Belek's Iconic Family Hotel Belconti Resort Celebrates Its 29th Anniversary

Belconti Resort Hotel 29th Anniversary - Here is to many more wonderful years together
A 29-Year Passion — Here’s to many more wonderful years together

Belconti Resort Hotel, which first opened its doors on the Mediterranean coast on 6 September 1997, is celebrating its 29th anniversary with a gala under the leadership of General Manager Mahire Gülen Şenyapıcı – marking its success among Belek's family hotels, high guest loyalty, protected endemic species, natural flavours from the branch to the buffet, and green energy investments.

For more than a quarter of a century, Belconti Resort Hotel has stood out in Belek – one of the finest destinations in Turkish tourism and the Mediterranean basin – with its natural character, respect for the environment and warm, people-focused hospitality. As of 6 September 2026, the hotel proudly completed its 29th year of service.

A 29-Year Tradition of Uninterrupted Service and Top-Ranked Family Hotel Success

Set on a unique stretch of coastline surrounded by 98,000 square metres of stone pine and palm forest, reaching from sand dunes to the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean, Belconti Resort has become a true family home where generations have grown up together since 1997. The resort consistently ranks among the top 3 most preferred family hotels in the Belek region on independent review platforms such as Booking.com, TripAdvisor and HolidayCheck, maintaining a sustainable record of success.

Trust Confirmed by Independent Data

In the “I will definitely come back!” survey of 19 Antalya hotels, published by the tourism news platform Turizm Hattı based on real traveller experiences, user reviews and independent Otelpuan scores, Belconti Resort Hotel was listed among the top ultra all-inclusive hotels for guest satisfaction. This success, confirmed by independent industry data, reinforces the resort's repeat guest rate, which exceeds 40 percent every season.

A Living Mediterranean Ecosystem: Caretta Caretta Turtles, Endemic Sea Daffodils and 1,750 Trees

Home not only to its guests but also to Mediterranean flora and fauna, Belconti Resort carefully protects the nesting grounds of the endangered Caretta Caretta sea turtles along its coastline, while providing special protection for the internationally protected endemic sea daffodils that bloom on the beach. Squirrels, tortoises, friendly ducks and rabbits living freely in the hotel's natural landscape are an inseparable part of the resort and a delight for guests.

The resort garden, currently home to around 1,750 registered trees, continues to grow its green canopy steadily with new saplings planted every year. Fresh fruit picked straight from the garden's fruit trees is served directly at the open buffets, turning into a sustainable gastronomy experience.

Sustainability Vision: Green Tourism Transformation with a Solar Power Plant

Taking its mission of protecting natural heritage forward with concrete investments, the resort has taken a pioneering step in clean energy with the Solar Power Plant (GES) commissioned within its group, with an installed capacity of 3,200 kWe / 4,004 kWp. With 7,280 high-efficiency bifacial panels and 11 new-generation inverters producing more than 5,860 MWh of sustainable electricity per year, the hotel meets its energy needs from renewable sources, significantly reduces its carbon footprint, and stands among the leading examples of green transformation in Turkish tourism.

A Service Philosophy That Makes Guests Say “I'd Come Back Again”

At a time when hospitality concepts are rapidly becoming mass-produced and impersonal, Belconti Resort Hotel continues to offer people-focused service and sincere Turkish hospitality with the same enthusiasm as on its very first day. Known for its collaborations with the TEMA Foundation, environmental awareness and renewable energy vision, the hotel's guest reviews most often include phrases such as “Our summer holiday isn't complete without coming to Belconti every year” and “Belconti, again and again” – lifting its repeat guest rate far above the industry average. Guests who once came as children with their parents now walk through the same doors with their own children, symbolising Belconti's 29-year legacy of trust.

“When we laid our foundations among the sand dunes and pine trees 29 years ago, we had a single vision: to build a warm holiday home that leaves a mark not only in our guests' memories but also in their hearts. Today, seeing guests who once ran around our hotel as children return with their own children; protecting the Caretta Caretta turtles and endemic sea daffodils on our beach; serving fresh fruit picked from the trees in our garden directly at our buffets; and leaving a clean environment for the future through our green energy investments – this is our greatest joy. Being among the top 3 for guest satisfaction for 29 years with an independent and sincere character, in a destination as competitive as Belek, is thanks to the dedication of all our colleagues who put their hearts into their work and the unwavering trust of our guests. We are honoured to carry this deep-rooted family bond, our respect for nature and our sustainability values into the future.”

— Mahire Gülen Şenyapıcı, General Manager, Belconti Resort Hotel

Renewed Facilities Focused on Sports, Nature and Children

Entering the season with renewed room concepts, expanded sun terraces, a fully equipped aquapark and interactive Mini Club entertainment, Belconti Resort offers a year-round resort ecosystem with 10 certified professional tennis courts and international sports facilities. With its nature-friendly landscape architecture and eco-friendly practices, the resort is among the pioneering properties preserving the floral balance of the Belek region.
