Our Favourite Honeymoon Villas and Hotels
Likya Pavilion Hotel – Pavilion Pool House
An elegant marriage of villa seclusion and boutique hotel indulgence, the Pavilion Pool House is among the most exclusive honeymoon hideaways on this stretch of coast. One of just ten suites cascading down the hillside, it boasts soaring floor-to-ceiling windows that draw Kalkan’s glittering bay into every corner.
The design feels at once expansive and intimate. Pale stone walls and soft linen furnishings flow into a galleried bedroom that overlooks the sitting room from its romantic mezzanine perch. French windows open onto a private garden of thatched alcoves and canopied daybeds, all framing a generous pool that shimmers in the sun.
When you’re ready to emerge, the complimentary beach club and Kalkan’s vibrant harbour are within easy reach — though many guests find it hard to leave one of the most exclusive honeymoon suites in Kalkan.
Water’s Edge Villas 4, 5 & 6
One of a prestigious cluster of romantic boltholes for two — all of which form part of our portfolio — Water’s Edge 4 occupies an enviable perch in a quiet corner of Kalamar Bay. Honeyed stone walls and carved wooden bathing platforms slip straight into the turquoise water, while vast windows frame Mouse and Snake Islands in cinematic detail.
Inside, the open-plan space is flooded with light, flowing seamlessly from the understated kitchen to the elegant sitting area and on to the master bedroom. A private sea-facing pool and shaded terrace edged with ancient olive trees invite long afternoons of idling in the sun.
Though Kalkan’s old town is only minutes away by taxi, chances are you’ll linger here, wrapped in the hush of your own shoreline — one of the best places to honeymoon in Kalkan for those who cherish peace and privacy.
Villa Nana
Villa Nana embodies contemporary style at its most serene — an open-plan haven poised above Kalkan Bay’s mirrored blue. Arranged across a single floor with a vast glass frontage, it offers uninterrupted seascapes from every angle, whether you’re curled up on the sofa or soaking in the free-standing bath.
Cool interiors in a tranquil palette are punctuated by modern art and tactile Turkish textiles, creating a space that feels both sophisticated and inviting. Outside, a sleek infinity pool glistens beside scented borders and shaded loungers — made for unhurried afternoons and sunset cocktails.
With Palm and Zest Beach Clubs a few minutes’ stroll away and Kalkan harbour reachable along the coastal path, you’re perfectly placed to dip in and out of the scene whenever the mood strikes.
Fidanka Hotel – Exclusive Jacuzzi Suite
Effortlessly charming and brimming with character, Fidanka Hotel is a pristine rustic hideaway perched on one of Kisla’s most desirable slopes. Created by a family of passionate gardeners and collectors, the hotel feels like a secret world of botanical abundance, where terracotta roofs peek through a jungle of lemon, pomegranate, and bougainvillea.
The Exclusive Jacuzzi Suites — Manolya and Mimoza — occupy the highest vantage, each crafted from ancestral cedar and crowned by panoramic views across Kalkan’s glistening bay. Inside, the atmosphere is disarmingly romantic: timbered ceilings, bright tiled floors, and a jacuzzi placed for lingering soaks as the sea melts into dusk.
Private entrances and generous terraces offer a sense of seclusion, while the two pools and fragrant gardens invite you to drift through long, unhurried days. When you’re ready to explore, Villa Mahal Beach Club lies temptingly below — though many never leave Fidanka’s embrace.
Lures Hotel – Villa Sea View with Private Pool
Perched high above Kalamar Bay, Lures Hotel is a study in refined Mediterranean living — at once grand and discreet, where expansive gardens tumble towards a private beach club and every vista is framed by Mouse and Snake Islands drifting on the horizon.
The Villa Sea View with Private Pool is its most coveted retreat, a two-storey sanctuary where minimal contemporary interiors flow across 76 square metres of cool, uncluttered space. Sunlight pours through vast windows onto pale tiled floors and a sleek king-size bedroom, while two elegant bathrooms and a discreet kitchenette add a note of considered luxury.
Outside, a vast terrace and shimmering private pool invite languid afternoons beneath the Turkish sun, with uninterrupted views that drift from sapphire sea to dusk’s molten glow. When you crave a little conviviality, the hotel’s acclaimed restaurants and serene spa lie moments away — though many guests scarcely leave their private haven.
Likya Gardens Hotel – Garden Pool Suite Limyra
A serene sanctuary on Kalkan’s westerly shore, Likya Gardens blends the intimacy of a boutique hideaway with the allure of a private waterfront. Once a simple guesthouse, it now offers just a handful of chic suites and villas cascading towards the sea, each designed for unhurried living and quiet indulgence.
The Garden Pool Suite Limyra is among its most coveted retreats. Cocooned in dense foliage and bright, flowering gardens, it offers sweeping views across the bay to Hotel Villa Mahal. Inside, crisp neutral interiors feel refreshingly airy, softened by contemporary furnishings and a scattering of artefacts that lend character without clutter.
Floor-to-ceiling sliding windows blur the line between indoors and out, opening onto a secluded terrace and an inviting infinity pool that appears to spill straight into the sea. For those who cherish seclusion and effortless style, this is an idyll made for lingering.
Oasis Hotel – Plunge Pool Suite
Highly regarded for its warm hospitality and prime position above Kalkan’s old harbour, the Oasis Hotel has redefined refined Mediterranean living with beautifully refreshed rooms for 2025. Perched at the hotel’s highest point, the Plunge Pool Suites feel wonderfully secluded, with panoramic views stretching across the rooftops to the glittering bay beyond.
Inside, the atmosphere is light and breezy. Pale timber finishes, crisp linens and a soothing palette invite deep relaxation, while thoughtful touches — air conditioning, a sleek shower room, and the choice of double or twin beds — ensure absolute comfort.
Sliding glass doors lead out to your private terrace, where sunbeds and a parasol await beside the plunge pool — the perfect place to laze away an afternoon or watch the lights dance on the water as evening falls. For those who cherish intimacy and effortless style, it’s a tranquil eyrie made for lingering.
A Mini Guide to Honeymoon Moments in Kalkan
Lunch at the Fish Shack
Reached by speedboat or a steep scramble down the hillside, Yuksel’s ramshackle fish shack is the antithesis of polished dining — and all the more romantic for it. Kosk seating hugs the water’s edge, the sea a glimmering tapestry of turquoise and jade. Lunch is whatever was caught that morning: grilled fish, crisp sigara böreği, homemade chips, garden-fresh salad. It’s humble, heavenly, and quietly unforgettable.
Sunset at the Patara Dunes
There are few better ways to end the day than with a bottle of wine shared atop Patara’s golden dunes. Watch the sky melt into the sea as the sun dips behind the longest beach in Turkey — a painterly, near-mythic moment best followed by supper in a local village taverna.
Private Gulet Charter
For the ultimate day afloat, charter a gulet and spend lazy hours drifting from bay to bay. Swim, snorkel, doze, repeat. Onboard lunches are simple, sun-drenched feasts — grilled sea bass, tomato salad, aubergine meze — served with a glass of something cold and a view of nothing but blue.
Couples Hammam & Spa
Slip into serenity with a couples massage or hammam at one of Kalkan’s reputable spas, such as the Oasis Serenity Spa. Warm marble, fragrant oils, and a gentle rhythm of water rituals leave you glowing. Finish with a fresh fruit platter and a glass of fizz beneath the bougainvillea.
Dinner at Hotel Villa Mahal
Reserve one of the candlelit platforms at Hotel Villa Mahal and dine just inches above the waterline. This is where the Aegean performs its finest party trick — shifting from silver to gold as the sun drops behind the bay. A mesmerising spot for milestone moments.
A Private Cabana by the Sea
Spend a day in blissful seclusion at Lures or Zest Beach Club, where private cabanas fringe the shoreline and waiter service means the only finger you’ll lift is to press the buzzer for another cocktail.
These are just a few of the most romantic things to do in Kalkan — a town that lends itself effortlessly to slow, meaningful moments. If you’d like to explore more of what this enchanting town has to offer, discover our full guide to Kalkan.
