As far as beachfront resorts go, Cullinan Belek is a magnificent choice. With contemporary accommodation finished to the highest standard and fantastic on-site golf, you simply can’t go wrong.

Enjoy a combination of ocean and mountain scenery when you play the Aspendos or Olympos courses at Cullinan Links Golf Club – formerly known as Tat International.
