Neo Dalyan villas – Miletus

Close to Dalyan yet comfortably removed from the bustle of town, Villa Miletus is a strikingly contemporary property, and just one of four residences in this beautiful riverside setting. The villa is set amidst lush, sub-tropical gardens and manicured lawns, which extend all the way to the villa's own small river beach and jetty, creating a privileged spot for a quiet drink and a chance to watch the rich birdlife that populates this protected area. You can also immerse yourself further in nature by taking out the villa’s complimentary kayak or stand-up paddleboard and gliding along the tranquil Dalyan river. If you're lucky, you may spot a terrapin, a majestic loggerhead turtle, or even catch sight of a flying fish skimming over the calm water.

While the setting feels timeless, Villa Miletus is a modern sanctuary, superbly equipped with state-of-the-art amenities. Each bedroom is en-suite, offering comfort and privacy, while the spacious living areas and the impressive pool—with a shallow section for younger guests—ensure everyone has room to relax. Outdoor living is the focus here, complete with a fully equipped and air-conditioned alfresco kitchen so meal prep can become part of the holiday fun. The upstairs bedrooms boast balconies with sweeping views of the river and mountains, creating a serene atmosphere far from Dalyan’s livelier pace. Just a ten-minute walk away, Dalyan offers riverside restaurants, local shops, and a bustling weekly market, along with iconic views of the ancient Lycian rock tombs.

If you’re drawn to the sea, Iztuzu beach awaits just a 15-minute drive or 30-minute boat trip away. This pristine stretch of sand is protected to give shelter to the loggerhead turtles that breed there annually, but at almost five kilometres long, there’s more than enough room for humans to share the space too. Beyond the beach, the region is rich in historical sites, relaxing mud baths, and opportunities for cruising around Fethiye Bay. If you prefer to take your days very easy, a range of in-villa services is available, including a private chef, evening meal deliveries and massage and beauty treatments. Whether you're seeking adventure or just quality time with loved ones, Villa Miletus is the perfect base for an effortless and rejuvenating holiday.

We consider these villas to be the best in the area thanks to their unique river beaches and top quality interiors; they also represent remarkable value compared to similar properties in Turkey and elsewhere across our collections.

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.
