A serene Thai-inspired villa with private pool, wellness centre, and exclusive cabana on Kalkan’s western shore
Located in a quiet corner of Kalkan’s western shore, Villa Sidyma is a stylish and serene beach house, ideal for up to six guests. Inspired by Thai-style beach villas, this contemporary villa is one of four at the Likya Gardens Hotel. Encased by wild gardens filled with fragrant foliage, it offers privacy and a relaxed ambiance.
Outside, a large rectangular pool is framed by sun loungers, parasols, and comfortably furnished terraces. A shaded al fresco seating area, surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush greenery, provides an idyllic spot for drinks or leisurely meals. The outdoor space feels like a private oasis, alive with Mediterranean scents.
The villa is built over two floors, featuring high-spec fixtures and a neutral palette throughout. The ground floor features the main living areas: a well-equipped kitchen, a dining table for six, and a welcoming living area with an L-shaped sofa. This level also includes the villa’s private wellness centre, complete with an indoor pool, sauna, hammam, and a relaxation space with a double daybed. Upstairs, three well-appointed bedrooms await—two doubles and one twin—each with an en-suite bathroom. Some of the bedrooms offer sea views, adding to the villa’s coastal appeal.
Just 30 metres from the villa, guests can access the private beach club, shared exclusively with guests of the Likya Gardens Hotel. Rustic steps lead down to the seafront, where Villa Sidyma guests enjoy complimentary use of a private cabana. The beach club offers loungers, parasols, diving platforms, and direct sea access, with a waiter and towel service providing light snacks, fresh juices, and cooling drinks.
Beyond the villa, guests are perfectly placed to explore the Lycian Coast’s rich and varied culture, from ancient ruins to remote mountain villages. Kalkan’s charming harbour and renowned rooftop restaurants are less than 900 metres away, promising unforgettable culinary experiences.
With its private pool, wellness facilities, and exclusive cabana, Villa Sidyma combines the seclusion of a private villa with the perks of hotel services, including complimentary breakfast and access to the exceptional amenities at the Likya Gardens Hotel.
While it may be hard to tear yourself away from the comfort of this villa, there’s so much to discover beyond the garden gate. Peruse our local guide to Kalkan, where we share insider tips on the best beach clubs, historical sites, off-the-beaten-track restaurants, unique experiences, day trips and more — everything you need to plan your perfect stay in Kalkan with the Discerning Collection.

Villa Sidyma Details
A detached three-bedroom villa with a private pool, an indoor wellness area, and a private cabana overlooking Kalkan Bay. Situated within the grounds of the Likya Gardens Hotel, guests enjoy the added benefits of hotel facilities, including a complimentary breakfast service.
Ground Floor
The villa is accessed via a private pathway leading directly to the decked pool terrace. Upon entering, there is a guest cloakroom and a corridor that takes you to the wellness area. This space includes an indoor plunge pool (which can be heated on request and with a supplement), a traditional hammam, a sauna, a separate shower, and a double day bed for relaxing. A separate WC and basin are also located here.
To the front of the interior of the ground floor is the large open plan living area. The dining table comfortably seats six and is divided from the living room by a rotating Smart TV, which can be enjoyed from either side. The living area itself is furnished with a large L-shaped sofa, armchairs, and a coffee table, with sliding glass doors that lead directly out to the swimming pool and surrounding furnished terraces.
Also on the ground floor is the fully equipped kitchen, featuring a fridge-freezer, built-in microwave, dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob with extractor fan, Turkish coffee maker, sandwich maker, kettle, and a kitchen island with a sink and two stools—perfect for casual meals or a morning coffee.
First Floor
All of the bedrooms are located on the first floor and each is carefully designed following a similar theme and colour scheme.
The first double bedroom is located at the top of the stairs and includes a wall-mounted TV, wardrobes, a dressing table with a stool, and an en-suite shower room. Sliding doors open onto a shared, covered balcony furnished with two chairs and a small table—perfect for taking in the sea views.
The twin bedroom, positioned at the rear of the villa, can be configured as a double on request. It features wardrobes, a dressing table with a stool, a wall-mounted TV, and an en-suite shower room. This room has a juliette balcony overlooking the garden.
The second double bedroom includes the same amenities as the first, with the addition of an extra glass door leading to a side balcony. This room also connects to the shared, covered balcony, offering a similar sea-facing vantage point. A utility cupboard on the landing contains a washing machine and tumble dryer for guest use.
Outside
The villa’s private pool is surrounded by a decked terrace. Six sun loungers and three parasols are provided for soaking up the sun, along with a comfortable outdoor alfresco seating area.
