Villa Ceren Turkey

Villa Ceren is a modern and substantial seven-bedroom villa with spectacular sea and island views. This established house is located in a pleasant and quiet residential area of Kiziltas, less than ten minutes by car from the centre of Kalkan- arguably the most picturesque harbour town on the southwest coast of Turkey.
Among its finest features are the dramatic infinity pool with glorious sea views over the Bay of Kalkan. Bathe effortlessly in your pool paradise while sea gazing under the intense Turkish sun. The pool deck and spacious terrace is comfortably furnished with a scattering of day beds and parasols. The roomy alfresco dining area is sheltered under a pergola, creating an ideal spot for barbecuing and dining under the moonlight. The entire outside space is walled with thick jasmine and sprawling bougainvillea creating a peaceful oasis in which to relax and unwind.
Generously proportioned and built on three floors, the house has been designed to maximise the sea views from every aspect. The large, cool interiors have a neutral palette creating a tasteful and laid back ambience. The open plan kitchen, dining and living space is enormous and made for socialising on cooler days at the beginning and end of season. Double Height glass windows create an airy feel throughout and imbibe the magnificent seascape beyond. Bifold doors provide a feeling of inside-outside living and it’s effortless to drift between the two spaces.
Each of the seven bedrooms are en-suite, air conditioned and located on the first and second floors. Minimalist interior design is aesthetically pleasing and creates a feeling of light throughout. Five bedrooms are double, with yet more views out to sea. There are also two twin rooms ideal for children sharing.
The large roof terrace provides a bird’s eye view of Kalkan and the most awe inspiring sweeping views across the bay and tumbling terrain. A place to sit back and enjoy a little slice of paradise while sipping a glass of wine or two! Villa Ceren is an excellent choice for several families taking a holiday together, or a large group of friends, its spacious and modern with all the facilities you could need to create a memorable holiday.Kalkan is a fabulous find for a summer holiday. Once an old fishing village, today it has grown into an elegant harbourside holiday destination attracting a discerning clientele. The town rises from an idyllic seafront setting and has retained much of its traditional charm due to strict conservation restrictions. Small and Niche, Kalkan is well-known for it’s Ottoman Greek architecture, pretty pebble beach, bare-foot beach clubs, authentic Thursday market and especially famous for its rooftop restaurants.
Kalkan isn’t necessarily the most obvious beach resort, featuring just one pebble beach near the harbour. However, there are several excellent beach clubs peppered around the bay and they are very much a place for gathering as well as relaxing by the seafront. Cleverly built into the rockface are wooden and stone platforms dressed with teak day beds and fluttering parasols. Steps lead into the crystal clear water and hours can easily be spent sea gazing under the shade of an olive tree or socialising at the low-key waterfront bar.
A wide range of water sports are available from the local centre including wake-boarding, jet-skiing, and paddle boarding. Lessons are also offered for anyone who wants to brush up on their skills or try something new. Diving is another popular sporting activity in Kalkan, the team are based in Kalamar and there are options to enjoy a full certified course, just give it a try and tailor made trips to one of the fourteen reefs.
Back on land, you might want to head into the mountains and explore remote rural villages such as Saribelen and Bezirgan or go further afield to the Emerald Lake in Gombe. You don’t have to go too far to experience an insight into real rural Turkish Life and the scenery is magnificently varied.
Kalkan sits in the heart of ancient Lycia and the area is sprinkled with ancient cultural sites. With so many within a short distance it is worth visiting one or two and combining the day with a trip to a less discovered beach.
Throughout the entire region there is an incredible amount to offer, sun-drenched beaches, magnificent wildlife, awe-inspring scenery and a colourful history.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
