Pitch up at Villa La Vie, Kalkan, to escape or get the party started. A recently renewed 5 bedroom property, sleeps ten guests, with stunning bay vistas and conveniently located within a ten minute stroll from Kalkan harbour.
**Neither Villa nor hotel- new for 2025 we are delighted to offer Villa La Vie as a villa only stay, or with an enhanced array of luxury services to further enhance our stay. Please refer to the pricing page and our ‘Villa La Vie- enhanced villa services section’ to learn more.
Oozing a laid back and comfortable ambience Villa La Vie is the perfect base to explore Kalkan and the wider region. If you are simply looking to flop and drop, spending your days enjoying the spectacular poolside setting and bay view vistas Villa La Vie has all the amenities to make your stay a memorable one. For those curious minds looking to experience the local scene, you don’t need to stroll far to reach one of the many beach clubs that ring the bay and downtown Kalkan is close enough for you to pop in and out of the action as and when you like.
Refreshed for the 2023 season, Villa La Vie boats five spacious bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Rooms are light and airy mixing fresh and colourful fabrics with contemporary furniture. Four bedrooms are double, ideal for couples, and one twin bedroom is perfect for friends sharing or children. Floor to ceiling glass bedroom windows imbibe the widescreen views and give way to five extensive furnished terraces providing plenty of private areas so you can be as social or independent as you like while enjoying a little slice of paradise and perhaps a glass or two of wine!
The open plan kitchen, dining and living space is a good size and the kitchen is fully fitted with all you could possibly need to rustle up a storm. The inside area lends itself to lingering comfortably on cooler days at the end of the season. Bifold glass doors provide a sense of inside, outside living and make it effortless to drift between the two spaces.
Boasting magnificent views to sea, the hot-blood orange sunsets provide the perfect back drop for family days and nights in. A gorgeous covered veranda practically provides respite from the intense heat of the high season sun and is the perfect spot for long leisurely lunches or alfresco suppers. There is also a good-size barbecue ideal for grazing around with your best people.
Among its finest features are two outside jacuzzi’s and the salt water swimming pool takes centre stage in the garden. The surrounding manicured pool deck and fragrant terraces are beautifully dressed with a scattering of day beds and parasols, the most serene setting to rejuvenate under blissful skies.
The owners of Villa La Vie have a real passion for service and hospitality. To this end, they have introduced the option to book villa only or a luxury enhanced offering including breakfast, lunches, dinners and luxury gulet charter. We feel the latter transforms a holiday here from a classic villa stay to something more special and as a guest it leaves you feeling relaxed from the moment you arrive (visit useful information and details to learn more).
In addition to the magnificent views excellent en-plein- air facilities and comfy sleeping quarters. There are also several toys and enhanced facilities providing all the components for a relaxing and entertaining summer holiday. A games room and ping pong table will provide hours of entertainment for in-house tournaments. For those looking to indulge in wellness, and take life at a slightly slower pace there is also a sauna and hammam!
Kalkan is a superb choice for a summer holiday. Once a quaint fishing village, today it has grown into an elegant harbourside town attracting a discerning clientele. The town rises from an picture-perfect seafront setting and it has retained much of its traditional charm due to conservation restrictions. Small and niche, Kalkan is celebrated for it’s Ottoman Greek architecture, petite pebble beach, boho beach clubs, authentic Thursday market and especially famous for its rooftop restaurants serving decadent cuisine.
Villa La Vie is an absolute crowd pleaser. An impeccable choice for several families taking a holiday together, or a large group of friends. Spacious, modern and leaving you wanting for nothing this is as close to perfect as it gets.
