Hotel Villa Mahal

Unfortunately I had a fall while at the hotel . The safe and owner were so helpful and kin.thank you

This spot is magnificent and perched above a beautiful bay in Kalyan . Rooms are a good size and all come with a balcony and a view . Food is delicious and service is good . There is also a free Mahal ferry to take you to and from the port . Yes there are 181 steps but you can call their golf cart for lifts if you are too tired . There is no beach but loungers on the cliff side hovering over the sea . You also experience a quiet nights rest as you are not in town. Delicious lunches and homemade lemonade .

I still prefer their original breakfast which was buffet style at the top of the resort but having said that their breakfast was good . Our room smelt damp but think it might have been closed up for a while .

The hotel is built amongst old olive groves on steep slopes down to the sea. There are stunning views across the bay of Kalkan, looking west - which means beautiful sunsets in the evening. The small number of rooms are dotted around the peaceful grounds, creating a sense of space and tranquility. The infinity pool is extremely attractive and was never crowded and there are many places around the grounds just to sit and read or enjoy the views in peaceful surroundings. The bar / restaurant area again faces west and it is possible to eat the evening meal down at sea level, as the sun goes down. The food is excellent and the staff very friendly, professional and attentive. The steepness of the slopes does mean that there are many steps to negotiate, although that was not a problem for us, and the hotel has a buggy that can drive guests up and down the steepest section.

Fantastic breakfast Superb location Amazing staff Extremely clean

Bed not particularly comfortable

Lovely boutique hotel. Set in the hillside with rooms that felt secluded. Staff were very attentive, especially Carlos in the restaurant where the food was of a very high standard, and great cocktails Having its own beach club is a great bonus

Only the steps but that’s also part of the charm

This is a charming hotel that is nestled on the hillside a little outside of Kalkan. The rooms have spectacular views over the bay and the little beach club gives easy access to the beautifully clear, turquoise sea. There is a good restaurant at the hotel for drinks and light meals during the day and which sets up tables at the water's edge in the evenings for sunset suppers. For those wanting to eat in or visit Kalkan there is a little boat to shuttle you back and forth during the day and it is a five minute taxi back at night. Kalkan is a friendly place with lots of roof top restaurants and bars, boat trips and opportunities for excursions. A lovely holiday.

the location was beautiful
