Belek is unusual because it has two peak seasons rather than one. Golfers come in spring and autumn, when the temperatures are ideal for eighteen holes; beach and family travellers come in summer, when the sea is warmest. Knowing which Belek you want makes the timing easy.
Belek's two seasons
Most coastal resorts have a single summer peak. Belek has two: a golf peak in the shoulder months and a beach peak in high summer. The championship courses are busiest and in best condition from March to May and again from October to November, while the Blue-Flag beaches and pools fill up from June to September.
Golf season: spring and autumn
For golf, aim for mid-March to May or October to November. Daytime temperatures sit around 18 to 26°C, comfortable for a full round, and the courses, Montgomerie, Carya, National, Cornelia and the rest, are in peak condition. Green-fee demand is high, so book tee times and transfers between courses in advance. Some courses offer floodlit evening golf to extend the day.
Beach and family season: summer
For beach and pool days, June to September is the window. The sea warms from about 24°C in June to 28°C in August, daytime highs reach the low-to-mid 30s, and the all-inclusive resorts run at full tilt with kids' clubs and water parks. July and August are hottest and busiest; June and September are a touch cooler and calmer.

Prices and crowds
Hotel prices track the seasons: highest in July and August, strong in the spring and autumn golf peaks, and lowest in winter when many resorts run quiet spa breaks. For the best balance of good weather, open facilities and softer prices, the shoulder weeks of late May and mid-to-late September are hard to beat.
What is open when
Most of the large all-inclusive resorts operate from roughly April to late October, with a core staying open year-round for golf and spa guests. The championship courses play all year, weather permitting, and are at their best in the shoulder seasons. The Land of Legends and the beach clubs follow the summer season.
