Why Book Your Belek Holiday with GotoBeach?

Belek is the polished, pine-scented heart of the Antalya coast — Turkey's golf capital and the address most of our guests have in mind when they picture a serious five-star all-inclusive week. A protected belt of umbrella pine and eucalyptus runs right down to a long ribbon of Blue Flag sand, the championship courses sit just behind the dunes, and the resorts here are some of the largest and most lavish in the Mediterranean. It is roughly 30 to 40 minutes by transfer from Antalya Airport, close enough to land and swim the same day, far enough to feel like its own calm, manicured world. If you want immaculate grounds, an enormous buffet, a spa the size of a small village and a fairway on the doorstep, this is the strip.

Every Belek package we sell carries full ATOL financial protection under licence #11211, and your ATOL Certificate lands the moment you book — read how your ATOL financial protection works before you commit a penny. Every resort on this page has been hand-picked and inspected in person against our 22-point criteria, not lifted from a brochure, so you are booking somewhere a member of our team has actually walked through, eaten in and timed the walk to the beach.

"Belek is where Turkey decided to do luxury properly — the golf, the grounds, the food, all of it a notch above," says Raşit Eti, our Turkey Destination Specialist, who has spent more than thirty years in Turkish tourism, from senior management at Sunrise Queen and Mylome Luxury to director roles at Air Tours, and still walks this coast every season re-checking the hotels in person. "I'll tell a golfer to look at the courses, but I'll tell a family the same resorts have some of the best kids' worlds and aquaparks on the Med." His honest shortlist of the best all-inclusive hotels in Antalya is the place to start, and Belek beyond the golf course covers what the resort offers if you never pick up a club.

Top hotels in Belek

Inspected in person · 22-point criteria

Belek is deep in five-star resorts, so this is a tight, honest shortlist rather than the full programme — the properties that consistently earn their place for golf, for families and for couples who want their luxury done quietly and well.

Belek · Antalya

Maxx Royal Belek Golf Resort

Ultra-Luxe Golf
★★★★★

The benchmark for ultra-luxury in Belek — vast pine-shaded grounds, its own championship golf course, a beach club, a spectacular spa and à la carte dining that genuinely competes with city restaurants. Polished, spacious and quietly grand, with service to match. The standout for golfers and couples who want the very best of the strip.

🏖 Private Blue Flag beach · golf course on site

Belek · Antalya

Cullinan Belek Hotel

Family Luxe
★★★★★

A modern, lagoon-pooled family flagship with a generous aquapark, big kids' clubs and a long sandy beachfront. The all-inclusive is wide-ranging and the rooms are some of the largest on the strip — a one-call recommendation for families who want luxury without leaving anyone bored.

🏖 Direct sandy beachfront · lagoon pools

Belek · Antalya

Titanic Deluxe Golf Belek

Iconic Golf Luxe
★★★★★

One of Belek's most photographed resorts — a grand, golf-focused five-star with immaculate grounds, a long private beach and a deservedly strong reputation for food. Built for golfers and for anyone who wants the full, theatrical Belek experience with the course minutes from the lobby.

🏖 Long private beach · adjacent golf courses

Belek · Antalya

Rixos Premium Belek

Premium All-Inclusive
★★★★★

A big, buzzing premium all-inclusive that does the lively end of luxury — multiple pools, a strong line-up of à la cartes, headline entertainment and a wide sandy beach. Reliable, generous and a favourite for groups and families who want plenty going on without stepping off-site.

🏖 Wide sandy beach · multiple pools

Belek · Antalya

Gloria Serenity Resort

Golf & Family Luxe
★★★★★

Part of the long-respected Gloria golf cluster, Serenity pairs serious championship courses with a polished, family-friendly resort — lazy-river pools, generous kids' facilities and a calm, grown-up feel after dark. A dependable choice when you want golf access and family comfort in one address.

🏖 Sandy beach · three Gloria golf courses nearby

Belek · Antalya

Kempinski Hotel The Dome Belek

Championship Golf 5★
★★★★★

European-managed five-star polish with direct access to championship golf, a thermal spa fed by natural springs, and elegant, low-key grounds running down to the sand. Quieter and more restrained than the big party resorts — ideal for couples and golfers who value calm and a refined standard of service.

🏖 Sandy beach · on-site championship golf

That is a shortlist, not the full list — Belek's programme runs to dozens of five-stars. Browse the complete line-up on the Belek hotels page, compare it with the wider Antalya coast, or look at neighbouring Lara and Kundu for a shorter airport transfer.

Discover Belek

Belek was purpose-built as a golf and luxury destination, and it shows in the best way: the resorts are set in protected forest, the roads are quiet, and everything is geared towards an easy, all-inclusive week. There is no historic old town here — the appeal is the resorts themselves and the courses behind them — so guests tend to settle into one property and barely leave, which is exactly the point for most. It draws three crowds especially well: golfers chasing winter and shoulder-season tee times, families who want a top-tier aquapark and kids' world, and couples after a calm, manicured luxury break.

When you do want to roam, the riches of the Antalya coast are close. The ancient theatre at Aspendos and the colonnaded streets of Perge are a short drive inland, Antalya's Kaleiçi old town and harbour are about 40 minutes west, and the Köprülü Canyon offers white-water rafting in the mountains. If you are weighing up where on the coast to base yourself, our overview of holidays along the Antalya coast sets Belek next to its neighbours, and Side further east adds an ancient harbour town to the mix.

Belek beach & seafront

Belek's beach is a long, gently shelving ribbon of Blue Flag sand and fine shingle, backed not by a strip of bars but by the protected pine forest that gives the resort its cool, green character. Each hotel runs its own private beach club with loungers, parasols, towels and bar service, and the water is clean and calm enough for easy swimming and paddling. These dunes are also important loggerhead turtle nesting beaches, so you will see conservation signage and a sensible lights-down policy in season — a small reminder that this is a carefully managed stretch of coast. Water-sports operators run jet-skis, banana boats and parascending through the summer, and a long walk along the firm sand at either end of the resorts is part of the daily rhythm. If a polished beach-and-pool week is the priority, our roundup of the best all-inclusive hotels in Antalya picks out the resorts that get it right.

Things to do around Belek

The headline day out is The Land of Legends, the region's blockbuster theme and aqua park, with rollercoasters, slides and an evening show that pulls families in from all along the coast — our guide to the best hotels near Land of Legends is worth a look if the children fall for it. Golf is the other obvious draw: the championship courses around Belek are among the best in Europe, and our Belek beyond the golf course guide is there for everyone else.

For history, the magnificently preserved Roman theatre at Aspendos still stages performances, and the ruins of Perge are an easy half-day. The Köprülü Canyon, up in the Taurus foothills, is the spot for white-water rafting and a riverside trout lunch, while Antalya's Kaleiçi old town, harbour and the Lower Düden Waterfalls reward a day trip west.

When to go to Belek

Belek's season runs from spring to late autumn, and golfers tilt the calendar a little differently from beach-goers — here is how the months feel, and when our specialist would book.

When Air Sea Our take
April–May 21–26°C 18–21°C Prime golf and value season; warm, green and quiet, the sea still bracing but the courses and grounds at their best.
June 30°C 24°C Reliable summer heat with a sea that's finally warm — a sweet spot before the school holidays land.
July–August 34–35°C 27–28°C Peak heat, peak buzz, peak prices — the family aquaparks at full pitch; too hot for serious golf.
September 31°C 27°C Our pick: summer-warm sea, softer heat, fewer families and golf coming back into play.
October 25–26°C 24°C A lovely, calmer wind-down — still swimmable, ideal for couples and a return of the golf crowd.

For a pure beach-and-pool week, late May, June and September give the best balance of warm water, comfortable heat and sensible prices. Golfers should look to April–May and October, when the cooler air makes eighteen holes a pleasure rather than an ordeal. Families tied to the summer break get the hottest, liveliest Belek — book early, because the best family resorts fill fastest in July and August.

The practical parts

Getting there

You fly into Antalya Airport (AYT), the gateway for the whole eastern coast, and the transfer to Belek is roughly 30 to 40 minutes by road. Many UK airports run direct services to Antalya through the summer, and every GoToBeach Turkey package includes your flights and your airport-to-hotel transfer at both ends.

Passports & entry

British passport holders currently don't need a visa for short tourist stays in Türkiye (up to 90 days in any 180). Your passport must meet Türkiye's validity rules — at the time of writing, valid for at least 150 days from arrival, with a blank page for the stamp. Rules can change at short notice, so always recheck the official guidance close to departure.

Money

The currency is the Turkish lira. Cards work fine inside the resorts and at most larger venues, but it's worth carrying some cash for the bazaar, taxis and small cafés. Tipping is customary and appreciated — a little for housekeeping, waiters, caddies and your driver goes a long way and is part of the local rhythm.

Health & insurance

A UK GHIC is not valid in Türkiye, so comprehensive travel insurance with proper medical cover is essential — we'd never send anyone without it. We can point you towards arranging suitable travel insurance when you book. In peak summer the sun is fierce, so pack high-factor sun care and ease into arrival day.

Golf & getting around

Most golfers book through the hotel, which arranges tee times and buggies to the courses behind the resort. Day to day you won't need a car — taxis and hotel shuttles cover Belek town and the beach. Hire a car only if you plan to chase Aspendos, Perge and the canyon under your own steam.

Food & eating out

You'll eat very well from the all-inclusive buffets and à la carte restaurants — Belek's food is a cut above. When you head into Antalya, order a spread of Turkish meze, fresh fish by the harbour, or a proper döner from a busy local spot. For the best catch in the city, see where to eat fish in Antalya.
