Asfiya Sea View Hotel

Perched above Kalkan’s glittering bay, the Asfiya Sea View Hotel nails the holiday essentials: unbeatable sea views, a short stroll to town, and a beach club spot you’ll want to brag about. It’s a 10-minute wander to both the harbourfront restaurants and the lively Old Town – the perfect base for exploring Turkey’s Turquoise Coast at your own pace.

The star of the show here is the large pool and sun-drenched terrace. Sink into a daybed, order a cocktail from the poolside bar, and let the Mediterranean breeze do its thing. Prefer a salty dip? Guests get free access to Likya Gardens Beach Club, just 10 minutes away, with parasols on rocky platforms and waiter service on tap. Kalkan isn’t your average seaside town. Think cobbled lanes, bougainvillea-clad balconies, and over 100 restaurants packed into a charming harbour village. By day, hit Kaputas beach or hop on a boat trip. By night, grab a rooftop table, order meze and watch the sunset do its thing.
