home Rental Description
Rent a luxury villa in Kas, Turkey that accommodates ten guests across four spacious bedrooms and six bathrooms. Villa Kaktus sits perched above the Mediterranean coastline where the Turquoise Coast meets the pine-covered mountains—a location so commanding that you’ll find yourself abandoning indoor activities simply to stand on the terrace and absorb the view. The real draw isn’t just the vista, though: it’s the kind of outdoor space that makes you wonder why you ever bothered booking resort holidays.
Inside Villa Kaktus
Villa Kaktus sleeps 10 guests across 4 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The layout spans multiple levels, each thoughtfully designed for both privacy and congregation.
The master suite occupies its own wing with a generous double bed, sea-facing balcony, and an en-suite bathroom housing a shower and a standalone Jacuzzi bath positioned to capture morning light and afternoon sea breezes. A second double bedroom mirrors this configuration—double bed, coastal views, private balcony, shower en-suite. Two additional bedrooms contain twin single beds with en-suite bathrooms and shower facilities. Should your group include young children, one of the twin rooms converts to a double configuration upon request.
The ground floor living areas radiate from a central open-plan zone combining lounge and dining. Substantial sofas anchor the main living room; a separate television room provides refuge for those seeking quieter entertainment. The kitchen stretches across the upper floor with full appliance suites, breakfast bar seating, and a secondary kitchen on the lower ground level—invaluable when the main kitchen operates at capacity or when catering staff prepare dinner service.
Below ground, the villa transforms into a wellness and entertainment complex. A heated saltwater indoor pool measures 6 metres by 3 metres with 1.4-metre depth, retractable roof and walls that open entirely during warm months, a waterfall feature, suspended swing, and a sand-floor relaxation zone. Adjoining this pool sits a full-size hamam (Turkish bathhouse) where professional masseurs can be arranged for additional fees. A temperature-controlled gymnasium spans the neighbouring room, equipped with contemporary apparatus. The sauna occupies another dedicated space.
Entertainment facilities include a dedicated games room and a cinema room with projection and seating for the entire household. The cinema room converts to an additional sleeping space for up to four children on individual mattresses when booked in advance. A roof terrace and reading room occupy the highest level, naturally lit and positioned for contemplation or sunrise observation.
Six bathrooms distribute throughout—each bedroom en-suite plus a family shower room. Modern fixtures, rainfall showerheads, and heated towel rails feature consistently. Air conditioning serves all interior spaces; Wi-Fi connectivity reaches every room.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
The exterior spaces occupy nearly as much attention as the interiors. A private saltwater swimming pool dominates the lower garden—15 metres long, 6 metres wide, 1.7 metres deep at the deepest point. Two waterslides spiral from the pool edge; a waterfall conceals an explorable cave creating an element of discovery for younger guests. The pool temperature maintains warmth year-round through heating systems.
The poolside terrace accommodates multiple seating configurations: cushioned loungers, dining tables, and a dedicated bar counter. A traditional kosk—a shaded Turkish pavilion—overlooks the pool area, furnished with hammocks, scatter cushions, and a hand-woven kilim rug, creating an afternoon refuge from direct sun.
A rock garden and herb garden frame the property boundaries. Fruit trees bearing figs, pomegranates, and lemons scatter throughout the grounds. Two barbecue facilities serve outdoor dining: one stone-built structure anchoring a covered dining zone, the other a freestanding model for flexible entertaining.
Children’s play infrastructure occupies a dedicated zone: a tree house for climbing and exploration, a climbing wall for sport climbing, traditional swings, and a playground slide. Sunshowers allow rinsing after pool sessions; cushioned seating throughout encourages lingering in the Mediterranean climate.
The terraces orient toward the south and west, capturing morning light and sunset colour. Evening temperatures cool gradually as the sea breeze strengthens after dusk. The scent of lavender and wild herbs rises from the herb garden during warm months.
Location: Kas and the Surrounding Area
Kas sits on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast—a 15-kilometre stretch of Mediterranean shoreline where limestone peaks descend directly to crystalline water. The town itself occupies a compact hilltop 5 kilometres from Villa Kaktus, accessible by a 10-minute drive through olive groves and pine forest. Kas comprises narrow whitewashed streets, family-run restaurants, boutique shops selling locally-made ceramics and textiles, and harbour-front bars operating until late evening. Thursday markets bring regional traders selling handmade rugs, fresh produce, and prepared foods including gozleme—thin pastries filled with cheese and spinach, seasoned with za’atar.
The nearest major beach, Kaputas Beach, lies 8 kilometres away—a dramatic cove accessed by descending 86 stone steps, rewarding descent with water so transparent that swimmers see the seabed clearly at 5-metre depths. Patara Beach stretches 12 kilometres along the shoreline, protected as a national park and critical nesting site for loggerhead sea turtles. Its waters warm during June through September, reaching 26°C by August. The beaches support water sports operators offering sea kayaking, scuba diving trips to underwater caves and reef systems, and speedboat excursions to Kekova island where sunken ruins of the ancient city of Dolchiste remain partially submerged in shallow water—snorkellers explore directly above second-century Mediterranean ruins destroyed during an earthquake.
For cultural exploration, Xanthos—the ancient Lycian capital—sits 35 kilometres north, containing rock tombs, amphitheatres, and inscribed monuments spanning five centuries of Hellenistic civilization. Patara harbour, 20 kilometres distant, hosted the birth of St Nicholas (later bishop of nearby Myra), and served as the ancient seat of local government and rumoured birthplace of democratic administration in the region. The Lycian Way—a 500-kilometre hiking trail connecting ancient sites, unspoilt beaches, and mountain villages—begins 10 kilometres from Kas, with accessible day-walk segments ranging from 6 to 18 kilometres.
Fethiye, 60 kilometres west, provides a larger resort hub with expanded restaurant selection, shopping districts, and additional cultural sites including Oludeniz lagoon and Blue Lagoon boat tours. Kalkan, 12 kilometres south, functions as the nearest town with supermarket facilities, pharmacies, and seafood restaurants.

The region operates year-round, though seasonal variations significantly affect experience. June through September brings daytime temperatures of 28-32°C, Mediterranean blue skies, and peak tourist activity. May and October offer identical weather with fewer crowds. November through March brings cooler temperatures (15-18°C daytime), occasional rainfall, and near-empty beaches and archaeological sites. April and May display wildflower meadows and active bird migration.
Dalaman Airport, 90 kilometres south, connects via 90-minute road transfer. Istanbul Atatürk Airport (500 kilometres north) and Antalya Airport (200 kilometres west) provide additional entry points for international guests.
