The white and beige stone facades of the buildings are off-set by the strong fuschia colours of Kalkan's signature bougainvillea plants, the Jacuzzi gurgles away contentedly and the poolside bar provides an unofficial library service with its collection of novels on offer along with the drinks. Breakfast can be taken in the shaded seating area, at tables by the pool or in any of the small eating areas hidden in quiet corners of the garden.
The standard rooms are spacious and are decorated in a simple Mediterranean style with tiled floors and an uncluttered sense of space. Most have now been converted into suites with a small lounge area, a private balcony or terrace and the very useful addition of a mini bar and tea and coffee making facilities.
The deluxe suites are some of the most sought after as most have their own private indoor Jacuzzis and views directly over the central courtyard pool and this year Aslan has made the balconies slightly larger. Newly built in 2008 were three incredible master deluxe suites that overlook the main swimming pool, with their own Jacuzzis in their room and share their own separate pool. Also new was the 'Owners Suite', a huge suite on the top floor of the main hotel with fantastic private terraces and lovely sea views.
For 2009, the rooftop swimming pool was replaced with two lovely, large penthouse suites. The interiors are furnished to a very high standard with queen size double beds, double wardrobes, plasma TV and table and chairs. There is also a mini-bar and tea and coffee making facilities. With floor to ceiling patio doors and large windows, this effect is to create two delightful, light, airy and incredible spacious penthouses.
Outside your suite is your own private pool with large private terrace with your own sunbeds and table and chairs. All this space combined with the magnificent view of the Kalkan and the sea has surely put these suites in the highest category of accommodation that we currently offer.
Owner Aslan takes special pride in the Asfiya as the original jewel in the crown of his local properties, which include the Yali Beach Club, and The Likya Residence and Spa.
Guests can take advantage of complimentary transfers to the Yali Beach Club, just paying for the use of the sun-loungers and umbrellas. Carved into a rocky outcrop, the beach club platform has an all-day restaurant, sun-loungers and umbrellas, as well as Turkish day-beds for nestling in a little shade when the sun is at full strength.
The staff at the Asfiya are very welcoming and always helpful, so whatever your request they will do their utmost to take care of it. You will find a high quality of service here and nothing is too much trouble. (In fact due to feedback from our previous guests last year, Aslan has changed all the windows on the rooms and suites facing the road and installed double glazing to ensure that virtually no outside noise can now be heard.)
As a base for exploring Kalkan and the local area, the Asfiya is a prime location, but then again you could always just spend some lazy days lounging by the pool or the beach club & the choice is yours.
