Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Kalkan

Wonderful staff, Antonia is extremely helpful, friendly and hard working. Plunge pool rooms are spacious with fantastic views.

Extremely clean hotel with great amenities located within walking distance to town! We were given a complimentary upgrade to a room with a private pool and it was amazing. The view, the large room, the huge balcony were all incredible. I’d definitely pay to book that room in the future and would stay here again.

Really enjoyable stay - would definitely reccomend. Hotel is small but has plenty of space for people wanting to stay round the pool and do some sunbathing. Breakfast was better than I expected with plenty of choice to meet all tastes. Food and drink during the day if you stay pool-side were nice and good value. Great views from pool side of the town and harbour. Friendly staff and super clean room. Only minor gripe was how uncomfortable the bed was! Overall fantastic value.

A hidden gem in Kalkan. Just stayed in two rooms for one week and we loved this hotel. Quiet position back from the road with the most amazing views over the bay. Walked to the harbour in 10 minutes and a 2 minute walk from nearby shops and restaurants. The manager Ozge and her staff were so professional, helpful and so attentive. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The hotel was spotless. Bedrooms very comfortable and modern with great views from the spacious balconies. The maids were the best I have ever seen. They were so thorough! The rooms were immaculately cleaned every day. Breakfast was varied and hot and cold choices every day. Delicious. The hotel had a good sized pools with ample loungers and lots of umbrellas and served tea and cake by the pool every day at 5! I rarely recommend hotels but have no hesitation here. Fantastic wee place.

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Rhapsody. The staff were very friendly and helpful, we changed rooms as our first one was a bit "tired" this was no problem and our new room was superb. Breakfast was more than acceptable, the pool and pool bar area clean and tidy, making it a great area to relax in. The quiet location but being a relatively short 10 - 15 minute walk from the bustle of the old town suited us perfectly. We would also recommend making use of the spa facilities they were excellent, certainly one of the best massages I have ever had.

Extensive grounds with accommodation dotted around within hillside olive groves. Wonderful location with terrific views across the bay. Boat shuttle into town was excellent but stopped at 6pm. However, taxi fare from town to hotel was inexpensive. Great breakfasts. We were in the Pool Room which was very private and had the largest private infinity pool I’ve seen. The delightful owner, Ms Ipek, was around at breakfast most mornings to keep an eye on things and to check guests were enjoying their stay.

We staid in one of the villas rather than in the hotel itself. Beautiful accommodation over three floors in a private setting with sea views and a choice of using the villa's own pools or descending to the shore for a swim, snorkel or paddle in the sea. Direct access to the sea is great: no need to drive to an overcrowded beach. Not suitable for non-swimmers or children due to deep water; and the site is not suitable for the infirm either: there are plenty steps to climb (Motto "181 steps to heaven"). The on-site restaurant serves a very nice breakfast, and in the evening you can enjoy a tasty dinner at the water's edge. Yoga was lovely. We didn't try the massage. There were a few mosquitoes out at night. A small quirk of the open plan design of our villa was the open stairwell to the upstairs bedroom. It results in a certain lack of privacy for the inhabitants of this otherwise beautiful room, and exposes them to the sounds from below (we ended up turning off the ice cube machine in the kitchen at night). The lower floor bedroom on the other hand has its own separate entrance, affording maximum privacy. Staff was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Everything was clean and well cared for. Daily house cleaning was offered. All requests were attended to promptly. Very civilized - we enjoyed our stay greatly.

The hotel is built amongst old olive groves on steep slopes down to the sea. There are stunning views across the bay of Kalkan, looking west - which means beautiful sunsets in the evening. The small number of rooms are dotted around the peaceful grounds, creating a sense of space and tranquility. The infinity pool is extremely attractive and was never crowded and there are many places around the grounds just to sit and read or enjoy the views in peaceful surroundings. The bar / restaurant area again faces west and it is possible to eat the evening meal down at sea level, as the sun goes down. The food is excellent and the staff very friendly, professional and attentive. The steepness of the slopes does mean that there are many steps to negotiate, although that was not a problem for us, and the hotel has a buggy that can drive guests up and down the steepest section.

Staying at Hotel Villa Mahal was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! The hotel is incredibly beautiful, peaceful, and feels like a little hidden PARADISE! The views are absolutely STUNNING. The staff were all AMAZING. My room was just WOW. The beach platform and the pool area — NO WORDS how beautiful. Their dinner by the water is something OUT OF THIS WORLD. I’m very impressed with this hotel and I hope I’ll come back one day

fabulous villa - 3 large bedrooms- 2 kings and 1 twin - spacious and amazing double pool

The stay was amazing from beginning to end. The staff overall was kind, thoughtful, helpful and engaged to make our stay the best at every step. They were responsive to our every request. The swimming in the turquoise ocean was heavenly and we even had our own private infinity pool. The breakfast was varied with choices each morning with lunch by the sea while lounging. The evening dinners at the pavilion were some of our best dinners in Turkey. Overall an A+

We genuinely loved our time an Likya Gardens. Arrival was a smooth and comfortable drive - transfer they arranged. We had a seaview room- the bed was very comfortable even for my bad back- slept like a baby. The facilities in the room were all you needed, incl slippers, bathrobe and mini bar. Strong WiFi signal too The Beach Club, where you'll be having the breakfast is right in front of the rooms. The sun beds are comfortable allowing a choice of privacy or a more sociable setting. Multiple stairs to enter the water from the cliff you're on give easy access. Sweet water showers are also welcomed! Breakfast is a tasty range of many meats, cheeses, fruits and eggs of your choice- make sure you leave an hour to eat- you'll be spoilt. The lunch menu offers a wide choice of local and international dishes. For dinner we went to the local sister hotel Likya Pavillion which is a 300metre walk away. The fish and cocktails there were amazing! Probably the best experience of the whole stay was the day tour the manager of the hotel (who's also a qualified guide) organised for us. From my partner's long wish list he walked us through the options and organised a smooth and interesting your where we heard stories of past civilizations as well as current local context. Highly recommend you ask about this at the reception. The city centre is a 15min walk away but you can also get one of the many taxies for only TRY200.

Es el mejor hotel frente al mar en el que nos hemos alojado, las dimensiones de las habitaciones y del baño son generosas y la calidad en el servicio te hace sentir como en casa. La recepción estuvo siempre atenta a todas las necesidades, llegamos tarde y tenían a una persona en especial para recibirnos y darnos la bienvenida. El acceso al mar es privado y allí mismo está el restaurante para el desayuno con la mejor vista hacia el mar azul turquesa que hemos visto; el desayuno turco delicioso con variedad de sabores y el café turco o el latte bien ricos y recién hechos.

Otel konum ve konsept olarak çok güzel. Girişte çok ilgili bir resepsiyon karşılıyor personel güler yüzlü ve kibar. Oda çok güzel ancak lavabo temizliği çok iyi değildi yine de tolere edilebilir. Akşam saat 5ten sonra mutfak kapalı, 300 mt ilerideki otelin sahiplerine ait bir restoranda indirimli olarak akşam yemeği yenebileceği söylendi, ufak ikramlarda bulunuldu ancak indirim uygulanmadı. Yine de güzel bir tatil oldu tekrar gelebilirim

Great service and friendly staff. The room was nice and cozy. The beach club that is part of the hotel has crystal clear waters and provides a calm experience with a sea breeze. Yet you can still walk 10min to the town centre if you look for the bustle im the evenings.

We stayed at Villa Mahal for our baby moon, the whole experience was wonderful with friendly and attentive staff, beautiful rooms and amazing views. Having a large private pool was also a huge bonus. 10/10 recommend!

This is a good-looking, fabulous hotel made more exceptional by the staff. The infinity pool is beautiful, the sea front platforms are dramatic and the bar & restaurant, chill out area and private beach are quirky and well finished. The food is generally delicious and fresh, drinks are as expected, but the beach and dinner service by the day and evening staff is the standout feature of this hotel - difficult to relay how exceptional they are, other than if I had a hotel or restaurant I’d offer them all jobs, especially Altan - superstar. Negatives - not many really, the steps you will have read about already, if you are in the cheaper rooms there are a LOT of steps to navigate every day, be warned, they are hard work in 30+ heat. Room 106 is one to avoid unless you like a terrace that joins to the breakfast area, the least private of all of the rooms. The term ‘adult only’ is a little misleading, it’s 12+ and there were a few younger kids in residence when we were there & the beach club part of the hotel (which shares most of the sea platforms and sea area) allows kids, so be prepared if it isn’t your thing. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, very, very relaxing.

A wonderfully relaxing time at Villa Mahal - a fabulous cliff side setting with stunning views from every vantage point. We were very satisfied with every aspect - it felt very intimate with just a handful of guest rooms - nicely furnished with good amenities and stylish decor with traditional touches. The staff were superb and a credit to the management. A very high staff to guest ratio; genuinely welcoming, friendly and authentic service from everyone. Thank you for a unforgettable holiday!

Wow....all I can say that I will be back. Totally worth the money ... you get what you pay for. Food is outstanding along with the rooms and view. The arranged our balloon ride. Be sure to book early!!! Pro tip... rent a car to explore the area. I used avis at the airport.

Resepsiyondan başlayan Güleryüz tüm tatil boyunca devam etti.Personel çok ilgili ,odalar konforlu ve temiz ,otel uzun süredir gitmek istediğimiz bi oteldi,çok konforlu ,doğa içinde ,harika deniz, sakin ve şık.Şefe ve yemeklerine tam puan.Harika yemekler özelikle şefin masaya gelip ilgisi çok hoştu. Tekrar tekrar gideriz.teşekkürler Villa Mahal

Most helpful and friendly staff. Lovely breakfast, typically Turkish served to your table. The only let down is the pool and pool area. The rooms are really nice and are wheelchair accessible. There is a lift. Excellent!

Aptly called - The Oasis - is a small adult only hotel and I had an amazing stay there. My room was lovely and very clean. The Turkish breakfast is amazing but after two days I just had the fruit which was enough for me. The hotel team were brilliant. The first night I was there, I was asked who I was by the bar staff and it wasn’t forgotten. Whether at reception, at the bar or the rooftop restaurant, the team were efficient and calm and always smiling. Food in the restaurant was excellent. The pool was lovely too. All in all, as you can see, I couldn’t fault it. It is a short walk into the main town but it is situated on a hill which was, for me lovely to walk up but anyone with an walking issues would need a taxi for the hill but there were plenty of taxis around.

This is truly a special place. The staff were so attentive and kind to every need we had. The property is very clean and has a lot of character. Nice swimming pools and a great bar/lounge area. The upstairs restaurant at this hotel is amazing with some of the best food I've had anywhere and have dined at top restaurants around the world. Both the view and the food/service are 10/10. The food and beverage manager, Orhan is a superstar and a very kind man that knows his job very well. If you're considering this property, think no more as you have found something special.
