Surrounded by a large garden area with countless pine trees, the excellent Gloria Golf Resort enjoys a wonderful location in the heart of the Turkish Riviera. It is separated from the beautiful, 500 m long sandy beach only by the Acisu River, and guests can access the beach crossing the hotel's own wooden bridge. The centre of Belek is about 7 km away, while the city of Antalya is at about 50 km. The international airport can be reached within a 30-minute drive. Offering 45 holes, including two 18-hole championship golf courses, the Gloria Golf Club, designed by renowned French architect Michel Gayon, is the largest golf complex in Turkey. The hotel itself features elegant accommodation and has a top-class spa and fitness area. Guests can choose between various exquisite restaurants serving delicious food as well as several cosy bars. Simply a perfect place for golf enthusiasts and people wishing to spend a beach holiday in sophisticated surroundings.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Very calm, green and peaceful, had wonderful weeklong family retreat! Very good facilities and amazing food. Particular thanks to Ms Zeynep Akilli who works at the garden pool bar for her going above and beyond in her generous hospitality, personal approach and friendly service!
Bar staff, cleaners, catering staff including waiters and waitresses were all of the highest quality. I was very disappointed with the attitudes of the reception and management staff. In my opinion they were extremely poor and disinterested which genuinely made it a poor experience.
What surprised me most is how good Gloria is when you are not playing golf. A long wooden bridge crosses the river to the beach, where you will find loungers, a small bar at the end of the pier, and cabanas that are worth every minute you spend in them. The main pool has a lively but relaxed atmosphere, never the chaotic scene you might expect from an all-inclusive.
La Source Spa is a genuine highlight and the perfect answer to aching shoulders after 36 holes. For families, the kids' and teens' clubs are among the best in Belek, which means parents can actually tee off with a clear conscience. And don't miss the Sports Arena: trying the diving boards is a story you will be telling at the next dinner party.
The verdict
Gloria first opened in 1997, but you would never guess it. Regular renovations keep the interiors fresh, all warm stone, wood and understated elegance. If you have a spare day, the ancient Roman theatre at Aspendos is close by and absolutely worth the trip.
Gloria Golf Resort is not just a great golf hotel. It is the benchmark the rest of Belek is measured against. Book it once and you will struggle to go anywhere else.
6 Stars!
My stay at Gloria Golf was absolutely wonderful, and I would especially like to thank the Guest Relations team — Katerina, Azalia, and Dayana.
They were always friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful, assisting me with everything quickly and professionally. I accidentally left a few personal belongings in my room after check-out, and within just 15 minutes, they had found them and arranged shipment directly to the city I was staying in.
Thank you so much for your truly excellent and efficient service. Your kindness and professionalism made my experience even more special! ❤️
We had a lovely time both at the hotel and on the golf course. We thouht it was good value for the money spent. We had no complaints. The place was spotless and well looked after. The food choice was terrific, varied, well presented and very tasty.
