Kuluhana Hotel & Villas Kalkan

Wow , what a stay we had. The owners made us feel welcome and at home the second we arrived. They went above and beyond for us helping us out when we had trouble with getting money out of the bank. AMAZING FOOD. Comfy bed ! and unreal views. Its not in the main town but a taxi only costs 170 lira and is super reliable (24/7) , but is located next to 2 beach clubs , which also offer a boat taxi service into the town as well. If you are looking for a place that can accommodate you and make you feel safe and secure this is definitely the ideal place for you! cannot recommend them enough.

We visited by chance just walking by and glad we did We had the turkish breakfast and wow absolutely lovely The hosts were brilliant and friendly We returned for a bbq and the standard of food was out of this world the hosts again made us feel extra special The hospitality was second to none can't wait to return and see them all again

We visited Turkey from the west coast of America and had a wonderful time in both Kisla/Kalkan and its surrounding area as well as Istanbul. Hotel Kuluhana is located across the bay from the busier British holiday town of Kalkan, but it has access to everything Kalkan offers, yet is calmer and quieter. Easy access to Kalkan either from taxi or the local ferry, great beach area and a couple local hotel run bars and restaurants makes Kisla a great alternative to stay when visiting Kalkan. Kuluhana is perfectly located about a minute or two walk to the beach, it also has its own pool. New owner, Ozlem, is welcoming and very kind (as is her husband!) and makes for a lovely host on your stay. We were in the hotel's Penthouse room, which has an amazing view over the bay, but we found the west facing balcony a bit too hot to fully enjoy during peak sun hours. The morning and evening were definitely more comfortable. Kuluhana also has a restaurant, which offers traditional Turkish breakfast and dinner. Special note to the chef/s...we are vegan, which is more rare in Turkey, however the chef prepared us 4 different vegan meals, which were creative, absolutely delicious and very generous portions. We were very appreciative of this gesture and told them to keep them on their menu as there will no doubt be more vegans who may stay there. As Kuluhana gets through its first holiday season of 2022 we are confident it will become one of, if not THE best place to stay in Kisla. Thank you from all the way over in Portland, Oregon!

We are staying close by in one of the villas, but love this place. Lovely breakfast and good coffee overlooking the sea. No one wants to cook on vacation so this is a regular pattern for us. There's a late night but chilled bar, and really strong WiFi so if you need to get some work done this is a great little find. Also it's less than a minute (no exaggeration) from the sea front. Would recommend. Staff are brilliant too. Super attentive and friendly without being intrusive. From what I can see from the front, the balcony views would be amazing.
