Map & location
Kalkan, Dalaman Area, Turkey
Perched on the hillside above Kalkan, Kalkan Saray Suites pairs sweeping sea views with easy access to this chic little harbour town. Wander just 100m to reach local shops, cafés and bars, or stroll around 10–15 minutes (approx. 750m) down to the resort centre, where whitewashed houses, rooftop restaurants and bougainvillea-draped lanes tumble towards the sea.
Kalkan’s small public pebble beach and bathing platforms are about 1.2km away, with boat trips, watersports and chilled beach clubs all on offer. By car or taxi, you’re well placed for exploring the wider Lycian Coast, from the vast sands of Patara Beach to the ancient ruins of Xanthos and the dramatic Saklikent Gorge.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
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.

Food & drink
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.
