Indigo Beach Club & Restaurant in Kalkan is where you go when you want to live your best “I-own-a-yacht-but-left-it-in-Monaco” life. Nestled right on the water, it’s the kind of spot that makes you consider selling everything and becoming a professional beach lounger.
From the moment you descend the steps, you’re greeted with the scent of sea air, sizzling food, and the distant sound of someone clinking ice into a very well-earned cocktail. The loungers are plush, the water is crystal clear, and the service is so slick it almost feels like the staff know what you want before you do. A cold drink? Already arriving. That dip in the sea? Steps away. That moment where you sigh dramatically and say, “I could get used to this”? Happens within five minutes.

The staff are all friendly and welcoming too.
One thing to note especially, in a country where almost all restaurant staff try to usher and pressure you to come in, Indigo certainly takes a more calm approach. We in no way felt pressured to dine. We took our time to check the place out, get the feel of things without being pestered. I'd say...
Read moreThe go to place in Kalkan...centrally located right on the water, the place is charming in its own way although it is getting a li’l worn down. 15 years ago when I was visiting Kalkan with my teenage son, sipping our cocktails on the veranda, we felt like at any moment we were going to befriend a couple of blonds and hop on our vespas parked outside and head out to the hills behind. Now we sheepishly sip our white wines at the bar and start some days chanting ommmmm on its still functional veranda with small waves crashing under. don’t miss it if you are in Kalkan. You owe it to yourself and to this place which contributes so much to...
