Villa Marti | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Dalaman

Kalkan sits on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast like a jewel in an oyster—a harbourside town where Ottoman architecture meets Mediterranean light, where 150 restaurants spill onto terrace tables, and where the Kalamar Bay glimmers below ancient hillsides. Villa Marti occupies one of those hillsides, a three-storey architect-designed luxury villa rental in Kalkan that commands panoramic sea views and accommodates up to 10 guests across five en-suite bedrooms. This is the kind of property where families arrive intending a quiet week and find themselves planning their return the moment they leave.

Inside Villa Marti

Villa Marti sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, distributed across three distinct floor levels. Each bedroom features its own en-suite facilities—a luxury that eliminates queue-time and maximises comfort for groups.

The ground floor serves as the villa’s social spine. A fully equipped kitchen sits adjacent to an open-plan living and dining zone, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the bay as a permanent feature wall. The marble-floored main living area contains generous seating and a wall-mounted television, while sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between interior and the pool terrace beyond. The ground floor also contains one of the bedrooms: a twin room with a dressing area, en-suite bathroom, and direct pool terrace access—ideal for guests who prefer ground-level convenience or parents who want morning supervision of the pool area. A guest cloakroom rounds out this level.

Ascending to the first floor reveals three en-suite double bedrooms. The master bedroom features a king-size bed, walk-in shower, and a freestanding jacuzzi bath positioned to capture the sea view—the kind of bathroom where you lose track of time. A second double bedroom and a twin bedroom complete this floor, each with en-suite facilities, dressing areas, and individual balconies overlooking the bay. The first floor is where couples and elder guests typically gravitate, valuing the mid-level position and the privacy of furnished balconies.

The second floor houses the fifth bedroom, a double with en-suite bathroom and a dedicated private terrace equipped with sun loungers and unobstructed sea views. This floor functions as a peaceful retreat—far enough from the main activity to feel like a separate apartment, yet connected to the villa’s collective experience.

Climate control, Wi-Fi connectivity, and security systems (CCTV and alarm) operate throughout, while a washing machine and dishwasher handle the practical demands of hosting ten guests. Private parking accommodates your rental car, eliminating the need to navigate Kalkan’s narrow harbour streets.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The terrace is where Villa Marti reveals its true character. An infinity pool measuring approximately 9 metres by 4.5 metres with a 1.6-metre depth occupies the central position, its separate jacuzzi section allowing intimate soaking while the full pool accommodates family swimming and recreation. The water reflects the sky and the bay beyond—a visual continuum that makes the boundary between pool and sea almost imperceptible.

Sun loungers and parasols ring the pool deck, their positioning calculated to capture shade during the afternoon heat while maximising morning sun exposure. A built-in barbecue sits ready for evening entertaining, while a separate lounge area with soft furnishings creates the kind of space where conversations extend from sunset through starrise. Mature trees and shrubs populate the walled grounds, providing organic privacy and filtering the intensity of midday heat. The upper private terrace on the second floor offers an alternative gathering space for those who prefer quiet observation over active participation.

At just 75 metres from the sea, the villa’s relationship with water is immediate. Kalamar Beach Club and Kulube Beach Club sit within walking distance, their platforms and restaurants accessible without requiring the car. The proximity makes spontaneous swimming trips feasible—morning dips before breakfast, afternoon excursions after lunch, evening swims when the light turns gold.

Location: Kalkan and the Surrounding Area

Kalkan evolved from a Greek settlement called Kalamaki into an Ottoman harbour town, and both influences persist in its architecture and culture. The cobbled streets of the old town contain whitewashed houses with blue shutters, while overhead, bougainvillaea cascades from balconies in magenta and pink. This is a living working town, not a museum piece—the Thursday market supplies locals and visitors alike with fresh produce and provisions, while the 150-plus restaurants range from traditional meyhanes serving grilled fish to contemporary kitchens experimenting with Mediterranean fusion.

Beaches define the region. Kalkan’s own pebble beach offers organized sun loungers and easy Mediterranean entry, while Kaputas Beach—just 8km south—occupies a dramatic natural gorge requiring 200 steps down and 200 back up. The effort yields a reward: a crescent of sand and turquoise water enclosed by limestone cliffs. Patara Beach extends for 20 kilometres of largely unspoilt golden sand, 35km away along the D400 coast road, and serves as a protected nesting ground for endangered Caretta Caretta sea turtles. The sunsets from Patara’s shifting sand dunes achieve the kind of chromatic intensity that makes photography feel redundant—your eyes are the better camera.

Archaeological sites layer history across the landscape. Patara itself harbors a 2,000-year-old city with two intact amphitheatres, while the nearby Lycian settlements of Xanthos, Letoon, Tlos, Sidyma, and Pinara represent centuries of Hellenic, Roman, and Byzantine settlement. The Lycian Way walking trail cuts through Kalkan itself, threading together these ancient sites over dramatic coastlines and through traditional villages. For a deeper immersion in antiquity, Fethiye (50km north, approximately 1 hour’s drive) contains extensive ruins and a celebrated fish market, while the smaller harbour town of Kas (25km west) presents Ottoman streetscapes, traditional restaurants serving authentic Turkish cuisine with sea views, and a 20-minute ferry connection to the Greek island of Meis—where the Blue Cave awaits swimmers and restaurants serve dinner at the water’s edge under candlelight.

Water-based activities dominate the calendar. Gulet charters departing from Kalkan harbour offer full-day sailing experiences with swimming, snorkelling in sheltered bays, meze meals prepared aboard, and the inevitable sunset return with cocktail in hand. Shared water taxis depart the harbour regularly toward exclusive beach clubs. Dalaman Airport, approximately 90km north via the Taurus Mountains (typically 1.5 hours’ drive), provides international access.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended family gatherings of 8-10 people find Villa Marti’s bedroom distribution and private terraces particularly effective—multiple bedrooms across three floors mean that teenage children, adult siblings, and grandparents can each find appropriate accommodation and privacy. The ground-floor twin bedroom proves invaluable for those with mobility constraints or who prefer avoiding stairs.

Multi-generational groups benefit from the infrastructure: the pool encourages grandchildren to play while grandparents supervise from loungers; the barbecue brings everyone to the terrace for evening meals; separate terraces allow introverts to retreat without feeling isolated.

Groups of friends—especially those planning active days outdoors with quiet evenings indoors—appreciate the proximity to hiking, water sports, and archaeology. The kitchen and dining facilities support group self-catering, though hiring a private chef transforms the experience.

Couples seeking privacy within a villa context can occupy the second-floor bedroom with its private terrace, effectively creating a separate sanctuary while maintaining access to shared facilities.

Families with children discover that Kalamar’s beach clubs, the nearby Kulube Beach Club pool, and Villa Marti’s own pool create multiple water-play options suitable for different age groups and energy levels.
