3 Br Villa Vacation Rental In Kalkan, Antalya

Villa Lavanta, Turkish for lavender, is situated in the quiet palm tree lined residential area of Kalamar Bay, one of the more peaceful areas of Kalkan. The villa was built in 2005 by one of Kalkan’s most respected builders and designers, Kemal Tashan, and, when we bought the villa in October 2018, we commissioned the same builder to undertake a substantial refurbishment. This included modernising the pool with Roman steps and sun lounging areas and terraces, two new kitchens, three high quality bathrooms including the master double shower room and a new glass partition on the roof terrace to maximise the stunning views of Kalamar Bay, the mountains, and Mouse and Snake islands. The villa has a key safe on entry and a built in safe to keep your gin out of reach!

Villa Lavanta is a perfect place for family and friends to relax and enjoy the wonders of the Turquoise coast, and with its flexible accommodation Lavanta can comfortably cater for between 6/8 guests.

The ground floor apartment, built using traditional stone is always cool and offers excellent family facilities and direct access to the private pool and chill areas. One double bedroom and lounge/sleeping area with fully equipped kitchen and dining area gives teenagers or friends total independence with WiFi, TV and air conditioning.

The first floor has been totally refurbished to a very high standard with a new shower/wc room, floor to ceiling glass windows in a very spacious lounge and a newly refitted and well equipped kitchen with granite worktops and seating round the island. There is a large fridge/freezer and a water chiller so no need to carry any water bottles to the villa. Off the kitchen, through large glass sliding doors, there is a large dining area for alfresco dining and from here there are beautiful views of the sea and the palm trees for which our road is well-known. There is a further large television on this level.

Two further bedrooms upstairs share a fully renovated master double bathroom with twin rain shower and two wash-hand-basins. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, separate access to balconies and beautiful views of the bay to the islands beyond.

From the second floor you access the roof terrace area with its panoramic views over the bay and mountains to the left and right, ideal for catching rays or sipping a drink whilst watching the sun set. There is a seating area and additional sun beds on this level.

Kalamar Bay Area/ Kalkan Bay

Villa Lavanta is only a few minutes walk from the very best the bay has to offer in beach clubs, restaurants and bars. House Kitchen & Bar, very popular and one of our favourites, is only a 5 minute walk away and Aqua Bistro and Bar, Cafe Vita, the Elixir Hotel Sports Bar, Mimosa and the Brothers restaurant, amongst others, are also just a short walk away. Kalkan Dive Centre is also on your doorstep. A further 15 minute walks takes you to the centre of Kalkan with its beautiful harbour offering many boat trips. The old town with its narrow cobbled streets and boutique shops is a great place to wander about, doing some retail therapy or meeting new friends whilst sampling a beer or cocktail. After sampling dinner in one of the many rooftop restaurants a £3 taxi fare gets you home.

For the more adventurous and those who like a bit of culture, many ancient Lycian ruins dot the surrounding area and are well worth making an effort to see. Hiring a car is simple and inexpensive but not essential as local dolmus bus services run to many popular locations including the most stunning and unspoilt Patara beach. Going a bit more off the beaten track into the mountains to sample traditional Turkish breakfasts or the many trout restaurants is well worth the effort.

Our experienced property manager is on hand to answer any questions and provides a 24/7 emergency call-out service.

Located in Kaş, this villa is in the city center and near the beach. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Kaputas Beach and Patara Beach. Jet skiing and kayaking offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling and rock climbing nearby.
