Turkey Review: Play & Stay at Cornelia Resorts in Belek
Nestled between Europe and Asia, Turkey overflows with a multitude of different influences, which is best portrayed through its delicious food and stunning architecture. What’s more, the country is home to four of the top 100 golf courses in Europe, attracting elite golfers from all overthe world.






The golfing capital of Turkey has to be Belek. Formerly a small fishing village, it is here that discerning golfing couples and groups can experience ultra-luxurious fivestar
golf resorts with spectacular all-inclusive offerings.
Home to 14 immaculate golf courses, many of which are championship courses, Belek is the most concentrated golfing region in Europe. All 288 holes, carved through avenues of fragrant umbrella pines and across natural sand ridges, are located within 20 minutes of one another. They are accompanied by crystal-clear lakes and breathtaking panoramas of
the sea and Taurus Mountains. Top courses include the Faldo-designed course at Cornelia Golf Club, the Montgomerie Maxx Royal and the Old Course at Gloria Golf Club.
Luxury resort packages in Belek area fraction of the cost of other golf destinations, without compromising on quality or service.
Off the course, holidaymakers can relax on Belek’s clean white beaches or admire ancient
sites such as the Roman amphitheatre at Aspendos and the ancient Greek city of Perge.
For those looking to make a quick getaway to the first tee, the Cornelia Resorts – Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa and Cornelia De Luxe Resort – are a perfect choice.
