Yali in Turkish translates as waterside and that’s exactly what you get with this lovely villa, perfectly located in the most requested area of Kalkan. The sea along the aptly-named Turquoise Coast is jewel-bright and irresistible on a hot summer’s day, and the chance to slip into the sparkling waters directly from your own private bathing platform is the ultimate Kalkan luxury.
The villa sleeps up to eight in four spacious en-suites, and works particularly well for a small group or family with older children, who can come and go as they please from Kalkan under their own steam. It’s a property that was built to impress and polished to perfection, from the sleek marble hamam to the spacious terrace where you can idle the day away flitting between pool, sunbed and sea. For an early or late season holiday, the pool can be heated by arrangement.
Whilst the grown-ups might prefer their own private waterfront seclusion, teenagers love to see and be seen at the local beach clubs such as Palm Beach and Zest, both just a gentle stroll away. All this makes Yali Evi an ideal base for a car-free stay, with the restaurants, harbour and vibrant Old Town all walkable for a spot of shopping or a memorable rooftop dinner beneath the stars.

We had a fantastic, relaxing stay at Yali Evi. The villa was extremely well appointed with great views over Kalkan and the bay. The villa was a short 5 minute drive to the town where there was a great selection of restaurants with delicious food and fantastic service. The complimentary boat trip on Poseidon was an amazing experience, especially for our 9 year old daughter who enjoyed swimming in the beautiful clear sea. There was plenty of seating areas outside the villa, both in the sun and in the shade, and a delightful area next to the sea to enjoy a lunch or a glass of wine in the evening whilst watching the sun set across the bay.
The whole experience of our holiday to villa Yali Evi, Kalkan was excellent. The flight was on time, our transfer in Turkey was very good and we arrived at a beautiful villa to begin our holiday. The views from the terraces, bedrooms and pool were outstanding and although the walk through the gardens to the sea was steep we enjoyed being able to swim directly from the property. Our concierge Zeze was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and advised us how to take advantage of being in such a lovely position with access to a very interesting bay and town. The complimentary gulet trip was great fun and enjoyed by all of the party - from the six year old to the seventy nine year old! We were looked after brilliantly, expertly and professionally by the Simpson team making for a wonderful holiday.
The Villa, location pool and sea access were absolutely amazing and perfect for our family, one of the best holidays ever. We will come back.
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.
Lapped by translucent blue water, Kalkan sits on Turkey’s stunning Turquoise Coast: a cosmopolitan, vibrant resort perfect for exploring the timeless beauty of ancient Lycia's pine-clad shores. The pretty town centre is a treasure trove of narrow streets, whitewashed Ottoman Greek houses and inviting boutiques. It's also famous for its harbourside lounge bars and rooftop restaurants. Carved into the hillsides hovering just above the shore, Kalkan's beach clubs are a unique way to make the most of this spectacular coast, popular with all ages and a huge hit if you're on holiday with teenagers; stay in one of our villas and enjoy complimentary access to the Indigo Beach Club.
Our guests return to Kalkan year after year. To find out why, visit our collection of luxury villas and hotels – and, if you book your Kalkan holiday with Simpson Travel, we'll also include a complimentary hamam experience and a day trip along the Turquoise Coast in a traditional wooden gület.
