Restaurants and Bars

The hotel keeps things intimate with just one restaurant and bar, but they punch well above their weight for flavour and setting.

The One Restaurant
An à la carte spot serving a generous Turkish-style breakfast plus an appealing mix of international and local dishes later in the day. Expect plates inspired by British, Italian, Mexican, Turkish and French cuisine, with plenty of fresh salads, grilled meats and seafood. Meals are typically served on a terrace, so you can linger over views of Kalkan’s hills and bay.

The One Bar
Set up on the roof terrace, this relaxed bar has a laid-back, loungey feel – ideal for sundowners and post-dinner drinks. It also serves light bites, so you don’t have to move far from your favourite sofa spot.

A smart-casual dress code may apply in the evenings. Reservations may be required for some services, and supplements can apply depending on your board basis. Facilities, opening times and menus may change seasonally and are subject to local management.

Pool Areas and Beach

The hotel’s compact outdoor freshwater pool is the social heart of the property. Sunbeds, swing beds and parasols are dotted around the terrace, so you can choose between full sun or a shaded nook with your book. Pool towels are complimentary, keeping packing light.

There’s no beach directly at the hotel, but Kalkan’s small public pebble beach and the town’s well-known beach clubs – complete with wooden bathing platforms, ladders into the sea and waiter service to your lounger – are around 1.2km away. It’s easy to reach them on foot or via local taxis, and boat trips regularly depart the harbour for hidden coves and swimming stops along the bay.

Spa, Sports and Other Facilities

Spa & wellness
The small but thoughtfully designed spa is all about switching off. Facilities typically include:
– Sauna
– Traditional Turkish bath (hammam)
– A menu of massage and body treatments (local charge)

The spa usually opens between 10:00 and 18:00 from 1 May to 31 October, with hours and services adjusted according to occupancy. Minimum age is 13 for spa facilities.

Other facilities
– Reception with concierge-style assistance
– Currency exchange (local charge)
– Luggage storage
– Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel

There is no on-site gym or organised sports/entertainment programme, which keeps the atmosphere calm and boutique; Kalkan’s watersports centres and boat trips take care of more active days out.
