Villa Kekik | 6-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Kas Kalkan

Twelve guests arrive at Villa Kekik expecting a comfortable holiday home on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast. What they discover instead is a six-bedroom sanctuary positioned above Kalkan, commanding panoramic views across two glittering bays while remaining just 20 minutes downhill from the town’s vibrant waterfront restaurants and cultural attractions. This luxury villa rental in Kas delivers the rare combination of complete seclusion and immediate access to coastal life.

Inside Villa Kekik

Villa Kekik sleeps 12 guests across 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, with each sleeping area designed to maximise both comfort and those uninterrupted Mediterranean vistas. The configuration spans three floors, each with distinct character and purpose.

The ground floor serves as the social heart of the property. An expansive open-plan living and dining room flows seamlessly into a fully-equipped kitchen featuring granite work surfaces, a full suite of modern appliances including dishwasher and fridge-freezer, plus generous countertop space for meal preparation. From this central hub, glass doors lead directly onto the terrace overlooking the pool and gardens. A guest bedroom with double bed and private en-suite shower room sits on this level, alongside a separate cloakroom for visitor convenience. The marble flooring throughout this area remains cool underfoot even on the warmest summer days.

The first floor contains three additional bedrooms. The first offers a double bed configuration with balcony access and an en-suite featuring a Jacuzzi bath—ideal for those seeking an extra touch of indulgence after exploring the hillside trails. The second bedroom mirrors this layout with double bed, balcony access, and en-suite shower facilities. The third bedroom on this level features twin single beds, matching balcony views, and an en-suite shower room. Each bedroom benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows positioned to capture the bay views across your morning coffee.

The second floor houses the master suite and a final guest bedroom. The master commands premium positioning with a double bed, private balcony access, and en-suite bathroom. The sixth bedroom continues the twin-bed configuration with its own balcony and en-suite, completing the accommodation. All bedrooms feature cream-coloured furnishings and minimal décor that allows those Mediterranean views to command your attention.

Air conditioning throughout maintains comfort during peak summer months, while Wi-Fi connectivity keeps you linked to home if required. The villa includes a washing machine and iron for extended stays, plus a safe for valuables. Entertainment options span a television with DVD and CD players, ensuring quieter evenings can be filled with your preferred media. High chairs and cots accommodate younger guests, making multi-generational holidays entirely manageable.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The garden and terrace arrangement transforms Villa Kekik into an outdoor living destination rather than a property that merely sits on land. The private infinity-style swimming pool measures 11.5 metres by 4.5 metres with a depth of 1.7 metres—spacious enough for simultaneous swimming and lounging, with heating available during shoulder seasons. A separate Jacuzzi positioned beside the pool offers an alternative for evening relaxation while the lights of Kalkan twinkle below.

A traditional Turkish kosk (covered seating pavilion) provides shaded respite during the hottest hours, while a pergola-sheltered poolside bar creates the perfect spot for midday drinks and light refreshments. The dining terrace adjacent to the kitchen accommodates group meals, and a functioning barbecue allows for Mediterranean grilling of fresh local produce. For guests seeking entertainment beyond the water and views, a table tennis table occupies one corner of the grounds—competitive matches become surprisingly absorbing when the sea provides your backdrop.

The terrace positioning means sunrise light reaches across the bays from your morning vantage point, while sunset transforms the limestone cliffs opposite into gradations of amber and rose. These hours—late evening especially—transform the property into something almost meditative, even as nearby Kalkan hums with restaurant activity below.

Location: Kas and the Surrounding Area

Kalkan itself, where Villa Kekik perches above, functions as the gateway to one of Turkey’s most compelling coastal regions. The town centre sits a manageable 20-minute downhill walk away, where narrow streets lined with traditional whitewashed houses lead to a picturesque harbourfront filled with wooden gulet sailboats and waterfront dining establishments. The old town retains authentic character—small boutiques and markets stock handmade textiles, ceramics and regional crafts rather than mass-produced souvenirs.

Kaputas Beach, approximately 8km south, ranks among the Turquoise Coast’s finest swimming spots, accessible via a dramatic staircase descent carved into the clifftside. The beach’s protected cove keeps waters notably calm compared to more exposed stretches. Patara Beach, roughly 20km further south, extends as a vast ribbon of golden sand backed by dunes and archaeological remains, offering both serious swimmers and those seeking solitude.

Kas town, 30 minutes by car, provides a larger resort infrastructure while maintaining genuine Turkish character. The harbour here bustles with boat operators offering gulet cruises, scuba diving expeditions, and sea kayaking excursions that visit otherwise inaccessible coves between here and Kalkan.

Inland, the Taurus Mountains create dramatic backdrops visible from Villa Kekik’s terraces. Saklikent Gorge, approximately 35km northeast, combines hiking through a narrow canyon with refreshment in ice-cold freshwater pools—a remarkable contrast to sea-level temperatures. The village of Islamlar sits high in these same mountains, famous specifically for traditional trout farming restaurants where water-fed pools supply kitchen-fresh fish for lunch.

Classical archaeology enthusiasts find remarkable density of sites within 40km: Patara’s Roman harbour and theatre; Xanthos, capital of ancient Lycia, with its distinctive pillar tombs; Tlos, a fortified acropolis commanding valley views; and Letoon, a sacred sanctuary dedicated to Leto in classical mythology, all accessible as half or full-day excursions.

The region operates year-round, though May through September offers guaranteed sunshine and calm seas ideal for water activities. April and October provide warm temperatures without summer crowds, making these shoulder months excellent for walking and archaeological exploration. Winter sees occasional rain but rarely prevents outdoor activities.
