Hotel Villa Mahal

Top choice in Kalkan


One of Turkey's most stylish hotels lies atop a cliff on the eastern side of Kalkan Bay. The rooms, individually designed in whiter-than-white minimalism with colourful Mediterranean splashes, have panoramic sea views. The 19m infinity freshwater pool is spectacularly suspended on the edge of the void, while stone steps descend to seafront bathing platforms shaded by olive trees.

There's a fine spa. It's about 2km by road from Kalkan. There's a free water taxi into the centre; minimum stay three nights.
