Holiday Villas with a Large Private Pool

Why choose a large pool?

Many villa pools are built for cooling off rather than swimming, and a few strokes take you from one end to the other. A pool of 10 metres or more changes that: keen swimmers can do lengths before breakfast, and families or groups of friends can spread out, with children playing in one area while adults swim or float in another. The sun terrace around a bigger pool usually has more room for loungers too.

Large pools tend to come with larger villas and gardens, so this page is also a good starting point for multi-family holidays, reunions or a group celebrating a special birthday.

Check the dimensions

The listing shows the pool's length × width; depth is not always given. Before you decide, check or ask:

• Exact length, width, and the shallowest and deepest points
• Is it a straight rectangle, or a freeform shape that is harder to swim in?
• Is there a shallow area or a separate children's pool?
• Can the pool be heated, and what does heating a large pool cost?
• How private is the pool from neighbouring properties?

Regions and season

You will find large pools among the hillside villas of Kalkan and Kaş, the country villas around Fethiye, and bigger properties in Göcek and Bodrum. July and August are peak pool months. In May and October a big pool takes longer to warm up, so agree any heating arrangement in advance.

Book with the owner

Villora does not take bookings; owners set prices and terms. Check the VillaNo and Tourism Permit number on the listing, and get key details, including the pool dimensions, confirmed in writing.
