About Us

I'm James, the founder of Luxe Rentals, and I am a British-Turkish national who is based in London. Villa Isabelle, our family business in Kalkan, became a part of our lives in late 2020 following a visit to the beautiful town. Drawn in by its amazing scenery and wide range of opportunities, we made the decision to make Kalkan our second home. Over the recent years, I've spent a substantial amount of time in Turkey, overseeing the operations of Villa Isabelle, exploring the beauty of the country, and establishing valuable connections in Kalkan. These connections extend to both public and private boat trips, airport transfers, restaurant owners, and fellow villa owners.

Luxe Rentals emerged from my desire to enhance the experiences of guests visiting Kalkan, offering them a superior booking process, personalised recommendations, and access to my extensive network. When guests choose Luxe Rentals, they not only avoid the inflated fees imposed by mainstream platforms but also receive a personalised, one-on-one customer service experience to ensure all their needs are met before and during their holiday. Kalkan also has a significant amount of villas, many of which are absent from mainstream platforms. Hence, through Luxe Rentals, I not only enhance the booking experience but also provide access to a diverse range of villas that are not yet featured online.

Sibling to James, Isabelle assumes responsibility for overseeing your booking process and developing customer relationships to curate genuine and personalised experiences. With a profound understanding of Kalkan’s local gems, including beach clubs, restaurants, airport transfers, and day trips, she crafts bespoke recommendations tailored precisely to your preferences and requirements. You can rely on Isabelle as your personal assistant, ensuring an impeccably smooth and exceptional booking journey from start to finish.
