Villa Aiyla

About this property

Prepare to be wowed by Villa Aiyla, a striking three-storey, glass-fronted luxury villa with two swimming pools and breathtaking sea views. With five spacious bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms and private balconies, it comfortably sleeps up to ten guests – ideal for families or friends travelling together. The villa also offers private parking, complimentary Wi-Fi and air conditioning throughout.

Perched high above Kalkan, this architect-designed glass and steel villa enjoys panoramic views across the old town and harbour, Mouse and Snake islands, and the turquoise Mediterranean beyond. Inside, the contemporary design is finished in crisp Mediterranean whites and neutrals, with bold splashes of colour for dramatic effect.

On the ground floor, you’ll find a bright open-plan living space framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. There’s a generous wraparound sofa, a flat-screen TV with Netflix, and a dining area for ten, alongside a sleek fully equipped kitchen with a large fridge freezer, island hob and coffee machine. Also on this level is a twin bedroom with built-in wardrobes, air conditioning, an en-suite marble bathroom and access to a furnished sea-view balcony.

The remaining four bedrooms are spread across the first and second floors, all with built-in wardrobes, air conditioning, en-suite marble bathrooms and furnished sea-view balconies. The top terrace is a real highlight, with a second pool, jacuzzi, hammam, sauna and a state-of-the-art gym – perfect for unwinding while soaking up the views.

Outside, the main pool terrace is accessed directly from the living area and features a glass-fronted swimming pool, sun loungers set into the water, and plenty of space to relax. There’s also a stylish seating area, swing seat, and an outdoor kitchen with an alfresco dining table – ideal for sunset cocktails and evenings under the stars.

Villa Aiyla is located in Kiziltas, a peaceful residential area set above the charming harbour town of Kalkan on Turkey’s famous Turquoise Coast. Built into the hillside, the villa enjoys magnificent views across the bay and beyond.

Kalkan is around 125km from Dalaman Airport, with the journey taking approximately 1.5 hours through the Turkish countryside and Taurus Mountains. Once a Greek enclave known as Kalamaki, the town still reflects both Ottoman and Hellenic influences, with winding cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, and an excellent choice of restaurants, cafés, bars and shops.

From the villa, it’s an easy walk to local shops and supermarkets, with Kalkan centre just a short drive away. Here you’ll find banks and the popular Thursday market, ideal for stocking up on fresh local produce.

Kalkan is also well known for its beach clubs, several of which are within walking distance of the villa, offering bathing platforms, superb restaurants and, in some cases, full-sized swimming pools. Alternatively, head into town and take a complimentary water taxi across the bay to beach clubs on the opposite shore.

No visit to Kalkan is complete without a boat trip from the harbour, whether you join a shared excursion or charter your own gulet. Spend the day swimming and snorkelling in secluded bays, enjoying freshly prepared meze, and sailing back at sunset with a cocktail in hand.

For beach lovers, Kalkan has its own pebble beach, while nearby Kaputas Beach sits dramatically in a natural gorge. Patara is also well worth the trip, with 20km of unspoilt golden sand and a protected nesting site for turtles. Along the coastline, you’ll find everything from family-friendly beach clubs with water sports to exclusive luxury spots offering relaxed service and even alfresco spa treatments.

For those who like to explore, the Lycian Way walking trail passes through Kalkan, weaving through archaeological sites, local villages, dramatic coastal scenery and the region’s rich flora and fauna. History lovers can visit the ancient Lycian city of Xanthos near Kinik, or travel along the D400 towards Fethiye to discover Patara, Letoon, Tlos and Pinara, with impressive ruins, amphitheatres and temples shaped by Lycian, Greek, Roman and Byzantine influences.

Fethiye itself offers more historical sights, a lively fish market and excellent shopping, while the nearby town of Kas (around 25km away) is also a must-visit, with its pretty harbour, Ottoman architecture, bougainvillaea-lined streets, and traditional restaurants serving authentic Turkish cuisine with stunning sea views. For a final adventure, take the 20-minute ferry from Kas to the Greek island of Meis, where you can explore the Blue Cave and dine by the water’s edge.
