What to do and see in Kalkan, Turkish Mediterranean Coast: The Best Beach & Pool Clubs
Kalkan, like its neighbor Kas, is a lovely Turkish beach town. While most travelers spend their time enjoying the sun and sea, history buffs will appreciate Kalkan’s proximity to several ancient Lycian cities. If you’ll be in town for more than a day, consider renting a villa—you’ll love the chance to live like a local in such a beautiful spot.

We went to zest twice in the week we stayed as enjoyed it so much (we planned to try a different beach club but others didn’t live up to the facilities at zest). The finishing and furious hinges and vibe of zest was just great. There is a beautiful salt water pool with lots sunbeds arounds and then various levels down the hill with sunbeds and easy access to the sea. The sunbeds all have toweled. Cushions and are very comfy, there’s plenty of sun shades around if required. We booked for our first visit via email and we were able to chose where we sat - we picked a spot on a balcony over the sea. Which had great views but was a busier area as a group with a baby moved behind us so a little disturbing but can’t be helped. The second time we had a more secluded group of beds on a ledge down from a pool which was perfect for us a group of 5 as there was no one else near by. The drinks are great - strong pina coladas! The food was all delicious and great portions - I highly recommend the pasta, but we had breakfast, salads, burgers, fish and sandwiches during our time and no fault with any of it. We also booked seapro Watersports while at the club - the sofa is great fun and I enjoyed the matrix but it can be hard to stay on!

Great place. You pay 25TL (£3.50) each and that gets you a taxi ride to and throw from kalkan, a comfy spot with loungers and umbrella if you need shade, full use of all the equipment, kayak, pedalo, swim ocean, water trampoline. Food and drinks are extra, but very well priced. Great place for one or more visits.

We stayed in Kisla for the last two weeks of August and used the Kalkan Beach Park nearly every day. It was a perfect base for our party of six which included 4 teenagers and they found us our preferred spot every single day no trouble. Just superb - friendly and helpful staff and brilliant food and drinks. The combination of the beach and the diving platform makes this perfect, plus there is a water taxi which will whisk you into town if you fancy it. See you next year!!

Yali Beach Club Escape, relax and rejuvenate next to aqua-marine seas, under sunny skies We are pleased to extend our welcome to non-residents who wish to come and soak up our beach vibes. Platforms are built into the rockface and extend along the shoreline, providing plenty of space to be at ease. The waterfront atmosphere is purposefully low-key and a waiter service is available so you can chill and enjoy a cooling cocktail or two. The restaurant is open throughout the day serving small plates, mezze sharing platters and main events. Enjoy signature cocktails and freshly squeezed juices while enjoying the warm breeze and infinite blue vistas. Since our restaurant has one of the best waterside locations in town, we are pleased to open our kitchen in the evenings on a request basis. For those seeking a romantic private dining experience, we suggest you dine by the sea under a canopy of stars, the menu is small and special a choice of the ‘catch of the day’ or the ‘daily special’.

5. Mahal Beach Club
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 40 reviews
Mahal Beach Club consisting of platforms built into the hillside, hidden under the welcoming shade of the olive trees. It overlooks the sea, which is freshened by underground springs to leave the water superbly clear with very little salt. Sun beds are spaciously dotted around, ensuring that visitors will always find their own private spot from which to enjoy the sound of the waves.

We really enjoyed our day spent at Mahal. We took the speedboat from the main marina at Kalkan and spent the day on the sun loungers at the front. Our hotel is in the hills so it was great to be able to come here for the day and relax by the sea. The food was delicious and the Chef so lovely. We stayed to watch the sunset.
