A Rare Elephant

Kayaköy is where southern Turkey’s wild nature meets its ancient history, and this plush villa puts you right in the middle of it. Perhaps join the ancient hiking trail, The Lycian Way, just five minutes away on foot, or explore the abandoned village of Kayaköy. Should you tire of being blissfully ensconced in nature, the beautiful resort village of Oludeniz is just a ten-minute drive, with a further five minutes taking you to the pristine beach below.

Or, you could spend all your sunny days just chilling out at this villa. There’s a huge swimming pool terrace with loungers aplenty for drying off in the sun. Kids will love the orange elephant slide into the pool, and grown-ups can keep watch from the shaded outdoor lounge beneath the balcony or the frond-fringed cabana. That’s not to mention the circular hot tub crowning the pool. Alfresco feasts can be cooked in the ground-floor stone oven, or in the second stone oven up on the first-floor balcony. There’s dining for the whole group up here too.

Set across two separate apartments, you’ve got two fully equipped kitchens inside. A choice of two lounges allows the group to spread out with fireplaces, exposed stone walls and wooden ceilings like the Turkish homes of old. The real bonus here is the indoor spa area, with its own sauna and Jacuzzi tub for a blissful day of sheer relaxation.
