Villa Su | Luxury Villas in Kas Turkey

Drift to infinity

Villas on the Kas peninsula always enjoy great views, but Villa Su is outstanding even in this fabulous location. Its private setting is peaceful and secluded, yet it commands stunning views of Meis and 15 other Greek and Turkish islands. Better still, its large infinity pool (15 meters x 3 metres) allows you to drift towards the shimmering Mediterranean and feel as though you really could float on forever. Inside, this luxury villa for up to seven people makes full use of its vast spaciousness (300 square metres). Everywhere, the minimalist approach makes for cool, uncluttered holiday living. There is air-conditioning throughout and the villa has three bedrooms, with an optional fourth guest room or study. The terraces surrounding the villa and the pool all have those wonderful views, and there are paths down through the olive groves to a private, stone-built bathing platform at the seashore.

I feel like I’m on the set of a Sting music video. Draped over the edge of Villa Su’s 20-metre-long infinity-edged pool, I’m enthralled by the constantly changing colours of the Mediterranean. Below me, a steep stone staircase leads to a secluded deck with our own private patch of sea, where the water is a kind of translucent aquamarine. In the distance, where the Greek Island of Meis and several smaller Turkish isles complete the skyline, the sea is a deep sapphire-blue.

We arrive at Villa Su after an incredibly beautiful two-hour drive (which is uncannily reminiscent of the Southern Cape’s famed Garden Route) from Dalaman Airport to Kas. Perched on a steep hillside, our home-away-from-home is the ultimate in minimalist chic. A giant front door, flanked by bougainvillea, opens onto a cool, white-marble-floored landing where the South African owner’s contemporary artworks adorn the walls.

The all-white palette extends to the three en-suite double bedrooms and is broken occasionally by the earthy tones of the odd African artefact: a carved wooden stool here, a Masai-fabric wall hanging there. Floor-to-ceiling lilac mosaic tiles in the shower add interest to the modern, all-white bathrooms. Though there’s air-conditioning in every room, the white marble throughout helps to keep the house cool – temperatures in Kas get up to 40C during July and August.

A spiral, metal staircase leads to the lower-ground floor – the spacious and airy open-plan living-dining-and-kitchen area, where two oversized sofas have pride of place in a sun-drenched, sea-facing nook. Behind it, a double-sided hanging fireplace acts as an informal room divider. In the other sea-facing corner, an eight-seater dining table leads through floor-to-ceiling French doors onto the pool deck; the granite-and-stainless-steel kitchen complete with all the mod cons (including an espresso machine!), adjoins the dining area on the other side.

And then there’s the pool terrace… with its infinity-edged pool that seems to flow straight into the sea, an ocean-facing entertainment area (perfect for long lunches and late-night parties) and a bougainvillea-covered outdoor shower with breath-taking views of the mountain and sea. The overriding sense of seclusion and space is soporific, I’m loathe to sink into a chaise-longue for fear that I’ll never get up again!
