We love the rounded edges and organic shapes at Villa Gamze, not forgetting of course the spectacular views of Kalkan Bay from both the pool and the roof terrace. The villa has its own landscaped garden with fruit trees and colourful sub-tropical plants, a welcome oasis when the sun is at its summer height and the infinity pool is as inviting at night as it is by day, with the lights of The Old Town twinkling beneath. Interiors are finished to a very high standard; an appealing blend of cool and contemporary with some colourful bohemian touches evoking the spirit of this bewitching east-meets-west destination. Three en-suite bedrooms all lead out onto a magnificent, wrap-around balcony enjoying the same magnificent panorama and on the second floor there's a kitchenette, laundry room and private roof terrace.
Villa Gamze is only a few minutes’ drive or a steep walk downhill to the abundance of dining options that make Kalkan such an enduring favourite and the stylish beach clubs that define this upmarket enclave are equally easy to access for a relaxing day by the sea.
All guests staying in Kalkan are treated to a complimentary Turkish bath (hamam) treatment in the Kalkan Regency hotel's renowned spa and a day trip on the hotel’s traditional gület boat, Poseidon, with lunch and a welcome glass of bubbles included (additional drinks will need to be paid for on board). Tea/coffee and cakes will be served in the afternoon. Please speak to your local representative on arrival to confirm your bookings. Simpson Travel guests also enjoy free entry to Indigo Beach Club and a 5% reduction on any purchase at the Palm Beach Club. View full details on our blog.

We had the most wonderful 2 weeks in Villa Gamze. The views and outdoor area took our breath away, the villa was beautiful and had everything we needed as well as really comfortable beds for a great night’s sleep. We fell in love with beautiful Kalkan, so many delicious meals in the stunning roof terrace restaurants, lazy days at Indigo Beach Club and many adventures exploring the area. The complimentary day boat trip and authentic hamam were such great experiences. Kitty, the resort concierge, was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The fresh bread that Selhattin delivered every morning was a real bonus! Special family memories made again with the outstanding Simpson Travel company - thank you!
Our third visit to Kalkan with Simpson, but our first visit to Villa Gamze and we were not disappointed! Villa has everything you need and although a steep walk into town, it was lovely to be able to do this. Again, we enjoyed the Hammam and the Indigo Beach Club. We visited Saklikent Canyon which was amazing (go early!) and enjoyed meals out. We love it here - it's a special place! Thank you Kitty for always being on hand and helpful and to Sellahatin for keeping our pool clean and the bread delivery.
Our first visit to Kalkan and our first trip through Simpson Travel. We've had a wonderful week, loved the villa and immediately felt at home. We had a good mix of venturing out and relaxing by the pool.
Another wonderful holiday with Simpson Travel. Perfect perfect perfect! We have been to Turkey many times, Kalkan and Islamlar. This is hands down the most wonderful villa we have stayed in. The pool is incredible, and the views - wow! It is wonderfully reassuring that Kitty was around whenever we needed her. I don't think the reps ever get enough credit dor the genuine effort and care they put in making sure your stay is as perfect as it can be! Nothing is too much trouble and the reps always go above and beyond.
Such a fabulous week here at Villa Gamze, and a first class service from Simpson Travel - Kitty was lovely and so helpful, thank you. Our first holiday with our 11 month old daughter and the villa was perfect for her. She adored the pool and space to roam and the beautiful ethnic decorations (assuming from the much travelled owner) gave her such interest and it was right up Mummy's street too! The books here are a brilliant read (loved the crystal healer book). Our second visit to Kalkan did not disappoint - fabulous as ever! We look forward to being back soon!
This was our first trip with Simpsons. The location, villa and service throughout was faultless. We couldn’t have had a more relaxed trip.
Our second visit to Villa Gamze and second time using Simpson Travel because we were so impressed with both the first time round. We rarely visit the same place twice but this property and location are so good that we made an exception! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend both the property and Simpson Travel
Our second visit to this beautiful villa and coming in May has been just as lovely as October. Perfect weather, wonderful views, superb restaurants - Kalkan has it all. We enjoyed the boat trip on Poseidon and the hammam experience. We hope to come back!
Have been so impressed with Kalkan, we are already planning our next visit. Although early in the season, we have been very fortunate with the wonderful weather. Our stay at the Gamze has been all we wished for, very peaceful, beautifully decorated, the most fantastic views. What a wonderful place...We experienced the boat tour and the Hamman all inclusive in our package with Simpson. We were not disappointed. Kitty has been very informative and our whole experience with Simpson has been great, we will definitely use these guys again. What a wonderful time we have had. Many thanks!
This was our second trip to Kalkan with Simpson Travel and once again we were not disappointed. From start to finish the experience has been excellent, easy booking, friendly and knowledgeable staff and a beautiful villa. Faultless. Already thinking about next year. Thanks to everyone involved
Have travelled with Simpson Travel for many years and it’s our fifth time to Kalkan. As always, Simpson is just wonderful and Kalkan is as colourful and vibrant as we remember it to be. Never had a bad meal anywhere – they are all wonderful. Thanks Kitty and all the Simpson team – can’t fault you.
We’d never booked through Simpson Travel before this year - we’d simply booked villa, flights and transfers separately. However having now experienced a Simpson holiday we’ll definitely be using them again. The Simpson team in the UK are knowledgeable and responsive. The service at the airport from meet and greet through to car pick up was quick and seamless, and as for the resort concierge (Kitty), what can I say? She is awesome - nothing too much trouble and heaps of local knowledge. Kitty is a real asset for Simpson. All in all a superb holiday experience!
We had the most wonderful two weeks in Gamze. We all completely fell in love with Kalkan and we will definitely be back. We recommend Saklikent Gorge, Indigo Beach Club, the hammam at the Kalkan Regency, cocktails at Black & Gold. Huge thanks to our brilliant concierge, Kitty.
Our first visit to Kalkan and we absolutely loved it. The villa exceeded all of our expectations, the views are incredible. Kitty was a fantastic help, answering all of our questions and taking care of all of our bookings. It was great to have her at the end of the phone. Simpson Travel were great from start to finish. Thank you for a wonderful week!
Our first time using Simpson Travel who came highly recommended by friends. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend them ourselves. The customer service from start to finish was excellent and couldn't be faulted. We have stayed in many villas and used many different companies but this was the best we have experienced.
Really enjoyed our stay at Villa Gamze & its position well above busy Kalkan & especially its views from the terrace (which Selahattin kept immaculate) of the harbour. Fresh bread delivered every morning by the charming Selahattin & a water cooler with refill delivered to the door were a bonus, given the steep steps up to the villa!
Simpson travel are simply exceptional. We stayed in Villa Gamze in Kalkan Turkey and could not have enjoyed it more. From booking to in resort representatives our experience was 1st class. The villa was beautiful with the most stunning view. We had everything we needed and more. Any questions we had were easily dealt with by the fantastic Kitty in resort. I cannot recommend Simpson Travel and villa Gamze highly enough. We will definitely be booking with them again in future. Thank you for a fabulous week.
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.

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.
