Gloria is at the forefront of the spectacular emergence of Belek as a golfing hot spot, largely due to its two championship courses, while it also boasts a nine-hole layout. For Gloria’s Old Course, a local Turkish construction team worked in consultation with international experts to realise the design of French architect Michel Gayon.
The Gloria Resort covers a large expanse, and within it are two excellent hotels, which differ in character, but are both excellent 5* bases for a golf holiday.
The Gloria Verde hotel is an intimate and private destination, with a total of 275 bedrooms. All modern conveniences are included in the guest rooms, most notably full climate control, a private balcony or terrace, safe, mini-bar, wireless internet access and direct dial telephone.
The Gloria Verde is situated right next to the golf complex, so you can simply roll out of bed and on to the courses.
If being pampered is high on your agenda, head for the Thalasso Therapy Centre in the Gloria Verde Spa, where the specialist staff manipulate the beneficial qualities of mineral rich sea water. Thalasso is particularly focused on improving the body’s circulation and expelling the toxins that build up during everyday life, so why not indulge in some pure relaxation during your golf holiday?
Resort guests are also welcome to use the swimming pools, both outdoor and indoor, the well-equipped gym and tennis courts, with the facilities of both hotels available to all visitors (the two complexes are connected by complimentary shuttle service).
The resort town of Belek is also famous for its miles of sublime sandy beaches, which are one of just 17 sites where the Caretta turtles choose to lay their eggs. The Gloria Resort has a great choice of restaurants, bars and even a nightclub.
