Where the Pines Meet the Sea – Belek’s Hidden Gem Awaits
There’s a certain point on the road from Antalya Airport where the pines swallow you whole. The Mediterranean hum fades, and suddenly, you’re somewhere else — a softer, greener Turkey that smells of resin and sea spray. This is Gloria Verde Resort, a place that doesn’t just offer luxury; it camouflages it in nature, like a pearl tucked in an oyster.
Here, the mornings start with the rhythmic hush of the tide on a Blue Flag private beach, a stretch of sand and pebble that could just as easily belong to the Amalfi Coast. By afternoon, you might be floating in the Thalasso pool, seawater warmed to perfection, your skin salted and your mind erased of deadlines. The evenings? They’re for slow dining under pine shadows, or sipping something cold as the horizon swallows the sun.
This isn’t a resort for rushing. It’s a place where pine forests bleed into fairways, where the Gloria Golf Club — just a stone’s throw away — offers 45 holes of championship-level temptation. And when you’re ready, our free shuttles will take you there, because a Belek golf break should never involve waiting for taxis.
If you came for Golf Holidays in Turkey, you’ll find more than you bargained for: a resort that understands your need for space, flavour, and the occasional morning where your only meeting is with the sea.
Golfers know — it’s not just about the swing, it’s about the setting. Gloria Verde Resort sits just 1 km from Gloria Golf Club, a 45-hole masterpiece designed by Michel Gayon. Here, the fairways weave between pines, water hazards demand precision, and signature holes tempt you to play “just one more.”
Whether you’re here for a quick Belek golf break or a full-blown Turkey golf holiday, the resort’s packages include green fees, free shuttles to the club, and the option to add extras like buggies or club hire. The on-site pro shop can kit you out, and the clubhouse offers food and drink to match your game.
Book your tee times now and make your stay a perfect blend of sea, sun, and sport. Or, better yet, explore our full range of Golf Holidays in Turkey and see why Belek is Europe’s year-round golf capital.
Every room at Gloria Verde feels like it was designed for long, slow mornings. High ceilings, balconies framed by greenery, and beds you’ll remember long after checkout.
A 120-metre private Blue Flag beach curves gently along the shore, with a pier that juts into water the colour of a well-made gin and tonic. Comfortable loungers, beachside beverage service, and the occasional sound of a paddleboard slicing through the bay complete the picture. Pavilion rentals add an extra layer of exclusivity.
From the sprawling main pool to the Thalasso indoor pool with its therapeutic seawater, there’s a body of water for every mood — including a select villa pool for added privacy, a children’s sand pool for younger travellers, and an aquapark with slides to feed your inner child.
Beach volleyball, water sports, aquapark thrills, and more than a few quiet corners for reading. For those chasing a different kind of rush, the fairways of Gloria Golf Club are just minutes away.
The Asklepion Spa & Thalasso blends ancient wellness wisdom with cutting-edge treatments. Seaweed wraps, seawater therapy, and globally renowned skincare lines (Thermes Marins, Jüliette Armand, CACI Ultra) are part of the ritual.
Fifteen treatment rooms, Turkish baths, saunas, an ice fountain, and serene relaxation lounges. Every inch is engineered for escape.
In summer, the Spa Pavilion offers open-air treatments with the sound of waves as your soundtrack.
