Cullinan Belek 

Luxe beachside vibes

An ultra-modern beach retreat packed with restaurants, fun-focused facilities and an east-meets-west spa

No metaphorical stone went unturned during the conception of this all-in, all-singing, all-dancing but ultra luxe Belek resort. Everything you could possibly need lies within its 42 acres; you can tee off, dip, slip and slide, dine around the world, see a show and embrace muscle-soothing treatments without stepping foot outside its limits. It’s hard to pick just one stand-out selling point, but the 800-metre-long beach has got to be up there. It’s been awarded Blue Flag status and is home to a couple of piers made from stunning Iroko wood, as well as a few private cabanas that are available to rent; the ones on the pier are our top pick as they feature a ladder into the sea.

Why we love Cullinan Belek

  • Europe’s best always has a good ring to it; in the case of Cullinan Belek, it’s the title of Europe’s Best Luxury All Inclusive Resort, as awarded by the 2024 World Travel Awards

  • The waterpark is a favourite with young and young-at-heart guests thanks to its 13 slides that are split between sedate kids slides and more thrilling ones for adults; it’s heated through the winter too

  • On a week’s holiday, you wouldn’t need to dine at the same place twice; aside from the all-encompassing main restaurant, there are à la carte venues serving up dishes from around the globe

  • The variety of accommodation is extensive but the main choice to make is the view you’d like, whether you want a swim-up pool or a family room (or a combo) or if you want to go all out with a villa
