Gloria Golf Resort has that rare blend of sophistication and family appeal thanks to its considerable range of facilities being very close at hand. The first and only resort in Turkey featuring its own on-site golf course, the pleasure of using the golf facilities is the exclusive privilege of the resort’s guests and members.

The five-star hotel is situated in Belek, Antalya and set in pine forests at the foot of the beautiful Taurus Mountains with exclusive access via a bridge over the Acisu River to the 800 metre long sandy beach which will satisfy the most ardent beach lovers. Accommodation includes a presidential suite, 58 villas, 361 originally designed rooms and 8 rooms specially designed to meet the needs of the physically disabled. Golf needn’t be the only sport on your agenda either. As well as tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, there is a well-equipped gym, squash court and various water sports on offer. Just as importantly, adults can enjoy all the facilities here while not having to worry about their children as the resort’s new Children and Entertainment Centre caters for nearly all age ranges. There are also indoor and outdoor pools with sections to suit all ages, trampolines and adventure playgrounds providing many opportunities for the children to climb and slide.

Gloria Golf Club is perhaps the most stylish and sophisticated of clubs in the area, even Turkey, oozing an upmarket feel from the pro shop to the stylish clubhouse terrace. Designed by the French golf course designer Michel Gayon, it poses an exciting challenge for nearly every level of golfer. The 18-hole, par-72, 6888-yard course is a formidable test which features seven lakes, many with Versailles-style fountains.

Gloria has hosted the Turkish Open, in 1998, and the 2000 and 2001 Seniors Tour and 2001 Mid Amateur European championships. It is also the site of the European Senior Tour’s qualifying school. The highlight of a round here is the three superb par-3s demanding medium irons over water as you circle the central ‘show’ lake after another requisite foray through the ancient forests of Belek. The 3-hole academy course is an ideal practice area for beginners. Michel Gayon’s speciality, the "deep" bunker, the huge greens and seven lakes are some of the features of this magnificent course.

The Clubhouse is tastefully decorated and features a restaurant, bar and pro-shop. Here you can taste the unique experience of playing golf all year round on a course surrounded by Belek’s breathtaking scenery.
