Asfiya Sea View Hotel
Asfiya Sea View Hotel
Discover the Asfiya Sea View Hotel, where breathtaking views, comfort, and genuine local service come together for an unforgettable stay.
Boasting stunning sea views from every angle, the hotel offers guests an excellent value coastal escape. The Asfiya Sea View has built a loyal following thanks to its prime hillside location just steps from Kalkan’s vibrant old town and due to its wonderful waiting team who are attentive and endearing.
The Asfiya Sea View Hotel features 34, en-suite rooms designed with a focus on simplicity and guest comfort. Among them, 15 rooms come with private plunge pools, 3 offer direct access to the communal swimming pool, and all promise inspiring sea vistas. Whether you prefer twin or double beds, our flexible arrangements can accommodate up to 3 guests per room, with some rooms interconnecting to create a perfect setup for families. Recently, the private pool rooms in the 700’s block have been refreshed and adorned with new daybeds.
The heart of the Asfiya Sea View Hotel is the expansive pool and terrace area, a serene oasis accessed via a maze of pathways. Picture yourself lounging on luxurious cushioned day beds under the shade of parasols, enveloped in a breezy, coastal ambiance. Adjacent to the pool, the laid-back pool bar serves a variety of refreshing drinks throughout the day, transforming into a popular sundowner spot as evening approaches. The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch, while room service is available until 22:00 for those who prefer to dine in. And with Kalkan’s exceptional dining scene just a stone’s throw away, our local expert, Laura, is always ready to recommend and book the best restaurants for you. For those seeking A’ La carte dining closer to home, the Likya Residence and Likya Pavilion are just moments from the hotel on foot.
Our guests often return due to the charming service of the excellent local team. They’re always eager to help and love practicing their English with you—nothing is ever too much trouble. There might be an occasional charming mix-up in translation, but that’s part of the fun and adds to the experience. Everything is done with a warm smile, making your stay even more memorable.
As an added perk, guests at the Asfiya Sea View enjoy complimentary access to the nearby Yali Beach Club. A mere 10-minute stroll downhill, Yali offers parasols and day beds on rocky platforms, complete with waiter and towel service. Indulge in a menu featuring delectable small plates, main courses, and seasonal salads, along with a selection of freshly squeezed juices, beers, and signature cocktails.

NEW: Multi Centre Escapes
Our guests are invited to pick any duration of stay, departure airport or even accommodation only – whatever suits your needs
Multi Centre Holidays
Our multi- centre holidays allow our guests the opportunity to make the most of our portfolio. In order to experience an authentic flavour of Turkey, we recommend combining locations either as a split centre stay, for example (7+7 nights, 3+4 nights or any duration that suits you). You can even, create your own multi-centre itinerary so you can get the most of your holiday in Turkey by sampling the wonderfully dramatic scenery and colourful culture that varies so much from region to region. We will take care of all the logistics, split centre transfers and for those who wish to self-drive, we also offer this service too.
Here we display an overview of the regions we feature and some nice ideas but any combination of properties and/or durations is feasible. It is even possible to combine with Istanbul, Cappadocia a guided Lycian Walking Tour or a themed programme tailored to your specific requirements. Call our expert team to utilise their enthusiasm and knowledge- they will be happy to arrange a specific itinerary, transport, guide and excursions.
Inspiration- Our regions and properties
Bodrum
Once a small fishing village, enigmatic Bodrum is a thriving destination offering beautiful beaches and chi-chi beach clubs, a sophisticated and authentic array of bars and restaurants together with a fascinating historical and cultural scene; including a 15th Century castle and architecturally interesting buildings.
Sianji Hotel and Well-Being Resort
Gocek and Fethiye
The unassuming beauty of the Gulf of Fethiye & Göcek region is accentuated by its accessibility from the airport: just 20 minutes’ drive to Göcek harbour from Dalaman, which brings you straight into the heart of chichi coastal Turkey. It’s another 40 minutes to downtown Fethiye, a lively, working town with a gentrified seafront and one of the finest harbours on the entire coast. Both provide easy access to an archipelago of twelve islands, crystal clear waters and beneficent winds which make for wonderful sailing. Flanked by dramatic, pine-covered mountains and not a high-rise in site, their waterfront settings are exceptional. Beyond the two harbour towns an array of sandy beaches await, including some of Turkey’s best-known (Ölü Deniz) and less discovered finds such as Kabak and Kidrak.
Kalkan
Kalkan is a picturesque harbour town set in a vast horseshoe bay, flanked by a rocky mountainous backdrop. Villa Quintessentially pretty, it’s optimum features include cobbled narrow passageways and colourful Greek houses with low hanging bougainvillea clad balconies. The bustling café culture and artisan boutiques allow for long lingering lunches, followed by a mooch in search of artisan leather goods, fine jewellery and super stylish textiles. Kalkan has an excellent selection of serviced beach clubs which ring the bay making it easy to spend time chilling by the water’s edge. All have a laid back barefoot vibe, most with waiter service and each offering a slightly different experience. Just up the road, Patara is a favourite for all, this long stretch of golden sand will appeal to little people longing to build a sandcastle or two and the breeze makes the intense peak summer heat more endurable. Beyond the dunes sits the ancient Lycian site of Patara which was once an important trading port and the supposed birthplace of St Nicholas.
Kas
The Kas Peninsula is a wonderful setting for a holiday: the views across the blue sea to the Greek island of Meis are spectacular and the land slopes down to the rocky coastline where swimming platforms let you plunge straight into the crystal clear water.
Kas is perhaps a little like the ‘big brother’ of Kalkan. Like Kalkan, it has an attractive harbour and winding cobbled streets climbing a hillside. It has a slightly bohemian feel, attracting a range of visitors of different nationalities and ages. The town has a wonderful selection of shops and restaurants, many with charming roof terraces with views over the square and harbour front.
The Bozburun and Datça Peninsula
The Bozburun and Datça peninsula’s have a distinctly Greek feel which sets them apart from the rest of coastal Turkey. This is partly because of their proximity to the Greek Southern Dodecanese ring and the island of Symi is just five miles across the strait. Along the roadside is the waft of drying thyme, rosemary and sage as men twiddle worry beads sipping endless cups of Turkish tea. The area is known for its thyme-scented honey which is sold by the roadside.
Istanbul
Istanbul is a spectacular city that you will never tire of. Steeped in ancient history, today it is a café society with a minaret-lined skyline, a confluence of ancient tradition and contemporary delights. It bemuses and amuses in equal measure. The city famously straddles – both geographically and philosophically – Europe and Asia and stimulates every visitor with a melange of the exotic and familiar. Its geographical position alone – at the neck of trading routes between the Mediterranean and Africa – has afforded the city an important trading position since the Byzantine era. And the Golden Horn, nestling within the city, is one of the world’s finest natural harbours.
Cappadocia
The Cappadocia National Park region covers over 24,000 square kilometres with a distinct and highly unusual landscape. The valley of Fairy Chimneys is the most popular area, roughly within the triangle formed by the three main towns of the region, Avanos, Urgup and Nevsehir. There’s really no adequate way of conveying the surreal moonscape- the enormity of the skies and awe-inspiring geology is something that can only be truly appreciated in person.
Multi- Centre Holidays Pricing Structure
1: Apply the rate for the date of arrival at your first property and specific duration of stay
2: Repeat as relevant to your chosen holiday applying rates relevant to the date of arrival at the specific property in each case
3: Add the transfer costs between regions as relevant, or Car Hire if you prefer to self-drive. Shared airport transfers on arrival and departure are included.
4: We will quote the flight rate based on the current market rate and a service fee of £10 per person.

Our Guests Genuine Reviews
CLIVE BASSINDALE – September 2023. Excellent team in U.K. and Kalkan
Good location hotel staff excellent but hotel needs some TLC in places.
KEITH JOHN DURSO – September 2023. A well ‘oiled’ machine.
We have been customers of DC for many years now and have always found the staff very professional and always helpful.
“We have been guests at The Asfiya Seaview Hotel for many years and whilst it still ticks a lot of boxes standards in certain areas have fallen.
We noted this on our visit in 2022 and feedback our views to DC.
They duly took note and advised that they believed things would be back to the expected levels this year. Unfortunately this was not the case and as a result we will be seeking alternative accommodation should we return to Kalkan in 2024.”
DAVID WEIGHELL – September 2023
“Friendly and professional team and they treat
you as a special person. very willing to resolve any problems and any queries which you may have with regard to your booking. I could not wish for a better service.
Friendly Hotel and charming staff and rebooking for next year. “
SUSAN EMERY – September 2023
Fantastic company.
“I always recommend Discerning Collection. Their hotels are true to description and service is second to none. From initial contact on booking to holiday itself everything first class.
All staff from those at the UK office to those on the ground in resort are knowledgeable and excellent.”
ANTHONY BRUTON – September 2023
Efficient. Very efficient with good knowledge of the accommodation on offer.
Good holiday. The hotel grounds were not maintained to a high standard. Plants on my terrace had died through not being watered.
ANGELA MUMBERSON – September 2023
Hotel location just perfect for town and surrounding areas of interest.
They assist you 100% both in the UK and during our stay in Turkey providing flight information updates. Their local representatives are extremely helpful and friendly in every way.
KAY ADCOCK – July 2023
Helpful, friendly staff and happy to help.
“Lovely hotel in an excellent location, stunning view over bay. Very clean.
Staff go out of way to help. Definitely would stay again.”
SHEILA CARMICHAEL – June 2023
Great service and will return to them next year.
JENNIFER BROAD – May 2023
We are returning guests and always receive excellent service.
The service and welcome we receive at the Asfiya Seaview is always excellent. Hussain, the manager, was excellent when we had a problem with our room and all the staff and waiters really go above and beyond to ensure all guests are happy and well looked after.
KEITH JOHN DURSO – September 2022
“Discerning is a very well operated organisation and has genuine concerns for their customers.
Our visit to the Asfiya Hotel this year was below normal expectations – this was mainly due to a total changeover to all the previous staff who had been re deployed elsewhere. This led to a drop in standards and general service.
We did report back to Discerning our concerns particularly as we have been regular visitors for many years.
They were very quick to react, and we had a very informative telecon with Nick who took on board our comments and was very reassuring and advised things will return to the expected standards going forward. The hotel still has the charm and commands a great location with amazing views – this never changes”
CLIVE BASSINDALE – September 2022
A professional tour operator with the personal touch. I gave this company five stars as they are professional and care about their clients.
We have been going to this hotel for many years and for the first time the standards are starting to slip, there needs to be some TLC to the hotel to bring it back to its former standard.
SUSAN EMERY – September 2022
“Exceptional service both before holiday, during holiday and after when had medical emergency.
So glad we booked with them, they took away any problems we had in sorting everything out.
Couldn’t have asked for better. Will use them in future.”
Always good holiday at this hotel and resort
DIANE RUST – September 2022
Friendly helpful experience. I have booked with Discerning Collection, several times, they are always helpful in getting what you want from your booking, and they know the places they are advising on.
I have stayed here before, so knew where I was going. Discerning made the whole booking process easy. We went with Turkish Airlines who were great and the hotel is small and perfectly formed.
MICHAEL BUCKLEY – September 2022
Very good experience all round – fantastic holiday and very good booking process and helpful advice from Beata at DC – would highly recommend.
Great holiday all round, great hotel and staff.
MALCOLM BUNCE – June 2022
Have used Discerning collection for over 10 years always helpful and knowledgeable.
“Hotel facilities need to be updated rooms looking tired and in need of a facelift for the price paid, nothing has changed in the past 3 years since we last stayed Breakfast choice still very limited for people with allergies Bar area needs to feel more welcoming, restaurant area could do with a better set up and atmosphere non-existent.
It’s a shame as the hotel is in a very good position in Kalkan but it needs someone in charge to put some life into it”
DEREK COATES – June 2022
“Professional service from Professional staff given to you from booking your holiday to the end of your holiday.
Thank you , Discerning Collection.”
Beautiful location , clean with friendly and attentive staff.
STEPHANIE DASS – June 2022
Pre departure arrangements were excellent but hotel service needs improvement. Reception staff had little English, wines more expensive than usual.
Same comments as above; sort those out and our experience will be as good as in previous years. Moving room a day earlier than expected was not great.
RACHEL BARNES WEHRLE – June 2022
Great service from the time of booking. I was given excellent advice regarding the most appropriate hotel and even a recommendation as to the best room to book..
The staff were very helpful & friendly. The room was spacious, clean and to a high spec. The food was excellent. Dinner was particularly good & very moderately priced. Great views of the sea and also Kalkan town.
ANTHONY BRUTON – May 2022
Very efficient service with good knowledge of accommodation. Would use again.
Good room was chosen for me.
JENNIFER BROAD – May 2022
Returning happy customer. We always return to Discerning Collection as we feel confident that any problems we have will be sorted out immediately.
It’s the staff that really make this hotel special. The friendly manager and his team really make sure everyone is well looked after and happy. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Hannah the rep was always on hand to assist if needed.
PATRICIA JEFFERSON – October 2020
Brilliant service rep was always there when you needed her would certainly book again.
Really good service nothing too much trouble. Rooms slightly dated but large with good balcony service made up for this. Very clean and helpful staff. Nice swimming pool and hotel in good position..
MARIA ORRELL – Sept 2020
Another excellent holiday organised at short notice with the Discerning Collection. Asfiys Sea View hotel was as good as ever. Staff are so friendly and Muharrem is absolutely wonderful in his managerial role.
Lovely room with pool. Chilled out and relaxed.
CLIVE BASSINDALE – Sept 2020
The team in UK and Turkey are as always fantastic, from the moment you book you know your in experienced hands. Would recommend Discerning too all. We have booked already for 2021
We have been returning guests for many years, the location, accommodation, and especially the staff under the management of Muharrem there are exceptional from the bar and breakfast staff to cleaners, all are excellent.
PAUL SHARDLOW – October 2020
Great service. “Very good booking process and great comms throughout.
We were very surprised when receiving the ticket wallet to see all necessary forms for passenger location attached. They had also sent boarding passes and had checked in on line for us saving us time etc. Great service in resort by Laura the rep. Would book again with them and already have for next September.”
3 visits in 3 years, says it all.
KEITH DURSO – Sept 2020
Excellent service in difficult times. Still setting a high standard of service in very difficult times for the Travel industry.
“We have stayed here for a numbers of years now and the standards are still very high.
The staff and service offered here is excellent and they were very Covid secure.
We so so glad we were able to travel given the circumstances and the Asfiya still delivered!”
PAULA HALL – August 2020
Excellent Throughout. Summer holiday booked in January and then the pandemic hit… after thinking there was no way we would get our trip we were contacted by the Discerning Collection to say that Turkey holidays were back on. Great news and then our flight was cancelled. With more and more flights being pulled, Beata worked hard to find alternatives from a suitable airport with only a minor tweak to dates. We weren’t entirely convinced that this could really happen, but it did! Thank you to Beata for her dedication and patience to make our holiday happen and to Laura for taking care of us in resort, as always.
Love this hotel – great staff, food, accommodation, location and view.
Really appreciated their covid safety precautions throughout, making us feel very safe. Thank you Muharrem and team.
CAROL DE JUAN – October 2019
Excellent from start to finish. Personal and efficient service – they transferred us to BA flights as Thomas Cook went bust 2 days before departure date. Transport to hotel was in a private people carrier with water etc.
Room was large and bed superbly comfortable, lovely walk-in shower. Great view from balcony. Friendly staff. Maid was especially sweet. Breakfast was on terrace by pool and a chef to cook whatever you wanted. Good selection of breads and wonderful fruits. Bar staff were chatty but friendly served great cocktails.
KEITH DURSO – Sept 2019
An Excellent all round service. We have been using Discerning Collection for a number of years now and they offer a fantastic all round service. Nothing is too much trouble and they are very customer focused.
This is a lovely Hotel with excellent service and staff, just a few little cosmetic touches needed in certain places to keep everything under control before they become a bigger issue .
ANNETTE RUSHMERE – Sept 2019
Staff are very helpful and hotel is very relaxing. Rooms are large and spacious and lovely views over sea.
Always good this is 3rd time at this hotel
ANNE PARTRIDGE – Sept 2019
Wonderful as ever The Beautiful Asfiya Seaview. “Great hotel and facilities.Very good restaurant and staff on site. The rep does not add value- needs to be better presented and not bother guests while they are trying to eat their breakfast – very irritating.
Kalkan beautiful as ever .”
Kalkan and Asfiya is truly wonderful- friendly staff and other guests. A relaxed but always professional vibe. Loved every minute and third visit in a row.
CLIVE BASSINDALE – Sept 2019
They are one of the holiday companies that actually care and both in the UK and Turkey have excellent staff that go the extra mile to ensure your holiday is what you would expect.
This hotel is excellent the location and views are one of the best in Kalkan. The main reason this hotel is so good is the staff from the manager Adem, to the bar and food manager Moraham, Kan and everyone of the staff that are all so attentive to every guest.
STEPHEN SMALLEY – Sept 2019
First class. Nothing is too much trouble. Everything is organised for you – you don’t have to worry about anything. Efficient, helpful and friendly.
A lovely hotel with friendly, helpful staff. In a brilliant location convenient for restaurants etc. Rooms clean and comfortable.
ELIZABETH SCOTT – Sept 2019
Very helpful with each telephone call we made,
Staff & food was excellent , but parts of hotel needs referubishment , including our room, which was suppose to be superior but we stayed there last year in a basic room , & saw no difference, bar from having plunge pool.
JOHN WELLS – October 2019
Still special. Getting expensive to eat and drink though!
Great friendly service. Invaluable
Excellent – the restaurant deserves to be busier. Prices have gone up sharply in all Kalkan restaurants and hotels for food and drink. 15-20% up between May and September!
GRAHAM BAKER – Sept 2019
Very good service, would buy and recommend again.
The hotel was very friendly, but lacked in atmosphere, unlike its sister hotel up the the road.
ROGER CLIFFORD – Sept 2019
Great location Great Hotel Great Company.
Brilliant Hotel excellent location Wonderful staff
ALAN PACEY – Sept 2019
Excellent all round service from initial booking to emailing of boarding passes, welcome wine and fruit in room on arrival and the representatives in resort. 5 star service all round. Already booked 2020 holiday with them.
Excellent relaxed hotel, superb staff service and location. Visited 3 times and returning in 2020
RICHARD DAWSON – Sept 2019
Good booking experience. The service we received in the run up to our trip was great. Easy booking and good communication and information before we left. Helpful advice with visas.
Big room with generous private pool. Great views. Great food and service. Some tatty linens and towels provided. Noisy plumbing!
RACHEL COOPER – August 2019
Fantastic stay in Kalkan. We have used the Discerning Collection for a number of years now and would look no further when travelling to Turkey. Their standards of service are second to none from the booking, the personal service in the UK through to departure from resort. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to others.
What can we say? We go back year on year and have even extended our stay over recent years because the holiday is so good. We are already booked for next year so I think this says it all. We would thoroughly recommend the Asfiya Sea View hotel.
MALCOLM BUNCE – July 2019
Discerning Collection’s service is excellent .
SUSAN COLLINS -August 2009
“Very good. The holiday went to plan.
“Asfiya Sea View was very good. The room was spacious and pleasantly furnished. It could have done with new pillows and towels, which were looking old and worn.
The food both at breakfast and dinner was excellent.
However, Kalkan has become more upmarket and expensive.
We spent as much in two weeks there as on an all inclusive in the Caribbean so will think twice before going back.”
PAULA HALL – August 2019
As fab as ever! Amazing information and advice as always. Beata helped us reach a great solution when we couldn’t book the selected room for the full duration of our trip. Laura and Deniz arranged our requests in resort.
Great hotel, amazing team and incredible food. Always a pleasure to return.
MARY THEWLIS July 2019
Beatta was really helpful in the booking process, everything went smoothly.
“Asifya is in a great location, an easy stroll into Kalkan old town. Rooms were looked after really well, all of the staff were friendly and willing and the deal with Discerning gave us free entry to Yali beach club – great if you like to swim in the sea. Our room had a lovely privatish terrace with a dip pool so we only used the main pool area to swim. Denis from Discerning was helpful with restaurant recommendations.
Dinner in the hotel is also excellent – more people should try it.
All in all a very relaxing holiday in a fab location, could have stayed a month – and that’s unusual for us.”
KEITH FOGG – June 2019
Discerning Collection provided very good service and I would use again. Very good service provided by Discerning Collection including transfer between two different hotels.
“Very nice hotel, excellent breakfast and dinner, However, there were a couple of points which let it down for us: no shade on balcony – a parasol would have made a difference to the enjoyment of sitting there, also the curtains in our room (305) were extremely scruffy – dirty curtains and ripped and dirty nets, definitely not what one would expect for the price paid. (I believe from Laura, Discerning’s PA in Kalkan that new ones were on order, but it’s a shame they had not been replaced for the start of the season.)
Excellent location for walking into Kalkan and very pleasant staff.
MARGARET FOSTER – June 2019
Always friendly staff making for a relaxing holiday.
BEVERLY WOOKEY – June 2019
First time I have travelled with this company. Excellent service, would definitely travel with them again.
Second time at the Asfiya. A gem of a hotel in a wonderful location. The staff are brilliant, views beautiful. Food is excellent.
EILEEN DUNN – June 2019
Informative on information appertaining to holiday.
SUSAN RUSSELL – June 2019
Excellent service from start to finish.
Great location/food/bar/staff/room and rep
SANDRA ALLEN – May 2019
You can book with confidence with Discerning Collection!Excellent arrangements made for our journey! We loved the location, loved the hotel and the staff! We will certainly go again!
Our travel arrangements were excellent, we loved the location, loved the hotel and staff and will definitely be returning!
JENNIFER BROAD – May 2019
Excellent service as usual. It is good to be able to speak to an adviser who actually knows the hotel personally and can give excellent advice as Beata did with myself.
A lovely hotel. Adem and his wonderful team are so friendly and excel in customer service. Couldn’t fault anything!
PATRICIA OSBORNE – May 2019
One of the best travel agencies. Always a good friendly service. Accommodating, and very knowledgeable, with regards to the area and hotel.
Lovely hotel. Good service, but reception should be manned at all times, especially when you arrive in the early hours of the morning. It is very frustrating when you are waiting to be shown your room etc, after a long journey.
WILLIAM BOOTH – May 2019
Great hotel, great holiday company.
Lovely hotel with attentive staff, located in our favourite area in Kalkan. The Discerning Collection reps couldn’t have done more for us…even giving us a surprise bottle of bubbly to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
Back to Kalkan for the ninth time. Great food, lovely people and beautiful views. We had our own private pool this time.
ROWENA DAVIES BRAND – October 2018
Personalised service.”Friendly, knowledgeable and personalised service. Always made to feel special and a valued customer. Good hotel in great location within walking distance of town but quiet and secluded with wonderful views.”
Good value, great location, friendly people, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.
ANNETTE RUSHMERE – October 2018
They know their resorts and hotels really well so can advise. I like being able to see my room before I go so I know what I have booked
Holiday and hotel were great. The yoga wasn’t right for me but I opted out of most of the sessions. I joined in the dinners and really appreciated the boat trip
ELIZABETH ELVIN – October 2018
Perfect! the hotel and staff were very attentive at all times, my room with an amazing view was perfect, especially as there wasn’t a single supplement.
NICOLA AMIES – October 2018
Perfect from start to finish. We love the personal of talking with Beata or Charlotte to find the holiday we want and choose our room. Laura and Deniz our reps in Kalkan were amazing and so friendly. Hotel was superb and Kalkan as always was idyllic (5th time). Thank you all at Discerning Collection
Location and design both awesome. Fab staff and wonderful breakfasts.
DAVID LEIGH – October 2018
Discerning Collection offer the complete package, worry free. We have booked with Discerning Collection many times before. All they require is the date you are travelling and they do the rest – book accommodation including the room you want, arrange transfers, book flights from your nominated airport, books seat on the flight and have excellent knowledge of the resorts. The representatives in the Office in the UK and abroad go out of their way to ensure everything is taken care off.
We have stayed in the Asfiya Sea View a number of times. Perfect location with great sea views, food is outstanding, as good as anywhere in Kalkan and the staff go out of their way to offer good service. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Kalkan. Already booked for next year
LINDA MORRIS – October 2018
Wonderful hotel. We have been using them for a number of years and experience has always been good.
As before, a good experience.
GEOFFREY CRAIG – October 2018
“Everything, office service great, hotel wonderful, could not fault anything about the holiday, except one thing , it was not long enough, 10 days it should of been 3weeks, maybe next year.
We have been twice before with Discerning collection and will definitely use them again and have recommended them to many of our friends.
