About Belek
Belek is eucalyptus groves, world-class golf courses, the best Turkish hotels with their own water parks and spas. It suits families with kids, premium travellers, and golfers. The best time to visit is May–October; for golf also March–May and October–November. Midsummer daytime highs average around 34 °C with sea temperatures near 28 °C. July dew point sits near 21 °C — useful context if you are sensitive to humid heat.
Belek is the premium destination on the Turkish coast. The resort was effectively built from scratch inside a 17-kilometre protected belt of pines and eucalyptus trees: there is no old town and no noisy promenade — just some of the country's best ultra-all-inclusive hotels and over 15 championship golf courses.
The air is steeped in resinous pine, and the beaches are long, wide and gentle. That makes Belek one of the most comfortable resorts for families with kids and older travellers.
Within half an hour: the ancient theatre of Aspendos, the Kurşunlu waterfalls, and "The Land of Legends" theme park with world-class rides.
Beaches & things to do
Plan around the numbers: May highs around 25 °C with sea near 22 °C; July peaks near 34 °C / sea 28 °C; October still offers roughly 26 °C air and 24 °C water for many swimmers. Rain-day counts rise again from November (≈8 days). Shoulder months usually mean easier hotel rates and more pleasant daytime walks than midsummer.
- Golf — 15+ championship courses within a 17 km belt
