Villa Melek Turkey

Close to the vibrant port town of Fethiye and perched in the picturesque village of Ovacik, this four-bedroom villa with a private pool provides the perfect family-friendly holiday on Turkey’s Lycian Coast. Nestled in a rural location, you’ll be treated to peaceful surrounds and stunning views of Babadag Mountain. Plus, the villa boasts modern and spacious interiors for a relaxing home-from-home stay.
Villa Melek is as impressive on the outside as it is on the inside. It’s traditionally Mediterranean in style with whitewashed walls, feature columns and has its own entrance and driveway. Inside, there’s a comfortable open-plan living, dining and kitchen area on the ground level with cushioned sofas and chairs and a large glass window overlooking the terrace, garden and pool area. Enjoy your breakfast with mountain vistas or relax after a day of exploring watching the plasma television.
Going up the stairs onto the first floor, you’ll find two large double bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and balcony. On the next level, there’s the attic floor, with two more inviting double bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms and a private roof terrace. There’s plenty of places for you to store your holiday belongings and the natural-hued fabrics give the impression of light and space.
Outside, the sun terrace is dotted with plants and shrubs, and there’s a private swimming pool and cushioned sun loungers and chairs around the edges. You can sunbathe or sit relaxing with a cooling drink while enjoying the fantastic green views. By night, the pool and grounds are lit up so you can carry on swimming, chatting or reading into the evening hours.
With Hisaronu, Fethiye and Olu Deniz all within reach, with plenty of shops, restaurants and cultural sites, this villa is perfect for families, friends or couples who’d like to enjoy a quiet, relaxing holiday with plenty of things to do and see nearby. Think sandy swimming beaches, impressive ancient tombs and serene walking trails. Villa Melek is in Ovacık, a small village in the Fethiye district, Muğla Province, South West Turkey. The villa is set in a rural and quiet spot and is perfect for escaping any hustle and bustle. If you’d like to venture out, it’s only a short walk to the holiday resort of Hisarönü with local restaurants and bars where you can try authentic Turkish cuisine like Iskender Kebab, slices of lamb doner,  served on cubes of bread with yoghurt & clarified butter.
The village is on a small plateau at the foot of Babadağ Mountain, a favourite spot for paragliders. You can head to the open-air market on Mondays in Hisarönü where you can pick up fresh local food and handmade goods, or drive ten minutes to Ölüdeniz and swim in the famous blue lagoon or relax on Belcekız Beach, with crystal-clear waters and a soft, white sandy shoreline.
The vibrant and lively town of Fethiye is also just ten minutes away by car, and there you’ll find a shopping centre, alongside more shops, restaurants and cultural sites. Head to the harbour lined with restaurants overlooked by rock tombs including the 4th-century B.C. Tomb of Amyntas. There’s also an amazing fish market where you chose your fish from one of the many fishermen and then have it cooked by one of the surrounding restaurants, served with your selection of mezes you chose from the fridge.
Visit the Tuesday market selling everything from handmade rugs to produce. You can also sample delicious gözleme (thin dough crepes) cooked by headscarfed ladies sat over a steaming griddle and then finish off your day at one of the Turkish Baths for a relaxing massage or detox in the Iznik tiled hamam. Further afield, you can visit Butterfly Valley (about 24km from Fethiye) – a serene nature reserve that’s home to diverse butterfly species.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
