A hidden retreat with sweeping views of sea and sky—where handcrafted interiors and tranquil nature exist in perfect harmony.
Gemile Villa takes its name from the breathtaking panoramas it commands—sweeping views of Gemile Beach, St. Nicholas Island, and the majestic peaks of Babadağ and Karatepe beyond. Nestled in the most secluded position among the three houses at Gökçe Gemile, and bordered by forests and maquis-covered hills, Gemile is a sanctuary of privacy and beauty.
Its gardens are imaginatively landscaped, featuring curved mosaic paths inspired by the area’s Turkish-Greek heritage—each stone laid by hand over many months. At the heart of this tranquil setting lies a lake-style swimming pool, a sculptural hot tub carved from a single giant boulder, and a striking stone pergola perched at the garden’s highest point—perfect for watching the sun rise or set.
Tucked into the slope beside the pool is a beautifully crafted stone guest house. Built in harmony with the villa’s architectural spirit, it features a bedroom, living space with a pull-out sofa, kitchen, spacious bathroom, and a private barbecue corner. It’s ideal for hosting guests, teenagers, or staff.
Adding a touch of playful elegance, a waterslide has been artfully hidden between the natural rock formations near the pool, offering children and adults alike a joyful and unexpected delight.
Inside the main house, the charm continues: a floating staircase leads to two characterful master suites, each with its own distinct atmosphere and private views of the forest, coast, and mountains. The western suite draws inspiration from the old Levissi houses in Kayaköy, while the eastern suite boasts a dramatic vaulted ceiling. All bathrooms feature the signature basins and mosaics that distinguish Gökçe Gemile’s craftsmanship.
Built with river-washed stones sourced from the Eşen district of Fethiye—stones that once marked ancient property lines and now hold new purpose—Gemile Villa is where nature, architecture, and memory converge in perfect harmony.
Living & Dining Area
To the left of the front door, three shallow steps lead down into a light-filled dining and living area with a high ceiling. A pebble mosaic “carpet,” reminiscent of the houses of Levissi (Kayaköy),is set into the floor, while the rest is paved with large slabs of creamy Elmalı stone. The imposing oak dining table is a handcrafted work of art, and the living area features a beautifully designed fireplace made of Dalaman river stone—complemented by underfloor heating. Carefully chosen natural fabrics and textiles give the space a sense of authenticity. In the evening, torch-style wrought iron wall lights create a warm, traditional ambiance. The striking cantilevered floating staircase—made from solid oak and embedded in stone—is both a sculptural centerpiece and a link to the upper floor.
Kitchen
Custom oak cabinets with hand-forged ironwork echo the heritage of Levissi. These rustic elements pair beautifully with sleek granite countertops, a marble sink from Afyonkarahisar, and a thoroughly modern appliance set including an induction hob, fan oven, American-style fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. A wide window above the sink looks out over the garden and forest.
Master Suite (East)
The vaulted ceiling in this suite, made of reclaimed oak and chestnut beams, creates an airy and serene atmosphere. The super king-size bed, built from aged oak, appears to float above the wooden floors. Large windows frame breathtaking views of both the forest and coastline, and a door leads out to the private roof terrace. The ensuite bathroom is equally stunning, featuring a sculpted washbasin made from an egg-shaped boulder of grey Bergama granite, complete with niches carved for toiletries. Slabs of dolomite and gneiss complete the elegant shower space.
Master Suite (West)
This suite draws inspiration from Levissi’s timeless style, with a chestnut-beamed flat ceiling and matching furniture. The handcrafted super king-size oak bed is paired with a dramatic oak wall piece behind the headboard. The ensuite dressing and shower room features bespoke wardrobes and a washbasin carved from a single block of Aliağa basalt stone, resting on a chestnut base. Pebbled flooring and dolomite wall panels continue the natural elegance.
Twin-Bedded Room
Located on the ground floor, this bedroom features twin oak beds, Levissi-style iron sconces, and a unique architectural detail: the floating oak staircase emerges from the wall just beside the bed. The room opens directly into the garden and offers tranquil forest views.
Shower Room & Guest Cloakroom
This compact yet beautifully detailed space includes a washbasin carved from Bergama granite atop a chestnut wood base, with dolomite slab walls and floors inlaid with river pebbles. A separate WC and rain shower ensure functionality with flair.
Pool House
Discreetly nestled beside the pool, the stone-built pool house reflects the same architectural language as the main villa. With a double bedroom, living space, kitchen, and a private bathroom, it offers both privacy and comfort. A pergola-topped roof terrace with Ottoman seating and a solid oak table carved from a single trunk offers stunning views and sunset serenity.

Gemile’de dış mekân, yalnızca bir manzara değil; doğayla bütünleşen, zarafetle işlenmiş bir yaşam alanıdır. Teraslı bahçelerdeki her patika ve köşe, sizi doğanın ritmine davet eder.
Gemile Plajı’nın turkuaz sularına, St. Nicholas Adası’na ve Babadağ ile Karatepe’nin heybetli zirvelerine bakan bu villa, Gökçe Gemile’deki üç evin en tenha ve özel konumuna sahiptir. Çevresi ağaçlarla çevrili, yöreye özgü bitkilerle bezenmiş bu yaratıcı bahçe düzenlemesi, villanın mahremiyetini kusursuzca tamamlar.
Teraslı bahçenin içinden kıvrılarak geçen yollar, bölgenin Türk-Rum mirasını yansıtan mozaik taşlarla döşenmiştir. Bu taşlar Gökçe Gemile sahilinden toplanan siyah, beyaz ve gri çakıllarla bezeli olup, aylar süren titiz bir el işçiliğiyle şekillenmiştir.
Bahçenin en çarpıcı üç unsuru ise:
Dalaman Nehri taşlarıyla kaplı 140 m²’lik tuzlu suyla dolu infinity yüzme havuzu (ısıtmasız),
Devasa bir kayanın içi oyularak oluşturulmuş jakuzili havuz,
Ve Esen taşı sütunları ve kestane ağacı kirişleriyle inşa edilmiş görkemli pergoladır.
Bahçenin en yüksek noktasında yer alan bu pergolanın altında, günün her saati doğayı dinleyerek vakit geçirebileceğiniz rahat bir oturma alanı sizi bekler.
Kayalıkların arasına gizlenmiş özel bir su kaydırağı da çocuklara eğlenceli anlar sunar. Doğal taşlar arasında uzanan bu tasarım sayesinde, sanki küçük bir dağ deresinden kayarak havuza ulaşılıyormuş hissi verir.
Bahçeyi çevreleyen çam ormanı, kuş sesleriyle ve yaprakların hışırtısıyla iç huzur sunar. Gölgelik alanlar, hamak, taşlardan oyulmuş yemek masası ve güneşle yıkanan çim alanlar sayesinde burası doğayla iç içe, sakin bir yaşamın adresidir.
