Turkey’s Turquoise Coast is famous for its spectacular panoramas, and of course, the higher you go, the better the views. Perched on the hill up above Kalkan, Ambar Ev is one of three very appealing new Simpson Travel villas with wonderful views over the old town directly below and out to the islands in the bay.
The outlook is stunning, and perfectly complemented by the architect’s use of natural materials, designed to enhance the glorious situation without impacting too much on the surrounding landscape. Exposed stone walls and unpolished wood feature strongly, lending a warmth and authenticity that is often missing in new buildings. Ambar Ev is the most private and romantic of the three villas here, complete with a balcony off the master bedroom where you can enjoy a secluded nightcap looking down on the lights of the old town. There’s space for a family here too, with the unusual extra benefit of a walled lawn area where little ones can play.
Cosmopolitan Kalkan offers everything you need for a seaside holiday, with beach clubs and boat trips to enjoy, and an impressive range of rather sophisticated restaurants. Your holiday includes a hire car, but to make your arrival as effortless as possible, we also include private transfers from the airport so there’s no need to negotiate the steep local roads on your first day. The lofty position calls for a reasonably confident driver, but the views from the top are unquestionably worth it, and if you like to enjoy a glass or two of wine with dinner, taxis are plentiful and relatively inexpensive.
If you’d like to travel as a group whilst retaining the privacy of individual villas, Ambar Ev may be combined with Kaya Ev and Sedir Ev to sleep up to 17 guests.
Looking for 10 nights..? Why not add a 3-night stay in a boutique hotel to your villa holiday. To find out more, view our 10-night holidays in Turkey.

We’ve just returned from a fabulous week at Villa Amber Evi in Kalkan, Turkey. We couldn’t fault Simpson travel and will definitely be using them again next year. Special thanks to Kitty, our Turkey representative, who was excellent and there to help with any local info/travel plans needed during our stay.
Everything about the villa Ambar Ev was exactly as described, we couldn’t have booked a more relaxing and excellent holiday with views ..just to die for! The help and assistance we received from the local concierge and villa assistant was above and beyond, the restaurant food and shop prices unmatched anywhere in the UK. Thank you Simpson Travel for making our special week truly wonderful!
A wonderful stay in Kalkan. Beautiful views over a lively town! Everyone has been so friendly and kind. Kitty gave us some great recommendations and was always on hand if we needed anything. Thank you to Mustafa and his wife for looking after us too. We’re sad to be leaving but hope to be back again!
Another fantastic holiday thank you.
Ambar Ev, despite its proximity to the two other villas in the ‘complex’, was very private which we appreciated. Both Simpson Team Members we came into contact with were really helpful, approachable and friendly and Kitty even met us in Kalkan and lead us up to Ambar Ev which was above and beyond expectations. We also loved the Poseidon Boat trip which was a real highlight of the holiday.
We have had a wonderful holiday once again with Simpson travel and loved our stay in Kalkan and Kas and will be booking again for next year!
Beautiful villa, very comfortable and spacious for the four of us. Was also impressed with how clean everything was. The pool and terrace were lovely and we did not tire of the wonderful view. Stunning at all times of day especially sunset. Loved Kalkan, all the restaurants we ate in were great and very reasonable. Would like to visit when slightly cooler to do more exploring of the area as only visited Kaş and two beaches during our trip.
From booking to the return home everything was easy. Meeting the reps and the transfers to and from the villa ran smoothly. The villa was slightly out of town so you would either have to drive into Kalkan, or get a taxi if you wanted to. The villa is in a quiet location with a lovely bird's-eye view of Kalkan and the harbour. I can recommend Simpson Travel.
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, 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.
