Kaya Belek

Kaya Belek brings together a five-star ultra-all-inclusive stay, pine woodland and a private beach on the Antalya coast. Its 0.22 mile stretch of sand gives the resort a relaxed rhythm away from the fairways, while Kaya Palazzo Golf Club is close enough to reach on foot from the hotel. Days can move easily between a round, the beach and the spa, with five football pitches and a Mini Club for children aged four to 12 adding options for mixed groups and families.

The 5,942 yard Kaya Palazzo Golf Course is a par 72 designed by David Jones, whose routing makes use of the existing contours of the ground. It is a course that rewards paying attention to the lie and choosing clubs carefully, rather than simply relying on distance. Four tee sets allow different handicaps to find an appropriate test, useful when travelling with players of varied ability. Before teeing off, the club’s practice areas provide space for a proper warm-up, as well as time to work on specific parts of the game between rounds.

There are 506 rooms across five floors, with standard and family accommodation including satellite television, minibar, safe, hairdryer and room service. Five restaurants and four bars keep evenings varied, and the à la carte choices cover Italian, Asian and Ottoman-Turkish cooking. The spa has a Turkish bath, sauna, Jacuzzi, massage facilities, fitness centre and hairdresser, a welcome place to loosen up after golf. Antalya Airport is less than 30 minutes away by transfer. Kadriye lies under a mile from the resort, while Belek town is around three miles away.
