Simena Villas

About Simena Villas

Simena Villas is an independent timeshare resort in Antalya, affiliated with RCI. As an independent resort rather than part of a large international chain, it retains its own local character while still giving owners access to RCI's global exchange system, so a week here can be used on-site or traded for a stay at another affiliated resort elsewhere in the world.

The Setting: Antalya and the Turkish Riviera

Antalya is one of Turkey's best-known coastal cities, sitting on the Mediterranean with a mix of beaches, old-town streets and ancient ruins within easy reach. Simena Villas is close to Antalya's beaches (around 1 km) and the Old Town district of Kaleiçi (around 2 km), where cobbled lanes, Ottoman-era buildings and waterfront restaurants make for an easy evening out. Further afield, within roughly 15–45 km, are some of the region's best-preserved archaeological sites, plus the Duden Waterfalls just outside the city. It's a destination that works equally well for a beach-focused week or one built around sightseeing.

Things to Do Nearby

Owners and renters don't have to go far for a full holiday itinerary. The Antalya Museum covers Lycian, Roman and Byzantine history, Perge Ancient City has substantial Greco-Roman remains including its stadium and gates, and Aspendos Ancient Theatre — a short drive out of town — is one of the best-preserved Roman theatres anywhere and still hosts performances today. Closer to the resort, the beaches and Old Town cover the everyday essentials: swimming, markets, cafés and waterfront walks.

Selling or Renting a Week at Simena Villas

If you own a week at Simena Villas and are ready to move on, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. As a seller, you set your own asking price, buyers contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — you simply pay a one-time listing fee to advertise. This keeps the process transparent: you know your costs upfront and keep control of the price.

Because Simena Villas is an independent resort, resale isn't handled by a big-brand transfer desk. Instead, ownership transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, sellers should confirm directly with the resort or its management company what the current transfer fee is, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and what the current annual maintenance fee is — these details aren't standardised across independent resorts, so they need to be checked case by case rather than assumed.

A resale buyer at Simena Villas should expect to take over the week itself and the ability to use the resort's RCI affiliation for exchanges, subject to RCI's own membership terms and exchange availability. Buyers should not assume any resort-specific perks, upgrades or banked points carry over automatically — these should be confirmed with the seller and the resort before completing a purchase.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters coming to Simena Villas are typically drawn by the combination of Mediterranean coastline and easy access to historical sites, so a listing that mentions proximity to the beaches, Kaleiçi and the main ruins tends to cover what renters usually want to know. Antalya has a long tourist season thanks to its warm climate, with spring and autumn offering a quieter, cooler alternative to peak summer. Antalya International Airport serves the city, and most visitors arrange transfers to their resort in advance.
