Villa Elmas

The stylish and contemporary Villa Elmas is one of Kalkan’s finest. Perched on the hillside above Kalkan and Kalamar bays, it offers a breathtaking combination of stunning views, refreshing sea breezes, and luxurious amenities, all within a 15-minute walk of Kalkan. Here, you’ll find a delightful mix of rooftop and waterfront restaurants, welcoming bars, and eclectic shops. The infinity pool is generously sized for a private villa and is connected to an equally large shallow pool via a cascading waterfall. Three spacious terraces on different levels, furnished with 14 sun loungers, sofas, and easy chairs, provide the perfect spots to relax in the Mediterranean sunshine and take in the mesmerising views. As evening falls, subtle outdoor lighting transforms the private bar, traditional Turkish kosk, and marble dining table into the perfect setting for sundowners and leisurely meals under the stars. The villa also features a sauna, steam room, and indoor and outdoor Jacuzzis, offering the ideal way to unwind and enjoy its spa-like facilities. Inside, the luxury continues. Each room boasts a glass wall to maximise the panoramic sea and mountain views, along with full air conditioning and cool marble floors. The expansive open-plan living area on the middle floor includes two lounge spaces with seating for 15, an impressive kitchen-diner, furnished balconies, and all the modern conveniences you would expect from a villa of this calibre. All five double bedrooms come with ensuite wet-room bathrooms, walk-in wardrobes, and direct access to a sun terrace. Additionally, the villa includes a guest bathroom and a laundry room. As you would expect from such a luxurious property, Villa Elmas offers many other facilities, including table tennis, table football, exercise equipment, WiFi, satellite TV, music systems, pool games, a telephone, BBQ, water cooler, safe, daily bread delivery, and the indulgence of a private chef for the evening.

The villa enjoys a prime position overlooking both Kalkan and Kalamar bays, offering dual-aspect sea views and convenient access to the finest beach clubs in the area. A leisurely 15-minute walk takes you into town or to the bustling Thursday market. Kalkan is a picturesque town, approximately an hour and a half’s drive from Dalaman Airport, through the Turkish countryside and the majestic Taurus mountains. Once a Greek enclave known as Kalamaki, the town’s rich Ottoman and Hellenic heritage is evident in the old town’s winding cobbled streets, lined with traditional whitewashed houses adorned with vibrant bougainvillaea. Kalkan boasts over 100 restaurants, cafés, and bars, as well as an array of souvenir and craft shops brimming with treasures you’ll want to take home. A short stroll from Villa Elmas brings you to a local mini-market for daily essentials, while a three-minute drive into Kalkan offers larger supermarkets, shops, banks, and the lively Thursday market, known for its fresh local produce and handmade souvenirs. The nearest beach is just a five-minute drive away, by the harbour, or you can hop on one of the many private water taxis to whisk you off to a beach club of your choice. Kalkan’s coastline is home to 15 beach clubs, each offering a different experience—from the chic Villa Mahal and relaxed Indigo to the family-friendly Kalkan Beach Park and the elegantly designed Zest, featuring large infinity pools for both adults and children. For those seeking further adventure, the breathtaking Kaputaş Beach, nestled in a natural gorge, is just a short drive away—though be prepared for the 200 steps down (and back up!). Patara is another must-visit destination, offering ancient ruins, two 2,000-year-old amphitheatres, and 20 kilometres of untouched golden sands, with a protected area for the nesting Caretta Caretta turtles. No visit to Kalkan is complete without a boat trip from the harbour—whether it’s a shared excursion with friends and family or a private gulet charter with your own captain and crew. Spend the day swimming and snorkelling in secluded bays, indulge in a meal of traditional home-cooked meze, and sail back to the harbour with a cocktail in hand, watching the famous sunsets. Back on land, treat yourself to an authentic Turkish hammam experience, where you can unwind with a hands-on massage and enjoy the heat and bubbles at one of Kalkan’s many luxurious spas. For the more adventurous, the Lycian Way walking trail passes through Kalkan, offering an opportunity to trek through ancient archaeological sites, local villages, and dramatic coastal landscapes rich with flora and fauna. A short trip to the nearby town of Kınık takes you to the ancient Lycian city of Xanthos, while the D400 road leads to Fethiye, home to historical landmarks such as Patara, Letoon, Tlos, and Pinara, where you can explore ruins and temples with Lycian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine influences. Fethiye itself is a vibrant harbour town with a lively fish market and excellent designer shopping. In the opposite direction, just 25 kilometres away, lies the town of Kaş, renowned for its stunning coastal drive and rich Ottoman architecture. Stroll through its picturesque harbour and wander cobbled streets lined with pastel-coloured bougainvillaea, browsing unique handmade and antique goods in the local shops. Afterward, enjoy a traditional Turkish meal with panoramic sea views. If you’re feeling adventurous, take a 20-minute ferry from Kaş to the Greek island of Meis, also known as Kastellorizo, where you can swim in the enchanting Blue Cave and dine alfresco by the water’s edge under a Grecian sky.
