RECOMMENDED- Massive 4 Bed Villa, Sleeps 8, Infinity Pool, Great Views

We had a fabulous stay at Villa Ruya. The location is excellent with stunning views across the bay – the setting around the pool and balconies made it very easy to relax, and we barely touched the TV because the surroundings were enough.The villa is well equipped, with bathrooms on each floor and a kitchen that had everything we needed to prepare meals. The pool area was the highlight – peaceful, private, and with incredible views.We had a small issue with the lower ground bedroom air-conditioning, but the property agents responded quickly and had it fixed within a few hours. The pool boy was also great and brought us fresh bread every morning, which was a lovely touch.Our host Janine was fantastic to deal with. Communication was easy from the start, she answered all our questions, and she arranged our airport transfers both ways which made the trip stress-free.For taxis, it helps to mention nearby Villa Manzara or Villa Narin, as there are several Villa Ruyas in Kalkan. Once we did that, pick-ups and drop-offs were simple.Overall, this villa made our holiday in Kalkan special – great facilities, wonderful host, and the most beautiful views. We would happily return.

We had a brilliant 9 days in this property. The management company the owner uses were fantastic. They responded very quickly to our queries. The property was spacious and extremely clean and tidy. The furniture was comfortable and there was so much storage space too. The pool man delivered bread everyday which was great! Being up on the hill was peaceful and idyllic. We would definitely consider staying in this property again if we went back to Kalkan. Gutted that we had to come home!

We loved staying in Villa Ruya and exploring Kalkan. The villa is as described and has fantastic views over the harbour. The villa is spacious and has a lovely pool which is very well maintained. We enjoyed going to Beach clubs, visiting the local beaches, going on boats, shopping, doing water sports and trying the restaurants. All the restaurants were great and we were spoilt for choice! Would highly recommend.

We found the 5 star reviews really useful when booking Villa Ruya. The villa, Janine and her local team were all amazing, helpful, wonderful and more... The villa is very clean, pool amazing and views to die for from all rooms and garden. The villa caters for all needs - young and old. Kalkan is a great place for all ages. Good restaurants, nightclubs, watersports, shops.... We had a fantastic holiday and will certainly be booking again. We almost didnt write a review as wanted to keep this a secret. However Janine is so lovely we had to!

Great value, lovely pool, brilliant air conditioning.

Great property that offers very comfortable accommodation, spacious rooms with some really great views of the Kalkan bay/harbour. Set well above the main village area in a new-ish residential area with easy drive into town, and in very quiet neighbourhood. Views are wonderful, and Kalkan has lots of these, with Villa Ruya commanding a full 270 degree panoramic vista! Defo go for the top floor master suite! Omer the Pool Man, very pleasant and helpful - lovely man. The agents were most helpful - rapid response to slight electrical problem we had during the stay, super-quick sort out! Absolutely recommend Villa Ruya for families and friends.

We stayed in Villa Ruya for a fortnight in August 2020, while the world was still in the grip of Coronavirus and quarantine for UK travellers was switching seemingly randomly between countries. Luckily, Turkey stayed as a safe destination for the duration of our holiday, and we were able to enjoy two fabulous weeks away from UK media's 24-hour coverage of anything vaguely pandemic-related. Everything was great, from the weather, to Kalkan itself and the stupendous views over the Med. There were five of us staying in the villa, including our 12 year-old, 19 year-old and 21-year-old kids. And considering it's quite difficult to find somewhere that suits such differing ages (and us!), this holiday really hit the spot. The villa itself is very high spec and has absolutely everything you could need. That makes it a great place to hang out both during the day and night. We spent several lazy days just lounging by the pool, enjoying staring out to sea or making use of the BBQ. There's also table tennis and table football on offer if you need some distraction. There's plenty to do locally and we visited beaches, ventured to a gorge and really enjoyed whiling the day away at the fantastic choice of beach clubs. Kalkan has an astonishing choice of restaurants, bars and shops, all good quality from what we experienced, and you really can walk into town easily down the steep roads. Taxis back are only a couple of quid and well worth it to avoid the heart-attack inducing climb. Janine, the owner, was very easy to communicate with throughout, and the whole booking process was seamless. While we were there, Omar from the agency looking after the property visited daily, bringing us bread each morning and stopping for a chat in the evenings. The cleaning crew also did a fantastic job in keeping the villa spotless. All in all, a really enjoyable holiday - one of our best in years - and I'd highly recommend it.

This beautiful villa has the best views ever! The villa is so spacious and comfortable we couldn’t have wished for more.

We have been to Turkey many times but this was our first trip to Kalkan. We immediately fell in love with the area and people. The villa was lovely and had everything we needed. Omar visited us every day and was very friendly and always happy to help. He ensured we had everything we needed. We will definitely be returning to Kalkan again.

7 (4 adults, 3 kids) of us stayed in this lovely spacious villa for two weeks at the end of August, what a beautiful setting high above the bay of Kalkan with incredible views, we loved just hanging out at the villa, playing in the pool relaxing on the loungers, but when we ventured out the town of Kalkan and its surrounding area has so much to offer, the centre of town is a short but steep walk down and a taxi back (only 15 lira) we didn't bother wiring a car and we didn't need one. . Slightly further afield we enjoyed a wonderful day canoeing down the Xanthos river and chilling out on Patara Beach, or exploring the Georges further up the mountains. In the evenings we had lovely meals on the BBQ or strolled into town which has restaurants catering for all tastes and budgets, and generally the turkish food is excellent (one of our party is a vegetarian and there was lots of choice for them). Our two weeks flew by, and we all said that we would love to return to Kalkan and to Villa Ruya.
