This beautiful Mediterranean town offers an appealing selection of modern gyms and fitness facilities, ideal for anyone looking to balance indulgent dining with daily workouts, cardio sessions or strength training.

Gym Access in Kalkan: What to Expect
Most gyms in Kalkan operate on a flexible pay-as-you-go basis, offering day passes, weekly packages and longer memberships for visitors. Payment is usually accepted by cash or card on arrival. Opening hours are generous during the summer season (May – October), though they may shift slightly outside peak months or during Turkish national holidays. For the most up-to-date details, it’s always best to check directly with each facility — many are easily reachable via WhatsApp and respond quickly.
For guests staying at Lures Hotel, a private gym is available exclusively for residents. However, if you would specifically like to access these facilities during your stay and you are not booked to reside at the Lures, do let us know — special arrangements may sometimes be made through our local contacts. The hotel also features a wellness suite including a sauna, hammam, spa and massage treatments for those seeking a more restorative approach to wellbeing.
Taxis are readily available and drivers are familiar with all local gym locations, simply share the gym name to reach your destination with ease. Most gyms have bottled water available onsite, but do bring your own refillable bottle if you prefer. While air-conditioning is standard, Kalkan’s summer heat can still be felt during peak hours, so plan your sessions accordingly.
Please note: All gyms require a change of footwear — outdoor trainers are not permitted inside the workout areas.
