Belek is Turkey’s golf capital — 30 km east of Antalya Airport, home to some of the Mediterranean’s finest championship courses and a string of large luxury resorts. If you’re landing at AYT for a Belek holiday, the transfer is short enough that most people don’t think about it in advance. That’s usually when it goes wrong.
The taxi queue at Antalya Airport in peak season can add 30 minutes to what should be a 35-minute journey. This guide shows you every option for getting from the airport to Belek in 2026 — with honest prices and a direct booking link.

Option 1 — Private Transfer (Recommended)
Belek’s big resorts — Regnum Carya, Maxx Royal Belek, Cornelia Diamond, Gloria Golf Resort — are spread across a wide area. Some are right on the D400, others are several kilometres inland along resort access roads. A pre-booked private transfer means your driver knows exactly where your hotel is before you land, not after a long explanation in the taxi queue.
At 30 km and 30–40 minutes, Belek is close enough that the price difference between a taxi and a private transfer is small. The difference in experience — driver waiting at arrivals vs. queueing in July heat — is not.
What’s included:
- Fixed price — confirmed before you book
- Meet & greet inside arrivals terminal
- Flight tracking — delays handled automatically
- Direct to your resort, no stops
- Air-conditioned vehicle, luggage assistance
- Child seats available on request
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before
Price: From €35 per vehicle (sedan, up to 3–4 passengers with luggage).
Option 2 — Airport Taxi
Official taxis at AYT are metered and regulated. For Belek, expect a fare of 900–1,300 TL (around €28–42) depending on traffic and exact hotel location. It’s a reasonable option for short trips — but in July and August, the taxi queue at the airport can stretch 20–30 minutes before you even get in a car.
For golf travellers with equipment bags, make sure the taxi has enough boot space — or book a larger vehicle in advance.
Best for: Couples and solo travellers who didn’t pre-book and need a taxi on the spot.
Option 3 — Public Bus
There is no direct bus service from Antalya Airport to Belek resorts. You’d need to take the AntRay tram to the city center, then a separate bus eastward — a journey of 90+ minutes with connections and luggage. Not practical.
Best for: Nobody travelling to a Belek resort. Pre-book a transfer or take a taxi.
Which Option Should You Choose?
Golf traveller with equipment bags? → Pre-book a private transfer and specify you have golf bags. Make sure the vehicle has boot space — a minivan may be needed for larger groups with equipment.
Family with kids heading to a large resort? → Private transfer. Door to door, child seats available, no taxi queue stress.
Couple, light luggage, arriving mid-morning? → Taxi from the rank is fine at this distance. Quick and straightforward.
Large golf group (6–12 people)? → Minibus transfer. Per-person cost drops significantly and everyone travels together with all equipment.
Late night arrival? → Pre-book. Taxi availability drops late at night and you don’t want to be hunting for transport after midnight.
How Far is Belek from Antalya Airport?
Belek is approximately 30 km east of Antalya Airport, following the D400 coastal highway. Under normal conditions the drive takes 30–40 minutes.
Unlike Side or Alanya, Belek is close enough that traffic rarely adds more than 10–15 minutes even in peak season. It’s one of the most straightforward airport transfers in the Antalya region.
Important: Belek’s resorts are not all on the main road. Many are set back 2–5 km along dedicated resort access roads. Always give your driver the full hotel name — not just “Belek.”
Hotels in Belek — What to Tell Your Driver
Belek’s resorts are some of the largest in Turkey. The most common destinations:
- Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort — one of Turkey’s top golf resorts
- Maxx Royal Belek Golf Resort — ultra-luxury, large complex
- Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa — popular with British golfers
- Gloria Golf Resort — two hotels, multiple golf courses
- Kaya Palazzo Golf Resort — set back from the coast
- Calista Luxury Resort — large family-friendly complex
- Rixos Premium Belek — flagship Rixos property in the region
Always give the full hotel name. Several resorts have similar names or share access roads — be specific.
Practical Tips
Golf equipment: If you’re travelling with clubs, mention this when booking. Most private transfer providers can accommodate a golf bag in a standard sedan boot, but for multiple sets a minivan is safer.
Book at least 24 hours ahead. Belek is one of Turkey’s busiest resort areas — especially in spring and autumn golf season (April–May and September–October).
Return transfer tip. Belek hotels often have taxis available but they can be expensive for the return to the airport. Pre-booking a return transfer is almost always cheaper and more reliable — book it before you check in, not the morning of your flight.
Golf season vs. summer season. Belek gets two distinct waves of visitors — golfers in spring and autumn, beach holiday families in summer. Both peak periods mean high transfer demand. Book ahead regardless of when you travel.
