Rising majestically from the landscape like the prow of a magnificent ship, Gökçe is undoubtedly one of the most imaginatively designed and stylish residences in this part of the Mediterranean.
Rising from the hillside like the prow of a ship, Gökçe Villa stands as a bold architectural gesture — sculpted from reclaimed stone, hand-forged iron, timber and glass. It is the most contemporary of the three houses at Gökçe Gemile, and perhaps the most daring in spirit.
Designed to blend with the contours of the land, Gökçe offers a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. At the heart of its garden lies a spectacular lake-style pool, with a gently shelving mosaic beach, a hand-carved granite jacuzzi, and a spa pool lined with pebbles gathered from the surrounding coves. Tucked discreetly nearby is a hidden guest house — a private retreat ideal for teenagers, friends or staff — topped with a pergola lounge where one can gaze across the treetops toward the glittering bay below.
The villa’s interior is generous and refined. A sweeping open-plan living and dining space, framed by vast windows, brings in light, sea and sky. A bespoke kitchen invites family meals and slow mornings. Upstairs, two master suites with French balconies offer serene views of the forest and sea. Downstairs, a twin bedroom with adjoining bathroom also serves as a guest cloakroom.
Every detail speaks of craftsmanship. The floors are of aged timber. The ironwork is hand-hammered. A centuries-old carob tree rises through the main living room, not as a design feature but as a quiet symbol of the land’s memory — preserved, not displaced.
Gökçe is a house of ideas: a dialogue between old and new, permanence and change, the wild and the crafted. More than a residence, it is an experience — a place to be still, to breathe, to belong.
Step inside Gökçe Villa and enter a world where architectural elegance meets the soul of nature. This expansive double-height living and dining area is bathed in natural light, framed by panoramic views of forest and sea. The floor is paved with volcanic basalt slabs, and a central oak table with bench seating anchors the room. An open fireplace, also carved from basalt, adds warmth and continuity, while a handcrafted open-tread timber staircase leads to the first-floor gallery.
Above, a vaulted ceiling of cedar and chestnut wood is crowned by bespoke chandeliers of wrought iron and wood, creating an atmosphere of contemplative calm—almost monastic in its quiet grandeur.
The kitchen blends modern minimalism with earthy textures. Its clean lines and natural materials provide a seamless backdrop for cooking and conversation. Fully equipped, it invites both self-catering and the pleasures of traditional meals prepared by the GG team. Culinary enthusiasts are welcome to join and learn the secrets of Turkish cuisine.
Upstairs, two master suites offer distinctive character and shared access to a large balcony. The north suite features a barrel-vaulted ceiling, polished wooden floors, and a super king-size bed that appears to float against a wall crafted from hand-cut chestnut cubes. A dressing area leads to a luxurious bathroom with pebbled walls, an angel-white marble double basin, and a monsoon shower. The south suite mirrors this elegance, with views of Gökçe Gemile Bay, a suspended bed of seasoned chestnut, and a double basin carved from Kayseri basalt.
On the ground floor, a spacious twin-bedded room offers serene forest views, with an adjacent shower room that also serves as a guest cloakroom. This compact space impresses with Elmalı marble, granite flooring, and a wash basin sculpted from Aliağa basalt.
Outside, nestled beside the pool, the hidden guest house offers a self-contained space with a double bedroom, kitchen-living area, and shower. Its green roof leads up to a pergola-covered terrace, furnished with an oak trunk table and cushioned ottoman seating—the perfect spot to gaze out over the sea and forest.

At Gemile Villa, the outdoors is not just a setting—it’s an immersive experience of nature, serenity, and privacy. Hidden from view and surrounded by lush forest, the villa offers absolute seclusion within a beautifully designed garden landscape filled with local flora and shaded by mature trees.
Winding mosaic paths echo the region’s cultural heritage and lead you through sunlit terraces, leafy alcoves, and an elegant pergola positioned at the highest point of the garden. From here, breathtaking views of the forested hills, turquoise bays, and distant mountains unfold—perfectly accompanied by the gentle sounds of birdsong and rustling leaves.
The 140-square-meter saltwater infinity pool, elegantly unheated, blends seamlessly with its surroundings. Lined with natural Dalaman river stones, the pool features a soft-sloping beach-style entry. Adjacent lies the sculptural hot tub, carved from a single boulder, where water cascades into a tranquil ornamental pond below.
Tucked beside the pool and nestled into the slope is a discreet guest house. With its warm stone architecture and green roof, it’s ideal for visitors seeking privacy. The roof terrace above, complete with a pergola and Ottoman-style seating, is a magical spot for sunset dinners or stargazing.
A unique water slide—entirely concealed among the surrounding rocks—creates the playful illusion of a natural stream flowing into the pool, offering both fun and aesthetic harmony.

Smoking Policy
As in many Mediterranean regions, fire poses a serious risk during the hot, dry summer months. For this reason, a strict no-smoking policy applies inside all buildings.
Guests are welcome to smoke in outdoor areas, including the gardens, private coves, and the beach — provided they use ashtrays and dispose of cigarette waste responsibly, and with consideration for non-smoking guests.
However, smoking is strictly prohibited on the private funicular railway and in its surrounding areas. This is both a safety precaution and a legal requirement, due to the high risk of fire.

About Motorized Water Sports
To protect the natural environment and preserve the peaceful atmosphere of Gökçe Gemile, motorized water sports are not available on-site as standard.

For guests seeking more active water experiences, these options can be tailored to their preferences and brought to them in complete privacy and convenience.
