For a relaxing, luxury retreat, head to five-bedroomed Villa Baris on Turkey’s stunning Turquoise Coast: a cosmopolitan, vibrant resort perfect for exploring the timeless beauty of ancient Lycia's pine-clad shores. The villa is in a peaceful spot, set against a breath-taking mountain backdrop, and boasts panoramic views of the sea from your private pool and beautiful outdoor sun terrace.

From the understated sophistication of the interiors to the well-equipped kitchen, the attention to detail is impressive at Villa Baris – and the views even more so, shown off to their best advantage by floor-to-ceiling windows in the living areas and natural-coloured furnishings which create an extra feeling of light and space. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen area boasts cushioned sofas and a plasma TV for sinking into after a day of exploring, and leads straight outside onto the terrace.

Outside, there’s an elegant infinity pool with a cooling Jacuzzi corner – perfect for enjoying the balmy days and evenings. You can while away the afternoon one of the comfortable sun loungers or choose a shady spot to curl up with a good book while enjoying the serene vistas. With an alfresco dining table, and a meze and baklava delivery service too, you’ll be forgiven for never wanting to leave.

The bedrooms are set over three floors and are all equally seductive, stylish and serene. There’s a double bedroom with an en-suite and private balcony, a double bedroom with an en-suite and Jacuzzi bath and a twin bedroom with an en-suite that share a sea-facing balcony. On the second floor, you can choose from the double and twin rooms both with an en-suite and large balcony.

Vibrant Kalkan town is within walking distance of the villa, the starting point for boat trips and excursions, and it also offers an eclectic choice of boutiques and a popular weekly market. The cosmopolitan town lays on a selection of tempting dining options too, including the popular rooftop restaurants and waterfront eateries along a promenade of laid-back cocktail lounges.

Villa Baris is having a small refurbishment during the winter 23/24 and will have an extra bedroom and bathroom added
