Hotel with a heated pool in Kalkan

A large outdoor pool, a covered pool in the spa, or both: hotels are often the best equipped for a warm swim. In Kalkan, a heated pool is part of what many villas offer, often as a paid extra. For now, only one place of this type meets my criteria in Kalkan: Payava Boutique Hotel.

Expedia gives it 9.6/10 from 168 reviews; I haven't read any reviews about the water temperature.

Guide's tip. Ask what temperature the water is kept at in spring and autumn.
