Kaya Palazzo Golf Resort offers 633 rooms spread across the main building, garden area and eight private villas. Every room comes with the essentials you'd expect at this level: bathrobes and slippers, hairdryer, telephone, complimentary Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating, minibar, tea and coffee facilities, satellite TV and an electronic safe. The rooms are spacious and well maintained, designed more for comfort and function than boutique flair, which is exactly what most golfers want after a long day on the course.
The main restaurant runs an open buffet with a strong range of international dishes, and the resort backs that up with five à la carte options. YaDa Sushi covers Asian, Serafina handles Italian, Mezzo focuses on fish, Steak House serves traditional Turkish grills and there's a lively steakhouse for those who want a proper cut of meat. Most of the restaurants overlook the sea, and the standard is what you'd expect from a five-star Belek resort, plenty of choice and easy group-friendly dining. There are also several bars and snack spots serving Turkish and international bites throughout the day, plus 24-hour room service and a dedicated kids' restaurant if you're travelling with family.
Beyond the golf, the resort's spa and wellness centre is one of the real highlights. Covering 3,500 square metres, it's designed around an Ottoman theme and blends Turkish, Finnish and Russian influences across its treatment rooms, hammams and relaxation areas. It's a serious facility, and it's popular with non-golfers and post-round recovery alike. If you've never tried a Turkish hammam, it's a great post-round reset, and there's a solid menu of massages and treatments for recovery days.
For those who want to stay active off the course, there's a comprehensive fitness club, tennis courts and football pitches. I'm a sucker for resorts where you can finish 18, grab a bite and be back at the room in minutes, and this place nails that. Non-golfers aren't stuck either, the spa, beach time and sports facilities make it a proper resort week, not just a golf sleepover.
