Seafront Villa at Club Patara Resort

About Lena

My name is Lena, I am 31 years old. My husband and I live in Istanbul with our one year old daugther Mavi. I am originally from Germany but after a holiday to Turkey in 2006 I fell in love with the people, the country, the nature, the culture, the food. Since 2010 we are living in Istanbul, my husband owns the Cheers Hostel in Sultanahmet and Taksim.

Lena purchased this villa in 2015

Why Lena chose Kalkan

In 2014 our daughter Mavi was born and the wish of having a place for her to grow up close to the sea and in the nature was getting bigger. We travel a lot in Turkey but just at Club Patara we found all we expect from a holiday. You can enjoy your privacy in the villa, cook dinner with friends or family, have a BBQ at the terrace or just lounge on the sofas or in the garden. After a long day at the sea you can enjoy a drink or snack at the restaurantbar which is next to the pool and just a few stairs away from the villla. The pools overlook the whole bay of Kalkan and the beach platforms which lead to the clear blue sea are build in the mountains.

What makes this villa unique

Club Patara has an award-winning architecture. It is set amongst 60 acres of beautiful landscaped gardens with winding pathways. The natural stones and earthy tones of the resorts architecture fit perfectly in this beautiful landscape. The resort is located at the ancient Bay of Kalkan which is the cleanest, Blue Flag awarded unspoiled bay of Turkey. It has its own private shoreline with secluded beach platforms tucked away in the natural stone leading down to the crystal clear, turquoise bay where the melting snow of the Taurus Mountains meet rich minerals streams. Club Patara houses several quality restaurants which offer a variety of choices from bakeries to world cuisine and snacks. Club Patara offers two outdoor pools at the seaside. There is a 'serious swimmers' pool as well as more of a casual easy swim pool and children pool. As members of the resort, our guests are entitled to 25% discount on the activities and restaurants of Club Patara. A free shuttle bus service is on hand to transport you around the resort. 24 hour gate security with only residents permitted entry is provided. Transfers from and to Dalaman airport (120km away) can be arranged by the owner, as well as car rental. Across the bay lies the popular town of Kalkan, which you can reach in a 10 minute ride with the resorts water taxi. Alternatively, you can drive to Kalkan in 5 minutes. Please note: Owing to the fact that Club Patara is built on a fairly steep hillside, there are lots of steps to negotiate and this property would not suit people with walking difficulty.
