The stylish and contemporary villa sits above Kalamar Bay in a dramatic elevated position. With four en-suite bedrooms and its own rooftop bar, the villa has the feel of a luxurious small hotel, ideally suited to groups of friends or families looking for a high degree of comfort. The crowning glory is the ultra-glamorous swimming pool, complete with a raised platform so you can cool off in the shallows without getting your hair wet. The view from here is simply mesmerising, encompassing the whole electric-blue sweep of Kalamar bay and its islands in the distance. For those looking for a bit more action, the Kalamar Beach Club is just a short drive away with a good choice of watersports on offer.
Zaffre’s roof terrace is a natural focal point in the early evening; enjoy the perfect sundowner here before dinner in Kalkan, or settle in for a magical evening under the stars in your own private bar.

This holiday was beyond our expectations. We have heard of the Simpson experience but were overwhelmed to actually experience it ourselves. Kay went above and beyond to look after us and gave us a true insight to what Turkey is all about. A trip to the Kalkan Regency was incredible, BBQ night (not to be missed) Hamam and Thai massage, wonderful. The Turkish people are just so welcoming. We wanted for nothing and completely fell in love with Zaffre and Kalkan!
We enjoyed a particularly restful two weeks in Villa Zaffre. We've never been to Kalkan before but loved all it had to offer. Friendliness and hospitality of the locals an in the restaurants stood out for us. Highlights included a day trip on the gulet and visiting Indigo Beach Club. Enjoyed our fab break in this gorgeous villa. Thank you for the memories.
Our first holiday with Simpson Travel and we will definitely book with you again. Everything - booking, transfers, villa was trouble free and our rep was available and extremely helpful.
Our holiday at Villa Zaffre was amazing thanks to Simpson travel’s amazing service whilst booking and travelling to our destination. Once there our local concierge Kay Ulus was extremely friendly and helpful with great knowledge of the resort . The Villa itself was incredible with amazing views .
We had an amazing holiday thanks to Simpson Travel. Kay, our rep, has been extremely helpful and we enjoyed the villa with all its amenities and the fantastic panoramic views. The choice of restaurants in Kalkan is exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed the boat trip on Poseidon. All eight of us found our first visit to Turkey very enjoyable especially meeting friendly people. All the facilities in the villa are good and the infinity pool is beautiful with amazing views across the bay. Most of all, the service from Simpson Travel from the booking process to arrivals and departure was amazing. We will recommend and we will be returning!
Thank you Kay and the Simpson team – we have had a truly wonderful holiday. Best pool ever and a welcome reward after the steep climb up the hill! We loved Korsan Kitchen – the mezze, the barbecues at the villa, the coffee and croissants and the evening cocktails. Also loved traditional breakfasts at Sahika Bahçe in the mountains – superb! We loved all the shops and roof terrace cafés and restaurants – fabulous holiday spot. Thank you.
Another wonderful week in Kalkan. Wonderful weather and incredible views. As usual enjoyed our drive to Bouzivigan and the surrounding area, with lunch in Islamlar. Many thanks to Yasin and family and looking forward to next year.
We’ve all really enjoyed Kalkan. Our highlights were the boat trip, Coast restaurant, Mey & Meze, Zest Beach Club, Kalamaki restaurant and fresh juices from Korsan Kitchen. Kay has been brilliant at immediately sorting out any little problems we had at the villa.
Our post-Covid return to Villa Zaffre was most enjoyable. Our Simpson rep, Kitty, was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout our stay, and we look forward to hopefully returning again next year.
Villa Zaffre is amazing! We had a fantastic week of sun, visiting ancient sites and a memorable trip on Poseidon.
A really fantastic week in a superb villa. So much to do and see. Kitty recommended superb restaurants, the Poseidon tr is a must and so is the Whistler sunset trip. We had 4 yng adults with us who loved the bars.
Wonderful week in a beautiful villa. Lots to do and see, excellent recommendations from Kitty. Travelled a little and relaxed a lot.
We have travelled with Simpson Travel several times now and can highly recommend them. All elements of dealing with them are excellent - from the actual villas and destinations to booking and subsequent communication with them. They make sure you are well looked after and tend to any question or difficulty quickly, effectively and courteously. We will always look at booking with them before any other travel company.
A lovely villa in an excellent position.
We have had a fabulous 2-week family holiday in Kalkan. We stayed in two villas to try out two locations and this worked out very well. Both villas were beautifully done out and both in great locations. One high up on the hills overlooking the whole of Kalkan and the other lower down overlooking both Kalkan and Kalamar bays. They both had fabulous outdoor space with amazing views, fab kitchens and shower rooms and comfortable bedrooms. Simpson staff were all fantastic and the local staff who helped out the Simpson team. Everyone was friendly helpful and very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Kalkan is a lovely place filled with wonderful restaurants, bars and shops with great boat trips on the harbour. We had a wonderful day out at sea on the Poseidon boat put on by Simpson and that was fantastic. We also did the Turkish baths which was great fun. We visited Islamlar and Patara and the ruins are incredible. All in all another wonderful holiday with Simpson. Thank you.
We really enjoyed our time in Villa Zaffre, especially the day out on the Poseidon and the Hamam. The villa is lovely and the views are amazing. The town is charming and we did lots of shopping. Overall a brilliant holiday.
Villa Zaffre excellent. Fabulous pool and views to die for. Simpson did not disappoint!
Villa wonderful, but the best thing was the resort rep who was so nice and helpful, an absolute star!
From start to finish our holiday to the stunning Villa Zaffre was perfect. Wonderful pool, luxurious poolside furniture and breathtaking views. Loved every minute of our visit to Kalkan. Hope to return next year.
Simpson Travel is a superb company. We have never booked a holiday with such an efficient company, they made everything so easy. Villa Zaffre was stunning, we have never stayed in anything so wonderful. We will definitely be using them again in the future and cannot recommend them highly enough.
What a splendid place. To contravene our cardinal rule of 30+ years of travel, we are actually thinking about coming back to the same place on holiday for once, it was that good! Thank you.
Villa Zaffre is a stunning villa. We had three generations staying and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Kalkan and its people are very friendly and welcoming. The restaurants are never ending in their selections and the Beach Clubs add an additional element to the town.
Simpson Travel made the whole booking process painless. Their experience is really highlighted in covering details such as airport hotels, car parking and car hire. Each transaction was totally painless. The two villas we stayed in Zaffre and Korsan Taş Bahçe were both beautiful, as was the resort. I have no doubt that we will be using Simpson services again.
We loved our first visit to Kalkan. Villa Zaffre has amazing views and was a perfect base for all our family and friends. Would highly recommend Kirsti, the local representative, and Simpson Travel to anyone. We all want to go back!
The villa overlooking Kalkan and Kalamar bays was spectacular in every way. The accommodation was beautiful and the views spectacular. Everything was tastefully done – from the kitchen equipment to the poolside furniture. We were sorry to leave!
Our choice of Turkey properties is diverse, ranging from simple charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal.
To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
Kalkan holidays are all about beach clubs, boat trips and enjoying a luxury stay in some of the best holiday accommodation anywhere in our entire collection. Kalkan sits on Turkey’s stunning Turquoise Coast: a cosmopolitan, vibrant resort, famous for its harbourside lounge bars and rooftop restaurants, offering mouth-watering fusion cuisine where east meets west in a magical setting. A day at a beach club is the classic Kalkan holiday experience, a big hit with sociable teens but also for couples who can enjoy a decadent afternoon of waiter service on a lounger by the sea.
The town centre is a treasure trove of narrow streets, whitewashed Ottoman houses and inviting boutiques. Other Kalkan holiday highlights for Simpson Travel guests include a complimentary hamam (steam bath) and a Turquoise Coast cruise in a wooden gület. Kalkan has an incredibly loyal following; browse some of our favourites below and find out why so many of our guests rebook their Kalkan holidays year after year.
