Villa Kapla | 3-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Kalkan, Kas Kalkan

Picture yourself standing on a rooftop terrace in Kalkan, Turkey, watching the Mediterranean fade to bronze as the sun disappears behind distant peaks. This is where Villa Kapla positions its guests—on a hillside above one of Turkey’s most enchanting coastal towns, where three bedrooms and three full bathrooms accommodate six people in the kind of refined comfort that makes returning home feel like leaving paradise. This luxury villa rental in Kalkan brings together contemporary design, thoughtful amenities, and views that justify every moment spent here.

Inside Villa Kapla

Villa Kapla sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, distributed across four floors of meticulously designed living space. The architecture unfolds vertically, each level offering distinct experiences rather than repetitive corridors.

Ground Level: The Entertainment Zone begins with a dedicated cinema room—the kind of retreat where adults reclaim childlike enthusiasm for film nights. A large projection screen dominates one wall, bluetooth sound bar integrated above it, while scattered bean bags and upholstered seating invite hours of immersion. Adjacent sits a compact kitchenette for snacks and drinks during viewing marathons. The gym occupies another section, equipped with a treadmill, stationary bike, pilates mat, and training balls—useful for guests who refuse vacations to interrupt fitness routines. The heated indoor pool occupies this level’s premium position, its temperature controllable for year-round swimming and recovery after morning exercise sessions.

First Floor: The Social Hub centers on an open-plan living and dining arrangement. The sitting room connects directly to the pool terrace through patio doors, with a television offering Netflix access and English satellite channels for those moments when Mediterranean relaxation requires familiar content. The dining area accommodates six comfortably around a proper table—important for families or groups who value shared meals. The fully equipped kitchen commands this floor’s sightlines: a striking blue cabinetry setup with professional-grade appliances transforms meal preparation into something guests actually anticipate. The kitchen’s open design means cooking becomes a social activity rather than kitchen-exile; guests perch on nearby seating, wine glasses in hand, while your private chef (available on request) works nearby.

Second Floor: Dual Bedroom Suites split into contrasting options. The master double bedroom features a dressing area for unpacking properly, an ensuite shower room with twin basins (practical for couples), and—this matters—a freestanding jacuzzi bath positioned to frame a sea-view balcony. Soaking in hot water while watching sailboats move across the bay below transforms bathing into meditation. The second bedroom offers twin beds instead of a double, with its own ensuite shower room and balcony access; ideal for friends traveling together or teenage children wanting independence from parents.

Third Floor: The Master Retreat culminates in a large double bedroom with a freestanding bathtub (not a jacuzzi—just pure, sculptural elegance) and ensuite shower room. What distinguishes this suite is its furnished roof terrace: built-in seating beneath a pergola, a minibar fridge for chilled drinks, scattered mattresses for afternoon reading, and unobstructed sightlines across the Kalkan hillside toward the sea. This is where you watch sunrise while the town still sleeps below.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The exterior of Villa Kapla justifies the rental cost alone. The primary swimming pool measures 4 meters by 8 meters with 1.55-meter depth—substantial enough for actual swimming rather than wading. Integral jacuzzi nozzles line one edge, creating a transition between swimming and relaxation. Grecian steps descend gradually on one end, while a shallow sunbathing zone features sculpted loungers submerged in water—the Mediterranean equivalent of a beach without leaving the property. Beyond the pool’s edge, a wooden platform holds sunbathing beds large enough for two. A substantial sofa anchors the lounging zone, while a six-seat dining table with an attached barbecue covers alfresco dining needs. An outdoor shower allows rinsing chlorine away before returning to air-conditioned interiors. Sheltered parking below handles vehicles securely.

The terrace layout creates distinct zones: the lower level functions as pool-and-dining territory, while the upper roof terrace becomes an aperitif lounge, its fridge-equipped bar perfect for sunset cocktails. The sight lines from every exterior space sweep downward toward Kalkan Bay—water that shifts from turquoise to cobalt depending on light and weather.

Location: Kalkan, Kas and the Surrounding Area

Kalkan occupies a particularly privileged position along Turkey’s Mediterranean coast. This fishing village has resisted overdevelopment despite its acclaim; narrow streets still wind between whitewashed stone buildings, bougainvillea cascades down walls in magenta profusion, and the harbor remains genuinely working—traditional wooden gulets and modern sailing yachts share mooring space with fishing boats preparing daily catches. The town operates as a vertical maze of restaurants, boutiques, and atmospheric bars stacked up the hillside. Over 350 restaurants operate in Kalkan, ranging from simple waterfront mezze establishments to Michelin-standard establishments hidden in courtyard alcoves. Turkish specialties—fresh grilled fish, wood-fired kebabs, herbed spreads, crisp salads with pomegranate molasses—dominate every menu.

Nearby beaches reward short excursions: Patara Beach (8km south) stretches for 18 kilometers of golden sand, historically significant as ancient Lycia’s principal port and now a nesting ground for endangered loggerhead turtles during summer months. Kaputas Beach (12km east) compresses dramatic Mediterranean scenery into a compact cove, with a short scramble down limestone cliffs leading to turquoise shallows. Kalamar Bay (2km) hosts the Kalkan Dive Centre and Aqua Sports, where scuba diving, jet ski rental, and private boat hire operate from shore-side platforms. Kas, 25 kilometers east, functions as Kalkan’s quieter cousin—similarly charming, similarly expensive, similarly worth a day-trip for its underwater museum and rival restaurant scene.

Boat excursions from Kalkan harbor access Kekova (40km east), one of Turkey’s most photographed seascapes: sunken Lycian ruins visible through glass-bottom boats, Byzantine churches emerging from hillsides, isolated coves where swimming stops punctuate day-long gulet voyages. Sunset cruises and moonlight sails depart nightly during summer months; romantic and moderately expensive, they represent Kalkan’s quintessential evening activity. Explore our luxury villas in Turkey and our full collection in Kalkan and Kas for additional regional options.

Cultural excursions access Patara’s archaeological site (8km), where a recently restored parliament building and Roman baths provide tangible connections to Lycian civilization. Kayakoy (35km), the “ghost village,” preserves hundreds of abandoned Greek-style stone houses—depopulated during the 1923 Turkish-Greek population exchange, now a haunting museum of early-20th-century displacement. Saklikent Gorge (50km), Turkey’s second-longest canyon at 18 kilometers, channels frigid mountain water through a 300-meter-deep cleft; visitors wade waist-deep through icy water, climbing and swimming through sculpted limestone passages.

Seasonal timing matters significantly. May through June brings warm weather (27-30°C) without August’s peak tourist volumes or July’s humidity. September maintains warmth while crowds thin considerably. October still offers swimming-friendly temperatures (24-26°C). Winter (December-February) delivers mild weather perfect for hiking and exploration but cools water to non-swimming temperatures. Avoid August unless you specifically enjoy crowded beaches and restaurant queues.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families discover Villa Kapla’s three separate bedroom suites valuable: parents occupy the master suite’s privacy while teenage children get their own twin-bed space, grandparents control the rooftop terrace sanctuary. Groups of friends appreciate the casual kitchen-and-pool configuration for afternoon drinking sessions and dinner-party energy. Couples seeking multi-generational travel—perhaps with adult children and grandchildren—utilize the flexible sleeping arrangements. Professionals escaping urban environments benefit from the gym, cinema room, and quiet rooftop spaces; the villa functions equally well as a working retreat with strong Wi-Fi connectivity and video-conferencing infrastructure. The combination of entertainment options and privacy zones suits families with children aged 8+ (the pool requires supervision for younger swimmers, though heating and shallows minimize risk).

Frequently Asked Questions about Villa Kapla

How many guests does Villa Kapla sleep?

Villa Kapla accommodates 6 guests maximum across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The master suite provides a king bed with ensuite bath. The second floor offers a twin-bed room with ensuite. The third floor features another king bed with ensuite shower and standalone bathtub. No additional sofa beds or roll-aways increase capacity.

What is the nearest airport to Villa Kapla in Kalkan, Kas?

Dalaman Airport lies 90 kilometers south (approximately 90-minute drive). Antalya Airport, 130 kilometers west, offers more international flight options (approximately 2-hour drive). Villa staff arrange vehicle transfers from either airport. Private vehicle rental provides greater flexibility for regional exploration but isn’t essential given organized taxi and transfer services.

What is the best time of year to rent Villa Kapla?

May through June offers ideal conditions: warm weather (27-30°C), moderate crowds, excellent swimming conditions, and peak wildflower displays across surrounding hillsides. September-October extends this window with continued warmth (24-26°C) and thinner tourist concentrations. July and August maximize heat and visitor volume. Winter (November-March) cools to 15-18°C daytime highs—pleasant for hiking but inadequate for pool use, though cultural exploration and uncrowded restaurant experiences appeal to some travelers.

Is Villa Kapla suitable for families with children?

Yes, with considerations. The heated indoor pool and shallow exterior zones accommodate children ages 8 and above comfortably; younger swimmers require constant supervision. Kalkan’s pebbly harbor beach (2km) suits families, though Patara Beach’s gentler sand and shallow entry prove more family-friendly for small children. The cinema room, table tennis, and diverse activity options (boat trips, kayaking, quieter beaches) keep children engaged. Multiple bathrooms reduce morning complications. Private chef service removes meal-planning stress. The absence of cliffs, exposed pool edges, or dangerous terrain within the villa property itself eliminates major hazards.

What is included in the rental price at Villa Kapla?

Standard inclusions cover air conditioning, Wi-Fi internet, heated indoor pool access, all linens and towels, basic weekly cleaning (mid-stay refreshes available), and pool maintenance. Utilities (electricity, water, gas) are included. Optional services available at supplementary cost include daily or twice-weekly housekeeping, private chef or cook services, breakfast provision, full-property catering, grocery pre-stocking, and concierge assistance with dining reservations and activity bookings. Transfers from Dalaman or Antalya airports can be arranged; costs depend on party size and vehicle choice.

What restaurants and shops are near Villa Kapla?

Kalkan town center (2km downhill) concentrates the majority of dining and shopping. Restaurant density exceeds 350 establishments, with seafood and Turkish specialties predominating. Mermerli Restaurant occupies prime harbor positions. Chez Evy serves Mediterranean cuisine with Lycian influences. D-Marin Turgutreis Marina hosts upscale establishments. Local markets operate in town center for produce, cheese, and prepared goods. Patara (8km south) offers additional dining and beach-adjacent restaurants. Kas (25km east) provides comparable services with potentially quieter ambience. The villa’s location hillside above town means walking to restaurants requires either downhill effort (easier) or uphill return (more strenuous); taxi service (€3-5) remains inexpensive for evening dining.
