Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa

On Belek’s Mediterranean shoreline, Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa brings together a five-star all-inclusive stay, direct beach access and golf within easy reach. The 571-room resort has the scale for a sociable group trip, yet its Lake Villas, Houses and family room options also suit a longer stay with partners or family. Cornelia Golf Club is around a 3 minute transfer away, making it easy to fit in an early round before the beach, pool or a relaxed lunch by the sea. Its Nick Faldo designed 27-hole layout gives the resort proper golfing substance rather than simply a course nearby.

Faldo King, Faldo Queen and Faldo Prince are arranged as three nine-hole loops, allowing different 18-hole combinations across a stay. The Queen routing uses the back nine of King and the front nine of Prince, moving through pine-lined fairways where position from the tee matters as much as distance. This is parkland golf that rewards sensible decisions and controlled approaches, with bunkers placed to influence the line into greens. The course is kept in strong condition, and the fairways favour precise ball striking, so it is a satisfying test for low handicappers without relying on length alone.

Between rounds, there are eight swimming pools, an aqua park and a spa with Turkish baths, saunas and treatment rooms. Dinner need not become repetitive, with nine à la carte restaurants including Mediterranean cooking at Sapore, Turkish dishes at Sumach and Far Eastern food at Tai Pen. Thirteen bars and cafés keep the resort lively into the evening, while room facilities include air conditioning, a minibar, internet and 24-hour room service. Antalya Airport is about 14 miles away, with transfers taking roughly 30 minutes, and Antalya itself is around 28 miles from the resort.
