And of course, Belek is a resort spa center in Turkey. In addition to the usual spa care, thalassotherapy is actively used here. You can have spa treatments using algae, mud and sea water. Such procedures can significantly improve the condition of the skin, speed up metabolism, strengthen the immune system and contribute to weight loss.
Hotels in Belek
Most of the hotels in Belek are luxury 5 star hotels, all inclusive. As a rule, they are located on the coast, have their own fenced beach, water parks, spa centers, golf courses and much more. You can find budget accommodation in Belek, but it is extremely difficult, especially in the summer months. However, if you still want to save money, look for hotels farther from the coast, as the farther from the sea, the cheaper the room.
