Modern mesh sun loungers surround the pool, and double deep cushioned day beds, perfectly positioned in the shallow waters of the swimming pool to capture those views and dip in your toes. Parasols and wooden pergolas keep you shaded from the summer sun. Sway the afternoon away in a swing seat. A glass-fronted, sunken soft seating well is the most magical hot spot to meet for cocktails and watch the sunset over the horizon. As dusk falls, take your place at the outside dining table, and feast alfresco on freshly grilled barbecue dishes as you raise a glass to the most memorable holiday in the most exceptional location. 

Villa Sumac can be found at the apex of the hillside overlooking beautiful Kalamar Bay, near the exclusive harbour town resort of Kalkan, situated on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, the jewel of the Mediterranean Sea. The villa is one hundred and thirty kilometres from Dalaman Airport, a scenic one-and-a-half-hour journey through the Turkish countryside and Taurus mountains.

The old town of Kalkan is covered in cobbled streets, traditional white houses festooned in colourful bougainvillaea, and home to a reputed one hundred and fifty restaurants, cafes, and bars, enticing souvenir shops, and designer brand stores stuffed with objects of desire. After dark, dine in one of the famous rooftop restaurants with stunning harbour and sea views, sampling traditional Turkish delights and international cuisine. From the villa, it is a short drive to the local shops and restaurants of Kalamar and a five-minute drive into Kalkan, where you can find supermarkets, banks, and a local Thursday market.

Within walking distance of the villa are three Kalamar Bay beach clubs, with restaurants, infinity swimming pools, and bathing platforms. Kalkan town has its own pebble beach with organised sun loungers and brollies, easy access into the calm Mediterranean sea, and a cute cafe. Travel further afield to the stunning Kaputas Beach, set in a natural gorge, or take a trip to Patara, where you will find twenty kilometres of unspoilt golden sands and a protected area for the hatching Caretta Caretta turtles. Patara also boasts an archaeological site over two thousand years old, with not just one but two ancient amphitheatres, not to mention the most stunning sunsets, best seen from the ever-changing sand dunes. 

All aboard a traditional gulet for a day of sunbathing, swimming, and snorkelling, enjoy a meal of homecooked meze, then sail back to the harbour, cocktail in hand, to watch the sunset.

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.

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 labels and fabulous jewellery shopping. The nearer town of Kas is just twenty-five kilometres in the other direction and worth the journey alone along one of the world’s most stunning and dramatic coastlines.
