The ultimate all-inclusive on the Turkish Riviera

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Gloria Serenity Resort earns its name slowly, the way all the best resorts do: through the scent of eucalyptus drifting through the 37,000-plus-square-foot Serenity Spa, the sound of water spilling across hammam marble, the warmth of spa pavilion where the sea breeze calms your senses.

Belek's fragrant pine forests give way to Ottoman-inspired domes and cascading gardens before the Turquoise Coast finally reveals itself — a 1,640-foot-long private beach where the Mediterranean shimmers in improbable shades of lapis and jade. At the teppanyaki counter, knives ring against steel as dinner becomes theater, while the onsite chocolatier fills the nearby corridors with aromas that stop you mid-stride.

Beyond the main pool's sprawling blue geometry, many villa guests ease into their own heated water, while the rolling fairways of Gloria Golf Club — 45 holes across three courses — glow golden in the late Anatolian afternoon.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Gloria Serenity Resort’s grounds are a destination in themselves. A river winds through the property, flanked by pine forest and manicured gardens so expansive that the resort often feels less like a luxury hotel and more like a small national park.
The Serenity Spa exceeds all-inclusive resort-spa expectations. Its team of masseuses is drawn from around the world — including Bali — and certain treatments take place outdoors in the Spa Pavilion, with the hammam, sauna, float tank and indoor pool rounding out a destination-worthy facility.
Golf access is among this luxury Belek resort's many advantages. Gloria Golf Club, is the country’s first 45-hole golf facility, and its training and practice facilities are Turkey’s largest.
Younger travelers have access to two dedicated clubs — one designed for kids ages 4 to 12, the other for teenagers — an indoor/outdoor play area, and a mini farm with a variety of animals. Families also enjoy shared access to a full aqua park at the neighboring Gloria Golf Resort.
Beyond the expected watersports — parasailing, banana boats, water skiing — Gloria Serenity Resort offers both hard and clay tennis courts alongside beach volleyball, as well as access to the comprehensive Gloria Sports Arena, giving active guests plenty of ways to stay fit.

The Restaurants

Tetrasomia is the main buffet restaurant and the Gloria Serenity Resort’s culinary anchor, rotating through French, Italian, Asian, Aegean, Turkish, and other world cuisines for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a terrace for open-air dining.
The à la carte lineup spans 10 distinct restaurants and cafes, covering serious geographical range: Kül for Turkish, Aka for Japanese, Le Jardin Au Printemps for French, La Trattoria Romana for Italian, River Landing for fresh seafood and Fuego for premium steaks.
Bon Vivant Patisserie and a dedicated Chocolatier elevate the all-inclusive model considerably, with housemade pastries and handcrafted confections available throughout the day.
The bar program is unusually deep for an all-inclusive resort, with a wine cellar, the jazz-themed Ella Fitzgerald Lobby Bar, the Charlie Parker lounge and the Wurlitzer Karaoke Bar rounding out the evenings.
Poolside and beach dining are handled by Route 66 Bar, Olivium Pool Bar and Traces Beach Bar & Restaurant, keeping the food quality consistent well beyond the main dining rooms.
