Villa Elmas Turkey

The stylish and contemporary Villa Elmas is one of the finest villas in Kalkan. Set on the hillside above Kalkan and Kalamar bays, it offers a unique combination of jaw-dropping views, cooling sea breezes and luxurious facilities, yet it is only 15 minutes walk to Kalkan with its wonderful mix of roof-top and waterside restaurants, friendly bars, and eclectic shops.
The infinity pool is generously sized for a private villa and is connected to an equally sized shallow pool via a waterfall. Three spacious terraces on different levels furnished with 14 sun loungers, sofas, and easy chairs provide the perfect spaces to relax in the Mediterranean sunshine and enjoy the mesmerising views. In the evening, subtle outdoor lighting brings alive the private bar, traditional Turkish kosk, and marble dining table for those late sundowner drinks and lazy meals under the stars. While the villa’s own sauna, steam room, and indoor and outdoor Jacuzzis offer wonderful opportunities to unwind and enjoy these spa facilities.
Inside this white-themed villa the luxury continues. Each room has a wall of glass to maximise the panoramic sea and mountain views, full air-con and cool marble floors. The huge open-plan living area on the middle floor has two lounge areas with seating for 15 people, an impressive kitchen diner, furnished balconies and the modern conveniences you would expect of this exclusive villa. All five double bedrooms have ensuite wet-room bathrooms, walk-in wardrobes and direct access to a sun terrace. The villa also has a guest bathroom and laundry room.
As you would expect from such a villa, Elmas boasts many other facilities, including table tennis, table football, exercise equipment, WIFI, Wii games, satellite TV, music centres, pool games, telephone, BBQ, water cooler, safe, daily bread delivery and the luxury of a chef for the evening.Villa Elmas can be found in the exclusive residential area of Ortolaan, at the top of the quaint harbour town of Kalkan, situated on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, the jewel of the Mediterranean Sea. The villa is ideally located overlooking the bays of Kalkan and Kalamar, benefiting from dual-aspect sea views, and easy access to the best beach clubs.
The town of Kalkan is a scenic one and a half hour journey from Dalaman Airport through the Turkish countryside and Taurus mountains. Originally a Greek enclave called Kalamaki, Ottoman and Hellenic influences can be found in the winding cobbled streets of the old town, full of traditional white houses, festooned with brightly coloured bougainvillea. Kalkan is home to a reputed one hundred and fifty restaurants, cafes, and bars, and lots of souvenir and craft shops, full of goodies you’ll want to take home. It is a short walk from the villa to the local mini market for your daily provisions. Take a three minute drive into Kalkan where you can find supermarkets, shops, banks, and a fabulous Thursday market selling fresh local produce and hand-crafted souvenirs.
The nearest beach can be found five minutes’ drive away by the harbour, alternatively hop on one of the many private water taxis to whisk you away to a beach club of your choice. There are fifteen very different beach clubs populating the Kalkan coastline, from the sophisticated Villa Mahal and laid back Indigo, to the family friendly Kalkan Beach Park and the beautifully staged Zest with its huge adult and kids’ infinity pools. Travel further afield to the stunning Kaputas Beach, set in a natural gorge, it’s only two hundred steps down, and two hundred back up again. Or take a trip to Patara, where you will find two two-thousand year old amphitheatres, ancient ruins, and fortifications, and twenty kilometres of unspoilt golden sands, with a protected area for the hatching Caretta Caretta turtles. No stay in Kalkan is complete without a boat trip from the harbour, whether it’s a shared one with family and friends, or why not charter your own private gulet for a day at sea with your favourite captain and crew, it is the stuff memories are made of. All aboard for a day of swimming and snorkelling in beautiful bays, enjoy a meal of local homecooked meze, afternoon tea aboard, then sail back to harbour, cocktail in hand, to watch the famous sunsets. Back on dry land, don’t miss the opportunity to experience an authentic Turkish hammam, enjoy the heat and bubbles of a hands-on massage, and be pampered in one of the many super spas all over town.
For those with itchy feet the Lycian Way walking trail cuts through Kalkan. Follow in the footsteps of thousands of years of history, as you trek the trail taking you through major archaeological sites, local villages, dramatic coastlines, and the areas’ flora and fauna. Take a short journey to the town of Kinik, where you can step back in time to the Lycian city of Xanthos. Follow the D400 to Fethiye, and discover the historical sites of Patara, Letoon, Tlos, and Pinara, where you can see the ancient ruins, amphitheatres and temples with Lycian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine influences. The harbour town of Fethiye is also full of ancient sites worth seeing, as well as a foodie-heaven fish market, and home to some seriously good designer label shopping. The nearer town of Kas is just twenty-five kilometres in the other direction, it’s worth the journey alone along one of the world’s most stunning and dramatic coastlines. Walk through the harbour to the cobbled streets full of Ottoman architecture and overhanging balconies festooned with pastel coloured bougainvillaea, barter for unique handmade and antique goods in its many shops, and make memories dining in one of the traditional restaurants serving authentic Turkish cuisine with mesmerising sea views. If you are feeling intercontinental, hop on the twenty-minute ferry from Kas to the Greek island of Meis, known locally as Kastellorizo, where you can swim in the beautiful Blue Cave, then dine alfresco under a Grecian sky by the water’s edge.We can usually put you in touch with the right people arrange any of the following:
