Estate Overview

As well as renting one of the three amazing houses of Gökçe Gemile individually, it is also possible for guests to rent all of them at the same time. By doing this, large families and groups can have a unique villa holiday experience in this fabulous natural retreat, because they get to have the wonderful seclusion and privacy Gökçe Gemile offers, all to themselves.

By renting the three houses together, surrounded by their own secluded gardens and with their own private pools, a maximum of 22 guests will not only have the exclusive use of the coves and beaches in Gökçe Gemile Bay but also all the wonderful facilities and services Gökçe Gemile offers.

Although this small piece of heaven certainly has all the luxury of an exclusive hotel, we prefer to think of Gökçe Gemile as your home-from-home. But when you and your friends and family have the whole  of Gökçe Gemile to yourself, this takes the concept of luxury and exclusivity to another level entirely.

There is a 5% discount for groups and families wanting to book their holidays in all three Gökçe Gemile houses at the same time.

We particularly recommend this option for families and groups seeking a halal friendly holiday.

Renting Gökçe Gemile in its entirety offers guests several choices when it comes to cooking and dining:

  • Self-catering: Guests who enjoy cooking say that rustling up a meal in the beautiful and excellently equipped kitchens of Gökçe, Elmalı and Gemile is a pleasure not to be missed
  • Combining self-catering with delicious breakfast, meals, snacks and dining: all provided at the Gökçe Gemile Clubhouse by the Gökçe Gemile team, or on request the top seafood chef in the area
  • The complete relaxation of Gökçe Gemile’s Full Board & Drinks option: all meals and soft drinks are provided throughout your stay.
  • Eating out: there is a wide range of dining possibilities at the many excellent local restaurants and the Gökçe Gemile Concierge Service organises a chauffeur to take you and bring you back.

The Gökçe Gemile Concierge Service will provide you will all the information you need to decide which option best suits your requirements.

For more information please visit our Dining page.

Gökçe Gemile also offers a unique Home Helper service:

  • With a Home Helper on a weekly basis you will have the opportunity to relax while your Home Helper tidies, cooks, washes and cleans, so you don’t have to. These wonderful ladies will even do the food shopping!
  • This is an ideal option for families and groups with children, who want to be able to spend their precious holiday time relaxing and enjoying those essential elements of any holiday, “putting your feet up” and enjoying “quality time.”

Guests staying at Gökçe Gemile have the choice to be as active or as laid-back as they like:

  • Relax by your own private pool, take it easy on the main beach, or unwind in one of the several secluded coves.
  • Enjoy some of the many activities and tour options available. Sea kayaking, stand up padding boarding and snorkelling are included. Others, such as scuba diving, guided trekking and visits to historic and archaeological sites, which are purchased separately, can be arranged on your behalf by the Gökçe Gemile Concierge Service.

Gökçe Gemile is the perfect retreat for families and groups who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, to be surrounded by unspoiled nature and phenomenal views.

Indoors

Indoors

  • Living/dining area:

Gökçe: Dynamic architectural design and bold contemporary style with many beautiful natural features, including a living carob tree! Double height dining area and extensive views over the gardens, pool, forests and bays.
Elmalı: Anatolian architectural design with rustic cottage-chic and contemporary touches and many unique natural features. A delightful spacious are for relaxing and dining. Wide-ranging views of the gardens, pool, forests and bays.
Gemile: A grand architectural statement in terms of scale and style, echoing the area’s Turkish-Greek heritage. The many natural features reflect the talents of the carpenters, stonemasons and blacksmiths who took part. Expansive views over the gardens, forests, coastline and mountains.

  • Kitchen:

All the kitchens at Gökçe Gemile are superbly equipped with all the necessary appliances.

Gökçe: An uber-stylish, contemporary, fitted kitchen. The sleek, hi-tech bespoke design provides a dramatic contrast to the organic ambience and natural textures of the dining and living area.
Elmalı: With sliding doors onto the garden, this is an airy, single-sided galley style kitchen. Features bespoke oak cabinets, complemented by absolute black basalt work surfaces.
Gemile: The views from this kitchen would make doing the washing up a pleasure, if there wasn’t a dishwasher! Reflecting the Turkish-Greek heritage of the region, the bespoke oak cupboards have hand-crafted wrought iron features, as does the impressive cooker hood, complementing the black basalt work surfaces.

  • Master suites

Gökçe: Spacious, airy and with dreamy views of Gökçe Gemile bay, these masterpieces of creative design have numerous unique features, from handcrafted wooden walls to super king-size marble beds that appear to be floating in the air.
Elmalı: With their Anatolian theme and subtle Ottoman touches, these rooms and the furniture showcase the matchless craftsmanship of the carpenters and stonemasons who worked on them and the distinctive interior design skills of their creator.
Gemile: Arguably the most quirky but nonetheless beautifully designed rooms which features that echo the Turkish-Greek heritage of the area and views of the forests and mountains that go on forever.

  • Twin bedded rooms:

All these rooms are on the ground floor

Gökçe: Neutral tones with crisp, clean lines and natural touches, create a serene ambience, further enhanced by the elegant triptych of narrow rectangular windows that overlook the wooded hillside to the north.
Elmalı: Light and airy with colourful Ottoman touches, the side window looks out onto the wooded hillside, while the sliding doors open directly onto the shaded portico and gardens.
Gemile: Well proportioned, airy and full of character, due to two outstanding and rather unusual features: the honey-coloured bedrock that emerges from the house’s foundations is imbedded in one of the walls, above which is a quirky diagonal line of timbers – the extremities of the floating wooden staircase built on the other side.

  • Shower room and guest cloakroom:

Gökçe: Huge slabs of marble have been used to line the shower room walls. This only outshone by the column of prismatic basalt that has been carved into a basin.
Elmalı: A masterpiece of original design, as well as a monsoon shower, it features an extraordinary, basin carved from a piece of igneous rock.
Gemile: Apart from the monsoon shower, perhaps most impressive feature is the basin carved from a single piece of Bergama granite.

  • Pool houses:

Gökçe: With a double bedroom, shower room/wc and open plan living area, incorporating a kitchen, this compact eco-designed “pod” has been built in the garden to provide comfortable and self-contained accommodation for teenagers, friends or nannies. Its most remarkable feature is the “buried” thermal wall, which not only helps to regulate the inside temperature, it also provides access to the roof, where there is a pergola from which there are breath-taking views of the bay, coastline and forests.
Gemile: Tucked away in a corner of the garden, this eco-cabin has a double bedroom, shower room/wc and open plan living area, incorporating a kitchen that can be used to provide comfortable accommodation for teenagers, friends or nannies. Hidden under a turf roof and clad with chestnut timbers, which helps with insulation, it is surprisingly well camouflaged.

Outdoors

Outdoors

Gökçe: Gökçe is surrounded by private landscaped gardens that look out over some of the most spectacular and romantic panoramas in Turkey, if not the entire Mediterranean. There are several shady seating areas from which to look at the breath-taking views of the bay, the forest and coastline . There is also huge boulder that has been sliced in half to make a table for alfresco dining. Undoubtedly, the main features are the huge lake-style infinity swimming pool with a sloping “beach” entrance, the spacious spa pool and most unusually the jet-tub carved from a huge egg-shaped boulder, all over which look out across the blue waters of the bay.
Elmalı: As well as the wonderful views of the turquoise bay, the pine forests and natural woodland, the main feature of the private landscaped gardens is the impressive swimming pool and water features, all of which have been ingeniously constructed to great effect, using natural stone and rocks. There are also several comfortable seating areas, including a pergola, where you can relax at any time of day or night, listening to the calming sound of the waterfalls and the sounds of nature.
Gemile: A totally private, terraced haven, in which mosaic-decorated paths meander among shady trees and flower beds bursting with local plants, this is the most secluded and natural garden. The main features include an alfresco dining area, a shady pergola with comfortable seating and a jacuzzi carved from a single ovoid boulder, from which the water cascades into a small grotto-like pool below. If this isn’t enough, there is also the huge infinity pool with water features and of course, framed by forests and the dramatic coastline, there is the magical vistas of Babadağ and Karatepe mountains, to complete the picture.

Smoking policy

As in the rest of the Mediterranean, fire is an ever present risk, especially during the tinder-dry summer months. For this reason we need to have a very strict smoking policy. As with all rental properties, there is a no smoking policy inside the houses. Guests may smoke in the gardens, but we respectfully request that they always use an ashtray and dispose of their cigarette butts responsibly. Guests may also smoke on the beach and in the private coves, always taking other guests, who may not smoke, into consideration. However, there is a very strict no smoking policy on the inclined lift and the surrounding area, leading to the beach. Here, we must insist that there is no smoking whatsoever due to the risk of fire and the fact that it is highly illegal!
