Belek

Belek is a purposefully designed premium holiday paradise, primarily targeting sports and luxury enthusiasts. The area has more than ten world-class golf courses designed by renowned architects. It is also home to 'The Land of Legends,' a massive water park and entertainment center providing all-day fun for families. The beaches are wide, sandy, and equipped with excellent facilities. While Belek is modern, the ancient Aspendos Theater is located nearby; it is one of the world's best-preserved Roman structures and still hosts opera festivals. The local fauna is also rich, as the nearby pine forests and gardens are home to many rare bird species. The hotels' all-inclusive offerings represent the highest standard of international and Turkish cuisine. Antalya Airport is only a 30-minute drive away, making Belek one of the most accessible resorts. Due to the mild climate, the golf season lasts year-round, but the period from May to October is best for swimming in the sea.
