Belek – Turkey’s Golfing Paradise
If you are looking to buy property in Turkey, you love stunning scenery & sandy beaches, and you love your golf, then the purpose built, luxury resort of Belek is where you want to be. Home to more than 30 hotels, and one of Turkey’s main tourist hubs its gained huge recognition since it was built and attracts thousands of people to its shores throughout the years.
Europe’s Best Golf Destination
Initially appealing for its gorgeous sandy beaches, local spas and mineral water from several ground springs, it’s now a golfers paradise and was named ‘Europe’s Best Golf Destination’ in 2013. Yes, that was eight years ago now, but its popularity shows no signs in stopping down, and over the years many stars have played here including Rory McIIroy, Lee Westwood and Justin Rose who participated in the Turkish Airlines Word Golf Final which was held at the Antalya Golf Course.
Did you know that both Sir Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie created two fantastic courses in Belek?
Nick designed the Cornelia Resort and Montgomerie designed the aptly named Montgomerie Maxx Royal. Both courses feature in the ‘Best Golf Courses in Belek’ list and others include Carya Golf Club, Lykia Links, Pines Course, Nobilis Golf & PGA Sultan Course.
One of the key features of most of the courses within Belek, and in Turkey as a whole is that the green fees here are considerably cheaper than what you might find in the rest of Europe such as Spain & Portugal, but the quality of the courses & the on-site facilities is just as high, plus, there’s courses for everyone, whether you are just starting out on your golfing journey or whether you’ve got a few good rounds under your belt.
Of course, there’s plenty of other things to do here as well, including the Kursunlu Waterfall, home to around 100 different bird species, there’s the Ancient City of Perge complete with its Great Amphitheatre and there’s the extensive shopping & eateries of Belek’s Boulevards and tree lined streets – don’t forget to visit those!
In terms of properties here, you’ll find an excellent range of apartments and villas, both new build & re-sales which range in value from £60,000 to £350,000, and for anytime that you don’t use the property yourself, you can always get a good rental during the popular summer months.
