Kalkan beach clubs
Kalkan has one stony main beach near the harbour and old town and then many "beach clubs". Technically they are not beaches. but clubs set into the bottom of the mountain side, complete with paved platform terraces and gardens, and they offer everything from swimming and sunbathing, to water sports and restaurant facilities. You can spend a whole day at a beach club entertaining the family and it is the perfect place to experience the Mediterranean, whether you're swimming, snorkelling or just watching the world go by from the terrace. Sunbathe, swim, or just have fun; there is plenty for all to enjoy. Each club has its own entrance fee/ terms and conditions so please check.
Mahal Beach Club - closest to the villa and our favourite! Barefoot luxury and just WOW. Built on the site of Kalkan’s first and oldest beach club, Likya Beach – it consists of platforms built into the hillside under the shade of olive trees. There are ladders and platforms which take you down into the deep water. Sun beds and parasols are dotted around on stone platforms connected by stone steps. Mahal is not recommended for families with small children. To the left of Kalkan bay, further up the coast, Villa Mahal Beach Club offers a waterside restaurant and water sports. Sunbathing platforms lined with olive trees offer space to relax and soak up the sun, and ladders from the terraces go straight into the sea.
