Villa Semra | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Kas Dalaman

Kaş has transformed from a quiet fishing village into one of Turkey’s most sought-after coastal destinations, and Villa Semra sits at the heart of why discerning travellers choose this corner of the Turquoise Coast. Positioned in the olive-studded hills of Kiziltas, this five-bedroom luxury villa rental in Kaş commands views that sweep across Mediterranean waters and the terracotta rooftops of the town below—the kind of vista that justifies lingering over coffee until mid-morning. Ten guests spread across five ensuite bathrooms means no bathroom queues, no compromise, just the kind of space that turns a week away into an actual escape.

Inside Villa Semra

Villa Semra sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, arranged across three distinct levels that work with the hillside topography rather than against it. The ground floor centres on an open-plan living and dining area—kitchen, lounge, and dining in one flowing space designed for the kind of gathering where conversations stretch across rooms. The fully equipped kitchen sits ready for either self-catering or for a private chef to take command; it includes a hob, oven, fridge-freezer, and coffee and tea stations, plus a water cooler for those mid-afternoon rehydrations. The dining table seats eight comfortably, and beyond it, floor-to-ceiling windows frame the sea view as your tablecloth.

Ascending to the first floor brings you to three double bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. These rooms breathe with a contemporary minimalism—soft colour palettes, natural wood accents, and the kind of quiet that only happens when you’re 125 kilometres from the nearest airport. One master bedroom offers a freestanding soaking tub positioned to capture morning light, a dressing area, and an ensuite shower room; a shared balcony extends the bedroom into the outdoors. The second double features an ensuite shower and its own sea-view balcony. The third—a twin bedroom—also has ensuite facilities and access to a shared side balcony. These aren’t afterthought rooms; each receives deliberate design attention and unobstructed views.

The lower ground floor—accessible via the internal staircase—contains two additional bedrooms that justify this villa’s ten-person capacity. One features a dramatic four-poster bed with an open-plan shower room and dual vanities; the other is a twin configuration with ensuite shower and its own balcony. Between these bedrooms sits the heated indoor swimming pool (9 metres by 3 metres), transforming winter visits from potentially grey into genuinely swimmable. Beyond the pool, a fitness area, traditional hammam (Turkish steam bath), and sauna occupy dedicated wellness space—the kind of amenities that distinguish a villa rental from a standard holiday let.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step outside and the landscape becomes the real architecture. The infinity-edge swimming pool sits on wooden decking with in-water sunbeds—the ones that submerge when you lie on them—positioned to face the Mediterranean. A pergola-covered dining and seating area runs adjacent, protected from direct sun but open to the breeze that carries salt air up from the harbour. The terrace sprawls across the southern face of the villa, the kind of space where breakfast becomes a three-hour ritual and evening drinks extend into dinner without anyone moving. An outdoor shower stands ready after morning swims. A built-in barbecue, plus substantial table-tennis and billiards tables positioned in weatherproof zones, mean activity-planning solves itself. A garage accommodates one vehicle. Throughout the grounds, wi-fi reaches reliably, and air conditioning keeps interior temperatures consistent against Mediterranean heat.

The view itself—this bears repeating—holds the entire property together. From multiple vantage points, you track the angle of light across water, watch the fishing boats motor between Kaş harbour and the open sea, and in evening hours, observe Kalkan’s rooftop restaurants illuminate in the distance (Kalkan sits roughly 6 kilometres west along the coast). The grounds feel simultaneously private and connected to the broader landscape; this is hillside living, not walled-compound living.

Location: Kaş and the Surrounding Area

Kaş occupies a particular position on Turkey’s southern coast—close enough to major cultural attractions to justify day trips, remote enough to feel genuinely removed from mainstream tourism. The town itself wraps around a working harbour where fishing boats, gulet sailing yachts, and tourist excursions depart daily. Ottoman-era architecture mingles with contemporary cafés; boutique shops line narrow streets that climb from the waterfront. The harbourside hosts approximately 120 restaurants and bars, ranging from family-run meyhanes serving meze and fresh fish, to contemporary venues with wine lists sourcing from Turkish regions like Cappadocia and the Aegean. Kalkan, 6 kilometres west, adds another 40-odd dining venues with a marginally more upscale reputation, though both towns share the advantage of genuine local cooking rather than tourist-focused menus.

The Lycian Way—a 540-kilometre trekking route connecting Mediterranean villages—passes directly through this region, offering hiking access to ancient ruins. Patara, 25 kilometres southeast, contains Lycian tomb monuments, a Roman theatre carved into hillside, and a 12-kilometre beach that ranks among Turkey’s most pristine. Xanthos, another 10 kilometres inland, served as the capital of ancient Lycia; both sites remain substantially excavated and visitable without overwhelming crowds. Kas itself occupies the Lycian heartland, meaning ancient carvings and stone structures appear in town walls, gardens, and the breakwater. A 20-minute ferry from Kaş harbour reaches Meis (Kastellorizo), the Greek island with the famous Blue Grotto, colourful harbourside houses, and exceptional sea urchin risotto in waterfront tavernas.

Dalaman Airport, 125 kilometres northeast, connects to European hubs; the drive takes approximately 2.5 hours via the D400 coastal highway. The regional supermarket, Migros, sits 3 kilometres downhill toward Kaş town centre. Water-sports operators at the harbour rent boats for independent exploration of Butterfly Valley, sea caves, and unnamed coves accessible only by water. The Mediterranean climate delivers near-guaranteed sunshine from May through October; July and August bring heat (35°C+) and European tourists seeking relief. June and September offer warmth with fewer crowds and calmer seas. The winter season (November to March) sees reduced visitor numbers and cooler but stable weather, ideal for hiking and those seeking solitude.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational families find Villa Semra valuable—the five ensuite bathrooms eliminate morning bathroom politics, while the tiered layout means teenagers occupy different spaces to adults, reducing friction. Groups of friends dividing the cost across ten people often discover the price-per-person becomes genuinely affordable, particularly outside peak summer. Couples seeking an indulgent week benefit from the master suite’s freestanding bath and the quietness that comes with empty bedrooms around you. Corporate retreats and small business gatherings appreciate the wi-fi reliability, spacious dining and meeting areas, and the productivity-killing appeal of the view (in the best way). Those with mobility considerations should note that the three-level layout includes internal stairs; accessibility planning is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions About Villa Semra

How many guests does Villa Semra sleep?

Villa Semra accommodates 10 guests across 5 bedrooms. The bedroom breakdown comprises three double bedrooms on the first floor (each with ensuite bathrooms), one four-poster double on the lower ground floor (with open-plan shower and dual vanities), and one twin bedroom on the lower ground floor (with ensuite bathroom). Each bedroom has dedicated bathroom facilities; there is no sharing required regardless of guest configuration.

What is the nearest airport to Villa Semra in Kaş?

Dalaman Airport (DLM) sits 125 kilometres northeast of Villa Semra, approximately 2.5 hours by car via the D400 highway. This is the primary international gateway for the Turquoise Coast region, with direct flights from most Western European cities, Istanbul, and Ankara. Private transfer services can be arranged, or rental cars provide flexibility for exploring surrounding areas including Kalkan, Patara, and Xanthos.

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

June and September offer the ideal balance—Mediterranean temperatures reaching 28-32°C, sea water warm enough for comfortable swimming, and notably fewer tourists than July-August. May and October extend the season with pleasant conditions and lower prices. Winter (November to March) brings cooler weather (12-16°C) but clear skies, minimal rainfall, and excellent conditions for hiking the Lycian Way and visiting archaeological sites without summer heat. July and August are hot (35°C+) and crowded, though ideal if peak-season crowds hold no concern.

Is Villa Semra suitable for families with children?

Yes. The heated indoor pool allows year-round swimming for younger children, while the private terrace and outdoor pool provide safe supervised spaces. Patara Beach, 25 kilometres southeast, offers 12 kilometres of sand in a protected nature reserve—ideal for young children and families. The town of Kaş itself contains playgrounds and waterfront cafés with relaxed atmospheres tolerant of families. However, the three-level layout with internal stairs requires supervision of very young children. The region has reliable medical facilities in Kaş town (3 kilometres away) and larger hospitals in Fethiye (65 kilometres west).

What is included in the rental price at Villa Semra?

The rental price includes wi-fi throughout the villa, air conditioning, heating for both the indoor and outdoor pools, sauna and hammam access, bed linen, bath towels, and standard kitchen equipment. Utilities (electricity, water, gas) are included. A pre-stocked fridge with essentials can be arranged in advance. Maid service, private chef services, catering, and airport transfers are available at additional cost and should be requested at the time of booking.

What restaurants and shops are near Villa Semra?

Kaş town centre, 3 kilometres downhill, contains approximately 120 restaurants and bars, including fish restaurants overlooking the harbour (Chez Evy is a long-standing favourite for fresh catch), meyhanes serving traditional Turkish meze (Bi’Lokma), and contemporary venues with international menus. Kalkan, 6 kilometres along the coast, adds another 40 establishments, many with Michelin-guide recognition or chef-driven menus. The local Migros supermarket (3 kilometres away) stocks fresh produce, wine, and international goods. Kaş harbour itself functions as a daily fish market in early morning hours (5-7 AM), where local boats unload the previous night’s catch—worth visiting for the spectacle and opportunity to purchase directly from fishermen.
