Belek is Turkey's golf capital, a stretch of Mediterranean coastline where pine forests give way to championship fairways and five-star all-inclusive resorts. Along this same strip of Turkish Riviera sand, golfers, families and spa-seekers share a coastline that was purpose-built for holidaymaking rather than grown into it.

Getting thereBelek is reached via Antalya Airport (AYT), the nearest air hub, with most travellers taking a taxi, private transfer or rental car for the ~30 to 40 minute road journey. Budget travellers can take a bus to Antalya's main bus terminal and change onto a connecting service towards Belek or Serik, though this takes longer and runs on a less predictable schedule.
How long to stayTwo to four days suits a beach-and-pool break, while golfers planning to play multiple courses typically stay closer to a week.
