Gloria Verde Resort is a cracking base for a Belek golf break because you are right next door to the Gloria Golf Club set-up. In practical terms, that means you can be on the first tee at Gloria Old, Gloria New or the resort's own Verde nine-hole course within minutes, which is exactly what you want when you are trying to squeeze in as much golf as possible.
Off the course, it is properly geared for golfers. You have two big outdoor pools for a post-round dip, plus a spa with thalassotherapy treatments using mineral-rich seawater, ideal if you have walked 36 holes in the heat. Food-wise, the all-inclusive format keeps things simple and you also get two à la carte options, French and Italian, so you can mix it up rather than living on buffet nights.
If you fancy branching out, you are well placed for the rest of Belek too, with Montgomerie Maxx Royal and Cornelia Golf Club a short drive away. Add in 293 rooms so it feels calmer than some of the larger complexes and you have a resort that does what it says on the tin: good service, easy golf logistics and plenty of downtime in between.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want an easy, walk-to-the-tee Belek base with all-inclusive convenience, a strong spa and enough on-site golf to keep the whole group happy.
Who is it best for?
Groups mixing handicaps. The nine-hole Verde course is ideal for warm-up rounds and beginners, while the Old and New give better players a proper test. Best suited to those prioritising golf logistics and downtime over a big nightlife scene.
