Cullinan is a gem that blends eco-friendly architecture with historical beauty and Mediterranean charm (think orange tones, marble accents, and picture-perfect gardens). You can find it just 26km from Antalya Airport and 36km from the city centre. Closer to home lies Cullinan Links Golf Club, a mere sand wedge from the front door of the five-star resort.

The hotel has its own private beach and waterpark, not to mention 15 restaurants and bars, 10 outdoor pools, and a mini golf course. There are 544 rooms across the main building, though it’s the swim-up lagoon family rooms and villas which are the most prized. Swing the balcony doors open and in many cases you can practically walk onto the 36-hole golf course, which is the only one in Turkey with a river and seashore. Both the Aspendos and Olympos courses present incredible views of the Mediterranean on one side and the Taurus Mountains on the other. The Aspendos is also available to play at night under floodlights.

A four-time host of the Turkish Airlines Open on the DP World Tour, the Montgomerie is home to one of the toughest and most highly-rated parkland courses in the region. Designed by Colin Montgomerie with European Golf Design and opened in 2008, the 7,133-yard course lets you follow in the footsteps of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy and experience a unique configuration of five par 3s, eight par 4s, and five par 5s. It's best played at night, when the back nine is floodlit, but beware the eight lakes and seven hectares of bunkers and sandy waste areas that lie in wait.

Facilities include a double-ended driving range with 25 bays, a 1,010 m² practice putting green, and a dedicated short-game area. Handicap limits are 36 for women, 28 for men.
