BELEK – A GOLFER’S PARADISE

A true paradise for golfers on the shores of the Mediterranean, set in among the eucalyptus and pine trees, set against the spectacular backdrops of beautiful sandy beaches and the snow-capped Taurus Mountains. Belek is only a 30-minute drive from Antalya airport.

Belek has been designated the National golfing region and has been developed thanks to cooperation between the Belek Tourism Investors Association and the Tourism Ministry. Belek has twelve golf courses built to international standard currently in use, with a further three  more under construction. These truly superb golf courses are set in a stunningly beautiful natural area and most are attached to 4 or 5 star hotels.

A new 27 hole championship course development designed by Nick Faldo complements other courses designed by, amongst others, David Jones, David Feherty (of Ryder Cup fame) and Michael Gayon. A new course designed by Colin Montgomery has also just opened. Players from all over the world are discovering the resort of Belek with world class courses set in among the eucalyptus and pine trees and white sandy beaches.

All facilities have been constructed to extremely high standards providing a prestigious and ideal atmosphere for families and golfers alike.
The area offers floodlit tennis courts, indoor and outdoor summing pools, completely equipped health and fitness centres, play areas and much more.


The town centre of Belek, with its tree-lined avenues, fountains, shops and bars,
is small but it provides the facilities you’d expect from a small coastal resort.

Investment in the town continues to match the growth of golf and tourism in the area.

With a long and sandy beach together with new and fresh facilities.



Belek offers great potential investment opportunities.
