Begonvilla Homes Karaöz

Begonvilla Homes Karaöz Overview

You know what struck me first about Begonvilla Homes Karaöz? It’s tucked away on this quiet stretch of Bağlıdere street where you can actually hear the Mediterranean lapping against the rocks below – and I mean that literally, not in some cheesy brochure way. The place sits in Mavikent, which honestly feels more like a local secret than a tourist hotspot, especially compared to the chaos you’ll find in central Antalya. When I pulled up (parking’s no problem, by the way), I wasn’t even sure I was in the right spot because it looks more like someone’s gorgeous private villa than a hotel.

The whole setup here is refreshingly un-hotel-like, if that makes sense. There’s no marble lobby with fake plants and elevator music – instead, you’re walking into what feels like a friend’s beautifully decorated home where everything just… works. The owners clearly put thought into every corner, from the way the morning light hits the breakfast area to how they’ve positioned the seating areas to catch those sunset views over the Taurus Mountains. I spent way too much time just sitting on their terrace with my coffee, watching fishing boats head out from the small harbor below. The 9.8 rating makes total sense once you’re there – it’s that rare place where the little details actually matter, like how they remember you take your tea without sugar or the way they’ll casually mention the best time to visit the nearby Olympos ruins (early morning, trust me on this one).

What really sets Begonvilla apart is how it captures that authentic Turkish coastal vibe without trying too hard. The area around Karaöz is still relatively undiscovered – you’re about 20 minutes from the tourist crowds in Kemer, but you get this peaceful stretch of coastline that locals from Kumluca actually use for weekend getaways. I loved walking down to the little pebble beaches in the evening when the day-trippers had gone home, or wandering up into the village where there’s this tiny bakery that makes the most incredible simit. The hosts know all these spots, by the way, and they share recommendations like actual people instead of rattling off rehearsed scripts. Sure, it’s not going to have the amenities of some massive resort – no spa or kids’ club or whatever – but honestly, that’s exactly why it works. Sometimes you just want a place that feels real, where you can slow down and remember why you wanted to visit Turkey’s coast in the first place.

• Syed from United States – 13 October 2024 (10/10)

  Located in village Karaozn this modern 1 bdrm apartment had all modern conveniences and had a well stocked kitchen. Host Bekir was superb and was very helpful at all times. He even came to village entrance to guide us in as Google misdirect to back end of property. He was helpful at all times and provided us with whatever we requested. He goes over and above in being the Host that you dream of. Has good recommendations for eating out and activities.place is ideal for relaxing in uncrowded beaches and scenic droves to destinations such as treks and ruins etc.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing at all.

• Dagmar from Germany – 10 October 2024 (10/10)

  Sehr großzügiges helles schönes Appartement, das mit wirklich allem was benötigt wird ausgestattet ist. Die Gastgeber sind ausgesprochen hilfreich (Einkäufe, Transfer), und aufmerksam.
  Neben dem Beach im Ort, schöne Badebuchten nach kleiner Wanderung.

• Derya from Germany – 4 August 2024 (10/10)

  Sehr ruhige, zum Abschalten geeignete Unterkunft mit einem traumhaft wunderschönen Meer- und Bergblick. Sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Gastgeber, die bei Fragen und Problemen sehr hilfsbereit sind.
  Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet.

• Omar from France – 2 August 2024 (10/10)

  Je tiens à exprimer ma profonde satisfaction pour notre séjour à l'appart hôtel. L'endroit était d'une propreté irréprochable, agréable et bien entretenu. Le propriétaire, toujours disponible, nous a donné d'excellents conseils pour notre séjour. Il a même eu la gentillesse de venir nous chercher à 5h du matin à cause d'un retard d'avion, un geste qui nous a beaucoup touchés. La localisation était idéale pour nous, dans un endroit calme et paisible, à proximité de magnifiques plages. Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis avec un gâteau de bienvenue offert par sa femme. Un grand merci à nos hôtes pour leur gentillesse et leur hospitalité.

• Keyana from Germany – 11 July 2024 (9/10)

  – sehr gut ausgestattet
  – sehr modern
  – tolle Aussicht
  – sehr nette und bemühte Gastgeber
  – sehr ruhig
  – mit dem Auto sind tolle Strände die Küste entlang innerhalb von 8-15 min erreichbar
  – wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt
  
  What could be improved: – der Ortsstrand hat uns nicht gefallen, da er direkt an der Straße lag und eher Seefeeling hatte
  – man hört von der oberen Wohnung Trittschall (hat uns aber nicht weiter gestört, weil wir ruhige Nachbarn hatten)

• Zina from Czech Republic – 4 July 2024 (8/10)

  The appartment is nicely set and has everything you need. Big plus for cat lovers as there was many of them at the time of our stay 🙂 Karaöz is a small and rather quiet village with several camping places. It's located on a Lykian Way which is a plus for history lovers.
  
  What could be improved: There is no asphalt road to the appartment, you have to take the dirt road through the forrest where there are forresting works going on. We didnt know it in advance so it was a huge unpleasent surrprise for us (but after few days we got used to it). I highly recomand to arrive in daytime as it's not easy to fing the way at first.

• Lucy from Qatar – 3 July 2024 (10/10)

• Gareth from United Kingdom – 9 March 2024 (10/10)

  In a great location with fantastic views, just out of town so that you felt you were removed from the bustle but only a 5 minute walk into town
