Overview

 
Just a short coastal stroll from Kalkan’s pretty marina, Likya Residence Hotel & Spa blends traditional Turkish touches with grown-up boutique style. Think whitewashed stone, terracotta, hand-crafted details and a shimmering pool terrace that frames wide-open views over Kalkan Bay. With an excellent restaurant, a tranquil spa and a calm, unhurried atmosphere away from the bustle of the harbour, it’s a favourite hideaway for couples and repeat guests looking for a sophisticated, low-key escape on the Turquoise Coast.

From its elevated perch above Kalkan, Likya Residence Hotel & Spa serves up cinematic bay views, chic interiors and an irresistibly quiet pool terrace. Days drift between sun-loungers, spa treatments and long, leisurely breakfasts on the restaurant’s wide terrace; in the evenings, stroll down to the marina or linger over dinner as the lights of Kalkan twinkle across the water. For couples seeking Turkey’s Turquoise Coast charm without the crowds, Likya Residence Hotel & Spa delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 3 hours by road from Dalaman (DLM), set above Kalkan’s harbour yet within easy reach of waterside bars and bathing platforms. See more Turkey holidays.

Map & location


Kalkan, Dalaman Area, Turkey

Kalkan is one of the Turquoise Coast’s most charming little towns – all bougainvillea-draped lanes, whitewashed houses and a yacht-filled harbour. Likya Residence Hotel & Spa sits on the hillside above the bay, away from the resort buzz yet close enough for leisurely evening wanders down to the waterfront.

From here, you can hop on a traditional gulet boat to discover hidden coves, swim from wooden bathing platforms, or potter the cobbled streets lined with boutiques and rooftop restaurants. History fans are well-placed for day trips to ancient Lycian sites like Xanthos, while beach-lovers can head to Kaputaş and Patara for big, golden-sand horizons.

  • • Dalaman Airport (DLM) 3 hours’ transfer by road
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 3 Hours

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The hotel’s outdoor freshwater pool is the social heart of the property, reserved for adults and surrounded by cushioned sunbeds, parasols and those big-sky views Kalkan is famous for. Towels are complimentary, and the atmosphere is resolutely calm – more book-in-hand than boisterous pool games.

Down the hill you’ll find Kalkan’s pebbly town beach and a string of stylish beach clubs built on wooden platforms over the water. Many offer ladders straight into the sea, waiter service and chilled music – ideal for lazy days punctuated by swims and a long lunch.

Spa, sports & wellness


Wellness is a highlight at Likya Residence Hotel & Spa. The spa combines Turkish traditions with modern pampering: relax in the steam room or sauna, book a classic hammam ritual in the Turkish bath, or opt for a whirlpool soak followed by a massage. Treatments are typically for guests aged 16+ and carry an extra charge.

An air-conditioned gym keeps active travellers happy, with cardio machines, free weights, a stretching zone and an aerobics studio. After workouts or sightseeing, the tranquil lobby and terrace areas are perfect for catching up over a drink.
