- Gloria Golf Resort
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.

Extremely efficient and warm service all the way from check in, rooms, restaurants, golf pick up and on day experience - faultless with brilliant and super timely service even at the busiest of times and in the late evenings. Food was also great.
Fabulous hotel! Great food, attentive staff, comfortable & clean rooms, fantastic facilities. We played four rounds of golf across the Old and New courses, and thought they were in fantastic condition as well as being challenging enough. We also played padel three times, but knew to bring our own bats & balls rather than rent them as they paid for themselves by the end of the week. The beach was a short walk from the hotel, and there were plenty of loungers. Great value.
A Wonderful Resort – Our Fourth Stay, and We Would Definitely Return!
We have just returned from our fourth holiday at Gloria Golf Resort, and once again, we had a wonderful time! We have stayed here several times with our children, who absolutely love the resort, and it has become a place we are always happy to return to.
The resort itself is beautiful, spacious, and exceptionally well maintained. The food is excellent and offers an incredible variety, even during a two-week stay. From Chinese and Indian cuisine to freshly grilled meat and fish, a dedicated children's buffet, pasta, and much more, there is something for everyone. The à la carte restaurants are a great addition, and we particularly appreciate the sushi restaurant, which is open every evening. It is a fantastic alternative when you fancy something different from the main restaurant.
The aquapark is great fun for both children and adults, and the sports facilities are excellent. The resort offers plenty of space for activities, including a lovely running route, a very well-equipped fitness centre, and a beautiful spa area with two saunas, a steam room, and a traditional Turkish hammam. There really is something for everyone.
Another major highlight is the staff throughout the hotel. Guest Relations and Reception are always friendly, helpful, and professional. The WhatsApp service is particularly convenient, as any questions or requests are answered incredibly quickly. This makes the whole stay feel easy and comfortable.
One small point of constructive feedback: Having visited the resort four times over the past few years, I have noticed a slight decline in the service at some of the bars, particularly in terms of attentiveness, friendliness, and speed. During our 11-day stay this year, there were occasions when staff members seemed more focused on their mobile phones than on the guests, even when the bars were relatively quiet. I also noticed similar behaviour among some of the lifeguards around the pool. Of course, this was not the case everywhere or with everyone, but compared with our previous visits two or three years ago, the service in these particular areas did feel a little less attentive.
I mention this because we genuinely love Gloria Golf Resort and would be delighted to see the excellent service that we have come to associate with the resort maintained across all areas. Small details like a friendly greeting, noticing a waiting guest, or offering prompt service can make a real difference to the overall experience.
Overall, we absolutely love Gloria Golf Resort and would highly recommend it, especially for families with children. The beautiful grounds, fantastic food, excellent facilities, and welcoming atmosphere make it a very special holiday destination. Despite the small point mentioned above, we had another fantastic holiday and would definitely consider returning for a fifth time!
Thank you to the team for another lovely stay. We look forward to visiting again!
I enjoyed staying at the resort. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful and the all inclusive was a good standard. We played both courses and they were both very good. Practice facilities are excellent and it's a great golfers set up. Food in the clubhouse after playing was excellent and the overall atmosphere was excellent. I found the main hotel a little busy and because of the time of year most people were in the hotel as opposed to around the estate. That's something that we noticed as we normally travel in May and is something to consider. The food offering is very good and even on the last day we were able to have an almost full breakfast even tho leaving at 6am. Drinks in AI were good although I got tired of the EFS lager and some of the Turkish wine is OK but certainly not Rioja kind of standard. Overall very good. Having stayed at other resorts I would rate Gloria as a good resort and much better value than some of the other resorts. All depends on your priorities.
Lovely hotel with exceptionally helpful and accomodating staff. Food and facilities superb
