Turtle Bay villa reviews
We had a fantastic time
We had a fantastic time re-uniting with our family at Dolphin Bay villa. Dom truly went above and beyond to help us get there, kindly arranging transportation for us and giving us lots of hints and tips to get the best out of our time in Kas. Also Omer was super helpful and kind. The villa is super clean with all sorts of facilities you may need. It is even better than what you see in the photos! We were a bit unlucky with the weather in April/May but it was improving towards the end of our days there. I recommend renting a car as there are lots to do around there. Omer helped us do that. Overall, great place, amazing villa and fantastic host.
Date of arrival – 24 April 2023

5/5 Stunning property and beautiful location
We were the first people to stay in this newly built stunning villa. This was our first time in Turkey, so we were unsure of what to expect. The villa has been furnished to a very high specification and is immaculately presented. You won’t appreciate how good this place is just from the photos. It is in the most beautiful location with breathtaking views, especially at sunset. The villa has an extremely efficient and friendly maintenance and management team who are happy to answer any of your questions. The gardens and pool are maintained to a high standard. The owner is extremely helpful and informative about car hire, trips, directions from the airport etc. There are plenty of activities on offer in the local area including boat trips, para gliding, visits to ancient ruins and beaches. We can recommend canoeing and mud bathing near Patara and the boat trip to the sunken city of Kekova. Kas town itself is bustling during the day but really comes alive at night with great shops, bars and restaurants. It has an amazing market on Fridays. We have had an amazing 10 day family holiday and will definitely be coming back. The Ross family (ages 12-52!)
Amazing hidden gem
Outstanding luxury all the way…
5/5 Stunning location, magnificent setting
Turtle Bay villa is on the Peninsula of Kas, it’s a beautiful property with very good finishings in immaculate condition. I stayed here with my family and we had a fabulous holiday. There are three bedrooms upstairs, all have beautiful views and we loved the big balconies to sit out and enjoy the scenery. For breakfast we ate al fresco every morning as there’s a big marble table under a pergola just to the side of the kitchen, it was idyllic. The house has a quality TV with satellite connections so our small toddler was well entertained when needed! I enjoyed cooking in the house and the local farmers markets have lots of local organic produce. You can get to Kas itself by car or the inexpensive ‘dolmus’ (bus) which runs frequently past the property. Overall the stay was just what we needed to recharge our batteries, the house was very comfortable with big comfy sofas and lots of places to rest. There’s nothing nicer than lying out on the sun bed looking at the stunning view or swimming in the infinity pool overlooking the Lighthouse. Yes, I would highly recommend this beautiful villa to anyone wanting some luxurious privacy (as you are not overlooked), in a peaceful setting yet not far from all the activities and nightlife in Kas.
Glad we returned
A little piece of heaven
A little piece of heaven.. We hadn’t visited Turkey before and found it to be a very beautiful and welcoming place. The Kas Peninsula had been recommended by everyone we knew who had been and quite rightly.Turtle Bay Villas position on the Peninsula makes for a stunning and peaceful location. The infinity pool overlooking the sea was incredible and the overall ambience of the Villa is of a top quality and carefully thought out residence. I travelled with my Mother and three teenage children and really appreciated the excellent support given by Tony before we left and whilst we were away. The Villa is looked after on a daily basis by a wonderful Turkish man called Omer who brought us fresh bread every morning and made sure that everything was running perfectly. There is a bus that goes right past the Villa twice an hour into Kas which is a charming and laid back town with a beautiful old Marina, so many restaurants that it was hard to choose and fantastic shops. The market on a Friday is not to be missed. You really don’t need to hire a car. We took a private boat trip round the Islands off Kas on the last day and had the most wonderful lunch cooked for us on the boat. Afterwards we swam with Turtles, it was a day, as was the whole holiday, that we will never forget. Thank you Tony – we will be back.
5 Star Exceptional quality, great location, beauty beyond imagination

Dolphin Bay villa reviews
Fantastic villa, beautiful views, great location, huge outside area.
The meal cooked by Omer’s wife was a delight and was a definitely worth trying, a lovely experience as we asked them to join our group of three couples.
All arrangements professionally handled by the owner Tony.
A special mention must go to Omer, he is great for recommendations (Turkish shave, etc.) and always available at short notice.
Will definitely book again next year for our seventh visit to Kas.

Our Fourth Visit to this amazing Villa
Location is perfect for the most amazing sunsets and ease of the local Dolmus (bus) to get into town
We used the bathing platform on several occasions at the nearby Lighthouse Hotel (walking distance) where amazing lunches are served not forgetting the drinks / cocktails. Or we would catch the bus to the beach on the peninsula. Omer has become a good friend and he is the icing on the cake – he delivers fresh bread every morning, keeps the supply of fresh water and keeps the gardens lovely – this year we had lots of freshly picked pomegranates from the garden – he is so friendly and will help with anything asked. Also great support from the owner – we have already provisionally booked for 2019
Loved Dolphin Bay Villa
The location offers a quiet holiday getaway, but you can walk to the beach in 5 mins and enjoy the crystal clear waters.
The town of Kas is 5 minutes drive (Car hire recommended) and offers an abundance of bars and restaurants. Omer the housekeeper is a personable and very helpfu guy. lThis was my first trip to Dolphin Bay and it won’t be my last.
An overall 5 star experience!!!
Amazing and lovely
Will be back soon
What an amazing villa in beautiful Kas. Omer is wonderful too! Will be backRead more “Will be back soon”
What a great place – the view, the pool!!
Excellent!!
If you go on a boat trip please be aware that you need to provide your passport details. We were not aware of this but luckily I had photos of them on my phone.
Would highly recommend this villa…fantastic holiday!!

Stunning Views
The open living room is huge! And you have everything you need to cook. The bbq was really clean. Be Aware of Moskitos, take repellent along. The street in front of the house is VERY steep and we had a bigger car, not that easy to park. As a welcome we had fruits, coffee, milk, bread, cheese, vegetables…. nice treat.
The beach in Kas can only be entered over ladders and therefore we went to the Hotel Deniz Feneri (short walk) – we had the first night drinks there, we didn’t like them – watery and expensive. That’s why we didn’t go back there. We felt odd to use there infrastructure (which is nice) and not paying anything (one cocktail was 8£). But there are a few beaches, where you can enter to swim in the Ocean. The beaches were to me disappointing as you have only limited access and it is rather crowded.
Omer was reliable to bring the key, we arrived earlier than communicated. A quick call and he was there. We had though not as much contact as other clients described.
Kas is a lovely touristy town with lots of good restaurants. There are not a lot of parking spaces available and we were glad not to be there in high Season. Further out of town, you can park and walk. Vegetarian restaurant is highly recommended.
Perfect villa with unbelievable views!
On arrival we were met by Omer who provided us with the key and showed us around, and how things worked (air con, BBQ, etc). It was reassuring to have this contact on arrival, and Omer came every morning to bring fresh bread which again was a nice touch. There were also some provisions in the fridge on arrival (olives, feta, fruit, milk etc).
The villa was too far away to walk in to Kas but it was very easy to call taxis (cost 25TRY each way – about £7). However, we hadn’t realised that the villa was almost right next door to the Deniz Feneri Lighthouse Hotel, so on several occasions we walked there (about 3-4mins down the hill) for sundowners or to use their beach platform to swim in the sea. This was a great surprise as we had assumed we were further from the water than we were! We also walked to Barbarossa beach club to spend the day by the water and Lukka hotel for late afternoon cocktails – the walk took around 20mins. On one of the days we also hired a private boat from Kas Marina (Tayli I) which was a very special day – hiring the entire boat (which could hold 20ppl) cost only £60 each for 4 of us, which included lunch (will leave separate review for this boat). Perfect day!
All in all, I couldn’t recommend Dolphin Bay enough – the views were some of the best I have seen and the villa was perfect for myself and 3 other girlfriends. Tony provided really useful information in the run up to our stay and provided a detailed guide to the villa and area. He also recommended a taxi transfer company from the airport which was ideal. We are already planning our trip again next year!
1 of the most beautifulist villa’s I’ve ever visited with stunning views

Gorgeous, relaxing, well equipped villa with stunning views
Everything was catered for, from inflatables to a water cooler machine – I wish all villas has this, we didn’t buy one disposable bottle for our whole stay, so did our bit for the planet too. 🙂
My crew were thrilled to have a bedroom and bathroom each, and when we arrived everywhere was super clean and tidy, and I am super fussy!
We didn’t use the kitchen a lot as we like to eat out on holiday but there was everything you needed if you chose too including a good quality (clean!) barbecue.
All I all a great holiday, the pool is gorgeous, and a great vantage point to watch vans and cars struggle up the steep (very steep!) hill, the patio area is huge with plenty of umbrellas if you need some shade. We chose the bedroom that led to the patio and I loved stepping straight out early morning to wander the warming patio looking at the charming views. We definitely went home far more chilled than we arrived!
For a local restaurant we would highly recommend Mavilim Restaurant and Beach Hotel, just down the road, the food was amazing.

Archeological sites
An excellent base for exploring the ancient Lycian cities
Ruins of the ancient town of Antiphellos can be found around the town, an excellent base for exploring the ancient Lycian cities and archeological sites.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday and enjoy the villa and Kas.
