Private pool villas on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast. Antalya province runs from the city’s long beaches to the cliffside harbour towns of Kalkan and Kaş – and our villas are in and around Kalkan, its most sought-after villa resort.

May – October
Antalya is the province that covers most of Turkey’s Turquoise Coast: more than 600 km of Mediterranean shoreline backed by the Taurus Mountains, with ancient Lycian cities, pine-covered headlands and some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean. Its capital, also called Antalya, is a large resort city with an international airport, a walled old town and long sandy beaches.
For a private villa holiday, though, most travellers head west to the Lycian coast, where the mountains drop straight into the sea. That is where Kalkan sits: a former fishing village of whitewashed houses and bougainvillea built around a small harbour, with hillsides of sea-view villas and private pools. All of Privadia’s villas in Antalya province are in and around Kalkan, chosen because it gives clients the best mix of privacy, views, restaurants and value.
Three very different bases on the same coast. Here’s how to match them to your clients.
Resort hotels, golf, city breaks
A large modern city with the Kaleiçi old town, Lara and Konyaaltı beaches, and Belek’s golf courses to the east.
AYT is 20–40 minutes away.
Few private villas – mostly hotels and resorts.
Private villas, families, couples, food lovers
A small, upmarket harbour town with rooftop restaurants, platform beach clubs and no high-rise hotels.
Dalaman about 1h45; Antalya about 3.5 h.
The coast’s main villa market – all 25 of our villas.
Diving, walking, a livelier town
A bohemian harbour town 30 minutes east of Kalkan, with dive schools, bars and ferries to the Greek island of Kastellorizo (Meis).
Antalya about 2.5–3 h; Dalaman about 2–2.5 h.
A smaller choice – Kalkan villas make an easy base for days out in Kaş.
In short: if your clients want a private villa, send them to Kalkan. If they want a resort hotel near the airport, Antalya city and Belek fit better. Kaş is the perfect day out, or an alternative for keen divers.

From two-bedroom heated-pool hideaways to six-bedroom sea-view villas for groups of 12.
The villa season on the Lycian coast runs from May to October. June to September brings long, hot, dry days and warm sea temperatures, and July and August are the busiest weeks for families. May, early June, late September and October are warm and quieter, and are ideal for couples, walkers and anyone sightseeing at Patara, Xanthos or Myra.
Many restaurants in Kalkan close from November to March, but winters are mild. Antalya city and Belek stay open all year for golf and city breaks, and villas with heated pools stretch the villa season into spring and autumn.
Antalya Airport (AYT) – Turkey’s busiest resort airport, about 13 km from the city centre, with flights from across Europe all year. It is around 20–30 minutes from Antalya city and Lara, 30–40 minutes from Belek, about 2.5–3 hours from Kaş and around 3.5 hours from Kalkan.
Dalaman Airport (DLM) – the closest airport to Kalkan, about 1 hour 45 minutes by road, with direct summer flights from the UK and much of Europe.
Which to book – for a Kalkan villa, Dalaman is usually the better choice in season. Antalya works when it has a better flight time or fare, outside the summer schedule, or when clients are adding a few nights in the city. Our concierge arranges private transfers from either airport.
Families – villas with sea views, games rooms and space to spread out, close to Kalkan’s beach clubs.
Couples and honeymooners – two-bedroom villas with heated pools, private hammams and valley or sea views.
Multi-generational groups – five- and six-bedroom villas sleeping 10–12, often with several terraces and living areas.
Food and culture lovers – rooftop dining in Kalkan, sections of the Lycian Way, and ancient sites at Patara and Xanthos.
Value-led luxury – villas from about €1,460 a week – Villa Solara, for example, has indoor and outdoor pools, a gym, sauna and cinema room.
In Antalya city, Kaleiçi’s walled old town has Ottoman houses, a Roman harbour and Hadrian’s Gate. Further west, the Lycian coast is lined with ancient sites: Patara’s theatre and one of Turkey’s longest sandy beaches, the UNESCO-listed ruins of Xanthos and Letoon, and the rock tombs at Myra. Boat trips run from Kalkan and Kaş to sea caves and the sunken city at Kekova, and Saklıkent Gorge is a cool escape on hot days.
Kalkan is the heart of our Turkey collection. Our Kalkan guide covers the harbour and old town, the best beaches and beach clubs, each villa area from Kızıltaş to Islamlar, and all 25 of our villas, with heated-pool options for spring and autumn.
