Casa Pery is one of Kalkan’s most intriguing new boutique hideaways; intimate, design-led and wonderfully tactile, with the kind of atmosphere that makes you exhale the moment you step inside. Welcoming guests aged 16 and above, it brings something fresh to Turkey’s Turquoise Coast: panoramic sea views, beautiful design and a contemporary wellness concept that is entirely yours to embrace, or simply enjoy from the comfort of a sun lounger.
Set into the hillside on the edge of Kalkan Old Town, Casa Pery feels quietly tucked away, yet is brilliantly placed for dipping in and out of the town whenever the mood takes you. In around five minutes on foot, you can be on Suleyman Yilmaz Caddesi, right in the heart of Kalkan’s old town and restaurant scene, with rooftop dining, cocktail terraces and boutiques all within easy reach. Kalkan Public Beach is around seven minutes downhill, while Dalaman Airport is approximately one hour and forty minutes away by road.
Passing through the artisan wooden doors, the bustle of Kalkan begins to fade. A whitewashed courtyard opens around a sculptural olive tree, with a built-in corner sofa set into the wall and, beyond it, the first sweep of those wide-screen panoramic views across Kalkan Bay. From here, the hotel unfolds in wonderfully higgledy-piggledy fashion across the hillside: terraces, stairways, tucked-away corners, sunbathing decks and little pockets of privacy, revealing themselves one by one. With its sun-bleached walls, warm stone, woven parasols, rattan seating, natural linens and handcrafted details, Casa Pery has a softly glamorous Mykonian-meets-Tulum feel, yet still remains unmistakably Kalkan.
There are just seventeen rooms, each individually styled, and no two are entirely the same. Some have vast views across the bay, others feel more private and cocooning, while the most sought-after include the Jacuzzi Room and the Pool Suite. Throughout, the design is soft, tactile and beautifully composed rather than overly polished: chic without feeling cold, elegant without becoming stiff, and deeply comfortable in the way only truly thoughtful spaces can be. Everything invites you to while away the hours.
Outdoors, Casa Pery is made for sun-drenched days and slow afternoons. There are several bathing terraces scattered throughout the property, two main swimming pools, a smaller plunge pool and one private pool suite. One of the pools is finished in pebbles, giving it a wonderfully organic, textural feel, while fringed parasols, striped loungers and sweeping sea views create the sort of setting made for long books, iced coffees, freshly pressed juices and the occasional very good cocktail.
Wellness is part of the Casa Pery story, but never in a way that feels prescribed. In partnership with Istanbul-based ARCH, the hotel brings a fresh, holistic wellness concept to Kalkan, with a beautifully equipped studio for Power Yoga, Barre, Hot Pilates, ceramic workshops, matcha-making sessions and restorative rituals. Ice baths are also due to join the offering imminently. As part of your stay with Discerning Collection, complimentary participation in the hotel’s programme of wellness classes and workshops is included, allowing you to enjoy as many or as few experiences as you wish throughout your holiday. For some guests, that may mean movement, workshops and a week of reset. For others, wellness may look like sunbathing by the pool, lingering over breakfast, wandering into town for dinner and returning to a room that feels like a hug. Both versions are equally welcome here.
Breakfast is another part of the experience that feels carefully considered. Rather than a standard buffet, Casa Pery offers an à la carte breakfast built around three distinct styles. Anatolian Sunrise is a generous Turkish kahvalti with regional cheese, olives, homemade preserves, fresh breads, seasonal fruits, eggs cooked to your liking, sucuk and rosti potatoes. Albion brings a British favourite to the table with bacon, sausage, black pudding, mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, rosti potatoes, artisan breads and croissants. For those wanting something lighter, The Balance includes Greek yoghurt, granola, seasonal fruits, chia, honey, avocado on toast, fresh seasonal vegetables, nuts and detox water.
Lunch is relaxed and fresh, with egg dishes including Turkish menemen and omelettes, seasonal salads, a small selection of pasta dishes, paninis, burgers, halloumi stacks and chicken goujons. In the evening, the menu is deliberately concise, with dishes such as steak, salmon, Turkish mixed grill and a vegetable dish, followed by desserts including lemon cheesecake, brownie with ice cream and carrot and cinnamon cake. Add to this freshly pressed juices, smoothies, iced coffees, cocktails and an extensive wine list, and Casa Pery becomes as much a place to graze and linger as it is a place to sleep.
Family-owned by Ahmet, who is from Istanbul, and run with warmth by his son Ozan, manager Cem and their team, Casa Pery has a very personal spirit. It is polished, but never impersonal; stylish, but never sterile. This is a hotel that understands that today’s luxury lies in thoughtful design, genuine hospitality and the freedom to spend your holiday entirely your own way. For some, that may mean Barre, Hot Pilates, matcha workshops and moments of quiet reflection. For others, it is lingering over breakfast, losing track of time beside the pool and ending the day with cocktails overlooking the bay. Here, wellbeing is deeply personal, and every way of embracing it is equally welcome.
Casa Pery is an adults-only concept, welcoming guests aged 16 and above. Owing to its tiered hillside layout, steps and terraces, it is not ideally suited to guests with limited or reduced mobility.
