Set on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, Regnum Carya is one of the standout five-star golf resorts in Belek, with the beach on one side and the championship Carya Golf Club on the other. You're less than 30 minutes from Antalya Airport, with the hotel sitting neatly between the first tee and a private stretch of white sand.
The headline, of course, is the golf. Carya is a heathland-style layout that feels refreshingly different to many resort tracks in the region and it hosted the Turkish Airlines Open in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Add in full-course floodlighting for evening tee times and it's one of the most flexible golf options you'll find in Turkey.
Off the course, it's an all-inclusive setup with a big choice of bars and restaurants, pools and a quality spa for post-round recovery. The overall feel is high-end without being stuffy, which is exactly what most couples and golf groups want when they're travelling with mixed handicaps and mixed agendas. There's plenty going on if you want it, tennis courts, fitness facilities and beach access, but the resort understands the rhythm of a golf-focused stay and makes the logistics easy.
Who is this for?
Golfers or groups seeking a high-end, all-inclusive break that pairs a genuine championship test with beach access, extensive dining choice and year-round sunshine. Ideal for couples, societies and anyone who wants European Tour conditions without the hassle of organising tee times, meals or transfers separately.
Who is it best for?
Mid-to-low handicappers who want to play a course that has tested the world's best, plus anyone who values variety off the course, from spa treatments and tennis to night golf under lights. Families and mixed-ability groups will appreciate the five tee options per hole and the sheer range of on-site activities.
