Villa Gunbatimi

A private villa in Turkey with an infinity pool and hotel services – a rare and relaxing combination.

Villa Gunbatimi is one of four elegant, 3-bedroom, all-en-suite, air-conditioned Villas, each with its own private infinity pool and all located on the pine-clad hillside grounds of the prestigious Hotel Villa Mahal. The Villa sits at the top of the Mahal Estate, with floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors giving uninterrupted sunset facing views of the Kalkan Bay – the Hotel was created by designer Ipek Tolbas whose attention to detail is evident everywhere from the elegant sweep of curved white walls through to the elegant modern interiors that enhance the space and compliment the natural light.

Discerningly decorated with understated luxury, this serene retreat reflects the refreshing, tranquil ambience.

Villa guests benefit from all hotel services and facilities (see further details below) – so if you would like to drift off whilst having a massage at the Hotel’s Spa or would just like to relax at the onsite Mahal Beach Club or even have a romantic candlelight waterside dinner, anything is possible without having to leave the grounds.

Should you wish to venture further afield, the complimentary Mahal water taxi will easily take you to the Harbour to experience the delightful Kalkan Town, and a car taxi could easily return you (approx 10 mins) should you wish to stay until the early hours.
