• Blue Flag beaches - miles of pristine golden sand with shallow, crystal-clear waters

🎉 Good to Know for your Belek holidays

• 🤩 Fun fact: Belek's coastline is a protected turtle nesting area for endangered loggerhead turtles! You might spot baby turtles making their way to the sea May-September. The resort was purpose-built around these nesting beaches, so nature and luxury go hand-in-hand here.

• 💶 Money: the lira moves about, so most people change a little and put the rest on a card. Outside the resorts a kebab and a drink is around £8 / €9, a beer in a village bar about £3 / €3.50, and a taxi to Antalya about £25 to £35 / €29 to €40.

• 🍽 Must-try: Traditional Turkish breakfast spreads at your hotel - we're talking olives, cheeses, fresh bread, honey, eggs cooked every way imaginable. For dinner, try proper Turkish kebabs at local spots outside the resorts, and don't miss gözleme (Turkish flatbread) at beach cafes.

• 🚗 Getting around: Most people stay put at their resort - everything's included! But dolmuş minibuses run along the main road to Antalya (45 minutes) and Side (30 minutes) if you fancy exploring. Taxis are reasonable for day trips too.

A holiday in Belek is perfect for you if...

• You want a five-star holiday for the price of a three-star hotel at home.

• You love all-inclusive because you would rather pay once, before you fly, and then not have to think about money all week.

• You play golf, or you live with somebody who does, and you would like the beach and the first tee in the same postcode.

• You have children who need a waterpark, a kids' club and a theme park, ideally without a transfer between them.

• You like your sand soft and your sea shallow, and you would rather not walk in on shingle.

🏨 Belek Hotels 2026 and 2027

Whether you want a theme park attached to your room, an adults-only pool or the cheapest way into a five-star, here are the hotels we would pick...

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Which are the best family hotels in Belek?

• The Land of Legends Kingdom Hotel sits inside the theme park, so the rollercoasters and the water park are a walk from your room rather than a coach trip. There is a 5D cinema and a Turkish bath for the grown-ups.

• Titanic Deluxe Golf Belek pairs one of the biggest spas on this coast with a games centre, dodgems and a water park, and the golf courses are on the doorstep.

• Granada Luxury Belek has the Wonderland aqua park on site, three man-made beaches and poolside cabanas, plus restaurants running from Turkish to Asian. Five-star for families who want everything inside the gates.

💑 Which Belek hotels are best for couples?

• Adam & Eve Hotel is adults only, so the pools stay quiet and the restaurants stay calm. It is the one to pick if the phrase "kids' club" is a reason not to book.

• Calista Luxury Resort is beachfront and properly grown-up, with the kind of gardens you end up walking through twice a day.

• Susesi Luxury Resort has a pier to sit on with a drink and a wellness centre for the afternoon you do not feel like moving. The cocktails have a reputation on this coast.

⛳ Which Belek hotels are best for a golf holiday?

• Maxx Royal Belek Golf & Spa has the Colin Montgomerie course attached to it, and it has hosted tournament golf.

• Kaya Palazzo Golf Resort puts its own course, the beach and the hotel on one site, so a morning round and an afternoon swim need no driving at all.

• Gloria Verde Resort is the quieter half of the Gloria estate, set back in the pines with its own courses close by and a thermal spa for afterwards.

💰 Which are the best-value hotels in Belek?

• Sherwood Dreams Resort is right on the sand with four bars and a games arcade, and it comes in well under the five-star headline rates.

• Megasaray Club Belek gives you seven restaurants, a water park and a beachfront position at a price that reads like a mistake.

• Asteria Family Resort Belek has a private beach and a pool with seven waterslides coming off it, at a rate well below the resorts either side of it.

Where to Stay in Belek

Belek centre is where the golf courses, the biggest resorts and the Land of Legends sit. If you want everything within a taxi fare of everything else, stay here.

Kadriye is the next bay west, a short hop from Belek centre, with a proper village behind it, a market and a row of restaurants that are not hotel restaurants. Better if you like the idea of walking out for dinner.

Bogazkent is the eastern end, quieter and greener, closer to Side than to Belek centre. Good for a slower week.

Iskele is the small harbour end of the strip, handy for boat trips and the calmest stretch of sand.

If none of that suits, Antalya itself is about 35 minutes away and swaps the resort for an old town, a harbour and a city beach.

All-Inclusive Belek Holidays 2026 and 2027

All-inclusive means your food, drinks and snacks are paid for before you fly, so you can leave your wallet in the room and get on with the holiday. In Belek this the most popular way to holiday. Most of the resorts here do brilliant all-inclusive options.

What Turkey adds on top is ultra all-inclusive which means branded spirits instead of local ones, several à la carte restaurants alongside the buffet, and food available most of the day rather than at three fixed sittings. On a good ultra package you can have a proper steak dinner on Tuesday and Turkish mezze on Wednesday without either one appearing on a bill.

The one thing to check before you book, because it is what catches people out: at some hotels the à la carte restaurants sit outside the package, with a cover charge and a day's notice, and the same goes for imported spirits and fresh juices. Most all-inclusive Belek holidays we sell are ultra, so it is worth reading which tier you are getting.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Which are the best all-inclusive hotels in Belek for families?

• Selectum Luxury Resort puts an aqua park, a run of pools with waterslides and kids' clubs across a wide age range inside one ultra all-inclusive package, with evening shows to fill the gap before bedtime.

• Limak Atlantis Resort is the straightforward family version: beachfront, pools, plenty of food included all day, and enough going on that nobody needs taking anywhere.

💑 Which are the best all-inclusive hotels in Belek for couples?

• Ethno Belek runs ultra all-inclusive with several à la carte restaurants and swim-up rooms, so dinner is a decision rather than a queue.

• Sueno Hotels Deluxe Belek is beachfront with its own golf course close by, and the ultra package covers the à la carte restaurants as well as the buffet, which is the bit that matters on a week away.

What are the best beaches in Belek?

Belek beaches are the reason the resorts were built where they are: soft sand, a shallow shelf that goes out a long way, and Blue Flag status along the strip. Antalya province holds 232 Blue Flags, more than any other city in the world, and Belek and Kadriye are both on the 2026 list.

• Belek public beach is the main stretch, wide and sandy with loungers, showers and a café, and it is the one to head for if your hotel sits back from the water.

• Kadriye beach is the next bay along, a little quieter, with the same sand and a shorter walk from the Kadriye hotels.

• The hotel beaches run the length of the resort and most are set behind dunes and pine, which is why Belek looks green from the air.

• Bogazkent is the eastern end, the least developed part of the strip, and worth the short drive if you want space.

Worth knowing. This is a protected loggerhead nesting coast, about 30km of it, and the beaches are closed to the public from 8pm to 8am between 1 May and the end of September. Nesting starts in May, hatchlings emerge from July to the end of September, and there are fines for being on the sand at night. If you want a sunset walk on the beach, do it outside those months, or take the promenade instead.

For a day on a different kind of beach, Side is about 35 minutes east and has ruins at one end of its sand.

🗓 When to visit Belek

July to August (Peak season buzz) - This is when Belek's absolutely rammed and there's a reason! Temperatures hit properly hot 30-35°C with endless sunshine and warm sea. Hotels operate at full capacity with all restaurants, bars, and entertainment running. Golf courses are immaculate (though early morning rounds recommended!), water parks are pumping, and beaches are buzzing. Book early for best choice - these luxury resorts fill up fast, especially school holidays. Prices reflect the popularity. Perfect for families wanting guaranteed sunshine and every facility open.

May, June, September, October (Brilliant shoulder season) - Proper good value without sacrificing sunshine! May and June hit comfortable 25-30°C, perfect for beach and golf without peak summer crowds. September and October similar, lovely warm weather as things quieten down. Most hotels operate full facilities, though some a la carte restaurants might have slightly reduced hours outside July-August. Still brilliant conditions, beaches are quieter, and hotels offer better rates. Great balance of weather, activities, and value - you get that full Belek experience without the peak summer mayhem.

April, November (Quieter months) - For those wanting to avoid crowds. April hits comfortable 20-24°C, perfect for golf without breaking a sweat. November's similar, though some evening rain possible. Many hotels still open with main facilities running, though some a la carte restaurants might have reduced hours. Sea's swimmable in April, bit fresh in November. Golf courses are quieter and rates drop significantly. Good for golfers and couples, less ideal for families wanting full resort buzz.

December to March (Off-season) - Many hotels close completely for winter. Temperatures drop to 10-18°C with rain, especially December-January. Golf courses stay open and rates plummet for dedicated golfers, but you'll miss the full resort experience. Not recommended for beach holidays - come for the golf, not the weather.
