This unique location boasts simply stunning sea views from sunrise to sunset. The architect-designed Villa Sumac has five spacious ensuite double bedrooms and can comfortably accommodate up to ten guests in some style. The villa is ideal for a large family holiday or a group of friends sharing.
This three-storey, detached property is constructed from classic Mediterranean white-washed walls, with floor-to-ceiling picture postcard windows that open onto sea view terraces and glass-fronted balconies. The villa has all the mod cons, including complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi, a private underground garage, and an elevator to transport you to the pool terrace. Villa Sumac is set in its grounds and garden, with ancient olive and seasonal fruit trees. A centrepiece infinity pool takes pride of place, and a gym keeps you fit whilst on holiday.
Park the car, take the lift to the pool terrace, and enter the villa at ground floor level. Here you will find a light, airy, open-plan living space with Anatolian-inspired interiors. The seating area has an inviting L-shaped sofa scattered with traditional cushions, armchairs you could sink into, designer coffee tables, and a flat-screen smart television inset into wood panelling. There is an elegant dining set that is perfect for some formal splendid indoor entertaining. The adjacent sleek black and stainless steel kitchen is fully equipped with all the latest built-in appliances you will need for your holiday. The first of the five exquisitely-appointed bedrooms has a double bed, an ensuite bathroom, and access to the pool terrace, ideal for those who like a swim before breakfast. A guest cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Take the floating staircase to the first floor, where there are three double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a double bed, an ensuite bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath, and a furnished glass-fronted sea-view balcony. One bedroom has a double bed, and the other twin beds, both are ensuite, with sea view balconies. On the lower ground floor, you will find the fifth bedroom, also with a double bed and an ensuite bathroom. A state-of-the-art gym completes the accommodation.
The outside living space is superb, with a capacious sea view, a tiled terrace, a well-maintained wrap-around garden, and a step-entry infinity swimming pool. Modern mesh sun loungers surround the pool, and double deep cushioned day beds, perfectly positioned in the shallow waters of the swimming pool to capture those views and dip in your toes. Parasols and wooden pergolas keep you shaded from the summer sun. Sway the afternoon away in a swing seat. A glass-fronted, sunken soft seating well is the most magical hot spot to meet for cocktails and watch the sunset over the horizon. As dusk falls, take your place at the outside dining table, and feast alfresco on freshly grilled barbecue dishes as you raise a glass to the most memorable holiday in the most exceptional location.

Location:
Villa Sumac can be found at the apex of the hillside overlooking beautiful Kalamar Bay, near the exclusive harbour town resort of Kalkan, situated on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, the jewel of the Mediterranean Sea. The villa is one hundred and thirty kilometres from Dalaman Airport, a scenic one-and-a-half-hour journey through the Turkish countryside and Taurus mountains.
The old town of Kalkan is covered in cobbled streets, traditional white houses festooned in colourful bougainvillaea, and home to a reputed one hundred and fifty restaurants, cafes, and bars, enticing souvenir shops, and designer brand stores stuffed with objects of desire. After dark, dine in one of the famous rooftop restaurants with stunning harbour and sea views, sampling traditional Turkish delights and international cuisine. From the villa, it is a short drive to the local shops and restaurants of Kalamar and a five-minute drive into Kalkan, where you can find supermarkets, banks, and a local Thursday market.
Within walking distance of the villa are three Kalamar Bay beach clubs, with restaurants, infinity swimming pools, and bathing platforms. Kalkan town has its own pebble beach with organised sun loungers and brollies, easy access into the calm Mediterranean sea, and a cute cafe. Travel further afield to the stunning Kaputas Beach, set in a natural gorge, or take a trip to Patara, where you will find twenty kilometres of unspoilt golden sands and a protected area for the hatching Caretta Caretta turtles. Patara also boasts an archaeological site over two thousand years old, with not just one but two ancient amphitheatres, not to mention the most stunning sunsets, best seen from the ever-changing sand dunes.
All aboard a traditional gulet for a day of sunbathing, swimming, and snorkelling, enjoy a meal of homecooked meze, then sail back to the harbour, cocktail in hand, to watch the sunset.
The Lycian Way walking trail cuts through Kalkan. Follow in the footsteps of thousands of years of history as you trek the trail taking you through major archaeological sites, local villages, dramatic coastlines, and the areas’ flora and fauna.
The harbour town of Fethiye is also full of ancient sites worth seeing, as well as a foodie-heaven fish market, and home to some seriously good designer labels and fabulous jewellery shopping. The nearer town of Kas is just twenty-five kilometres in the other direction and worth the journey alone along one of the world’s most stunning and dramatic coastlines.
