Rixos Premium Belek
Rixos Premium Belek is a five-star ultra all-inclusive resort on its own beach in Belek, on Turkey's Mediterranean coast about 25 miles (40 km) from Antalya airport. The dining, drinks, pools, a large spa and the children's clubs sit in one price, and every guest gets free unlimited entry and a free shuttle to the Land of Legends theme and water park nearby. It's a big resort with a 700-metre private Blue Flag beach and a spread of pools across landscaped, pine-shaded grounds.

Is it worth it?
A quick look at who Rixos Premium Belek suits, what's folded into the price and the facts to skim first.
Rixos Premium Belek is a five-star ultra all-inclusive, and its biggest draw for families is off site: every guest gets free unlimited access to the Land of Legends theme and water park nearby, shuttle included. On site the rate covers the buffet, the à la carte restaurants within the booking rules, all the bar drinks, a daily minibar refill, the beach and pools, sports and entertainment, so most of a week is paid for once you arrive. Reviewers rate the food and the staff highly, and the Anjana Spa is a repeated high point. The things to weigh are its size, which means long walks between some rooms and restaurants, and an à la carte system that only takes same-day reservations. You'll get the most from it if you'd otherwise pay separately for the theme park, good dinners and a spa.
Best for
You want an ultra all-inclusive with free unlimited Land of Legends access, a long private Blue Flag beach, a big spa and plenty of dining choice, and you'd happily spend most of the week on site.
Maybe not for
You're travelling with a very young baby and want a published baby-kit loan scheme, you want a small quiet hotel, or long walks across a large resort would be hard work.
Best ages
From about four for the staffed kids' club, with teens catered for to 16. Younger children have a parent-supervised soft-play area, a shallow children's pool and a splash park.
What stands out
Free unlimited entry and a free shuttle to the Land of Legends theme and water park for every guest, plus a 700-metre private beach and a large Anjana Spa.
What to check
Whether a cot and baby kit can be arranged, which isn't published, and the airport transfer, which standard rooms arrange for themselves.
Where is it?
Beachfront in Belek's pine-forest resort belt on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, about 25 miles (40 km) from Antalya airport.
Quick facts for families
What the resort is like
Where it sits, how big it is, how you get around and how the top villa tier works.
Rixos Premium Belek sits directly on its own stretch of private beach inside Belek's purpose-built golf-and-resort belt, the pine-forest coastal strip that sets Belek apart from the livelier package towns further along the coast. The grounds are landscaped with pine trees, lawns and wooden decked seating around a series of large pools. It's a big property: an official 2021 factsheet listed around 700 rooms and suites, and the resort has since added a separate tier of private villas and residences, so today's total is higher again. That scale is worth picturing before you book, because guests consistently mention long walks between some rooms and the main restaurants and pools.
Most of the main grounds are on level ground, though some of the outdoor paths are hilly with slight to steep slopes, and one path has a flight of steps you can bypass by a ramp or a step-free route. Golf buggies, the electric carts the resort calls club carts, are available to all guests to move around the grounds and down to the beach, which is how most families cover the longer distances. The main building, holding reception, the shops, bars, restaurants, an indoor pool, the gym, an indoor play area and a sports court, is step-free and served by lifts throughout.
At the top of the accommodation is Club Privé By Rixos Belek, a gated private enclave of villas and residences within the same grounds, with its own butler service, private beach pavilions, a dedicated Club House restaurant, a Beach Lounge and 24-hour in-villa dining. Club Privé guests also have full run of the wider resort, its restaurants, pools, beach and the Land of Legends access.
Make sure it's the right Rixos
Several Belek-area resorts share the Rixos name and the Land of Legends branding, so it's worth checking you're booking this one. Rixos Park Belek is a separate resort with its own licence. Rixos Premium Tekirova and Rixos Sungate are near Kemer, a different town, and Rixos Downtown Antalya is a city hotel. The Land of Legends Kingdom Hotel is a separate hotel built inside the theme park itself. Club Privé By Rixos Belek is not a separate resort: it's this resort's own gated villa booking channel, sharing the identical licence and address.
Every restaurant and bar
The buffet, the à la carte rooms, the children's restaurant, the bars and how the booking works.
Dining is one of the resort's strong points in reviews, with an unusual amount of specific praise for the food at an all-inclusive. The board basis is ultra all-inclusive, covering the buffet, the à la carte restaurants within the booking rules below, the snacks, all the bar drinks, a daily minibar refill and 24-hour room service, though some room-service items carry a charge. There are eight restaurants, plus a Starbucks named on the resort's Turkish-language pages, and vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, diabetic and allergen-specific menus are available on request.
| Restaurant | Cuisine | Dining style |
|---|---|---|
| Turquoise | World-cuisine buffet, with a children’s section | Buffet, walk-in |
| People’s | All-day international | À la carte, listed as 24-hour |
| Akşam | Turkish, grilled dishes | À la carte |
| Piazzetta Italiana | Italian, family dining | À la carte |
| Z’asya | Pan-Asian with a Mediterranean influence | À la carte |
| Mykorini | Greek, a Mykonos and Santorini theme | À la carte |
| Rixy | The children’s restaurant | Open buffet lunch |
| Godiva Café | Chocolate and pastries | Café |
Turquoise is the main buffet, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner across four sections, one of them a dedicated children's area, and it takes walk-ins whenever a small appetite arrives. People's is the casual all-day restaurant, described on the resort's own pages as offering à la carte around the clock, which helps with a baby who eats at odd hours. The à la carte dinners cover a good range: Akşam for Turkish grills, Piazzetta Italiana, Z'asya for pan-Asian and Mykorini for Greek. Children get their own restaurant, Rixy, with an open buffet lunch in a family setting, and Godiva Café handles chocolate and pastries.
The bars
There are at least nine individually named bars, and the resort's own FAQ puts the total at ten. They run from the Rixos Lounge, with its fireplace and library, and the pool-view Lobby Bar, to the Beach Bar with live music in summer and an Irish-themed sports bar. There's also a Mood Club and a Gazebo Bar, and within the Anjana Spa a Vitamin Bar and a VIP Pool Bar. Troy Bar, by the pool, is reserved for Legendary Suite guests. All the drinks are part of the all-inclusive.
How restaurant booking works
The à la carte reservations are made on the same day rather than in advance, which several guests find frustrating when the slots they want fill early. Length of stay unlocks free à la carte meals: from three nights you get one complimentary dinner at each of the resort's own à la carte restaurants, and from five nights that extends to the à la carte restaurants over at Land of Legends. Turquoise takes walk-ins, so the buffet is the fallback with a hungry toddler and no booking.
Rooms and suites
Every room, suite and villa with its official size, the pools across the resort and the private beach below.
Accommodation runs from a 37 m² Deluxe Room right up to private residences of around 2,000 m². The table below lists every type with its official size, and the guidance after it is which suit a family with a baby or toddler.
| Room, suite or villa | Size | Sleeps and layout |
|---|---|---|
| Deluxe Room, Garden View | 37 m² | Balcony, garden view |
| Deluxe Room, Sea View | 37 m² | Balcony, sea view |
| Family Room | 49 m² | Up to 4, one room, garden view, private balcony (the resort’s own page also calls this the Family Suite) |
| Deluxe Family Room | 74 m² | Up to 4 adults and 2 children, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two balconies |
| Legendary Suite, Garden View | 64 m² | Up to 4, set among the trees |
| Legendary Suite, Swim Up | 64 m² | Up to 4, private terrace with direct access to the waterways |
| Deluxe Suite, Sea View | 73 m² | One double bedroom plus a living area with a sofa bed |
| Superior Suite, Sea View | 94 m² | 4 adults, two bedrooms |
| Queen Suite | 195 m² | Top floor, one bedroom plus a living room, terrace, two WCs |
| Royal Premium Suite | 315 m² | Two bedrooms, a sitting room, terrace and Jacuzzi |
| Club Villa | Not stated | A shared pool between the Club Villas, private sunbathing area, VIP airport transfer |
| Villa Privé | 264 m² | Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private garden and a private heatable outdoor pool |
| Paris Residence | 545 m² indoor | Five bedrooms, a butler’s room, a kitchen, a private pool and a beach lodge, in a 2,130 m² garden |
| Helen Residence | Not stated | Six bedrooms, a glass-walled indoor pool and an outdoor pool |
| Pryamus Residence | About 2,000 m² | The largest villa, part of the Club Privé enclave |
For a family with a baby or toddler, the room that stands out is the Deluxe Family Room at 74 m²: two separate bedrooms, two bathrooms and two balconies, so a baby can nap behind a closed door and the evening bath-and-bottle routine has its own bathroom. The Family Room at 49 m² is smaller and a single open room, which suits a toddler who naps early and sleeps through noise, or a family keeping the cost down. The Legendary Suite Swim Up puts you on the water straight from the terrace, which works well with older children, but as with any swim-up room it means treating the unfenced water edge as a real supervision point with a toddler about. The Superior Suite at 94 m² has two bedrooms and is framed for four adults, so it suits a larger group, grandparents included, more than a couple with one small child.
The villa tier, from Villa Privé up, buys private pools, butler service and VIP transfers, and its privileges run to a holiday assistant, in-room dining, a VIP airport transfer and a private beach pavilion, with the top perks like a departure Meet and Assist and CIP terminal service unlocking on longer stays of seven or ten nights. Paris Residence goes further again: a 24-hour private butler and a private chef, a weekly private pavilion inside Land of Legends for up to six people and a one-off dolphin swim or Mythical Snorkelling experience for up to four. It's a big step up in price, and none of the villa descriptions mention baby-specific kit, so it's about space and privacy rather than being set up for the youngest guests.
Pools and water features
The resort is built around a lot of water. The main outdoor pool is the centrepiece at around 2,900 m² and about 140 cm deep, that depth a 2021 factsheet figure, with a separate children's pool with a slide, 153 m² and about 50 cm deep, shallow enough for young children to stand. There's a heated outdoor pool of around 770 m² that runs through the winter, and inside the Anjana Spa are heated indoor pools: an adult pool of around 415 m² and 140 cm deep, and a smaller children's pool of around 60 m² and 35 cm deep, both sized and measured on that same 2021 factsheet. The Legendary Suites have their own swim-up pool area threaded through the rooms.
For adults wanting a child-free corner, the Anjana Spa runs an outdoor sea-water pool restricted to guests aged 16 and over, around 300 m² and 140 cm deep on that 2021 factsheet, and, like the resort's other heated pool, a winter-season feature rather than open year-round. It's free to use as part of the spa's included facilities. The villa privilege lists badge access to it as a VIP perk, though the resort's own pages name no second, more exclusive sea-water pool, so this most likely refers to the same pool every adult guest can already use, even if neither page states outright that they're one and the same.
Within the Rixy Kids Club there are two more water features: the Rixy Kids' Pool, outdoor and only about 35 cm deep, entered by stepping straight in from the side rather than using steps, with step-free access all around and a lifeguard on duty at all times, and a Splash Park with waterslides, about 50 cm deep, again with step-free access around it and a permanent lifeguard. Wheelchair users have step-free access to the main pool by a hoist, and to the indoor pool by a ramp, hoist and ladder.
The beach
The beach is a 700-metre stretch of private sand with its own pier, open from 1 May each year. It sits just below the resort gardens, about two minutes from the main seafront promenade down a slight ramp. Sunbeds, towels, umbrellas, showers, toilets and food and drink service are all included, and the beach has a walkway, a changing area, showers, equipment hire, a volleyball court and a beach bar, with seating from loungers to cabanas and pods. Beach wheelchairs and a submersible wheelchair are available. A lifeguard is on duty at certain times rather than continuously, so it's worth keeping that in mind with young children in the water.
It's a Blue Flag beach, in a province, Antalya, that led Turkey with 232 Blue Flag awards in 2026. Along this coast the beaches are important loggerhead turtle nesting sites, with seasonal night-time closures on protected stretches roughly between May and September. Club Privé villa guests get their own private beach pavilions, with fruit and a call-button food and drink service.
Babies and toddlers
The Rixy Kids Club and how it's staffed, babysitting, the honest gaps for a baby and everything that fills a family day.
The children's operation is the Rixy Kids Club, open daily from 9am to midnight and spanning ages 0 to 16 across the whole facility. The important distinction for parents is how it's staffed: the structured, supervised activities run for children aged 4 to 12. Younger children, from 0 to 4, have a soft-play area within the same complex, but that space is used under a parent's supervision rather than being staffed, so a baby or toddler isn't left in the club's care. Older children and teenagers are catered for up to 16.
For the 4 to 12s the club runs a full programme: a pool with slides, an art studio, a PlayStation room, painting and face-painting, wood, robotics and kitchen workshops, clay modelling, Lego, slime-making, a mini disco and shows. There's the dedicated children's restaurant, Rixy, with an open buffet lunch. The resort has previously offered bowling as a children's and a resort activity, though it isn't on the current activity list.
Babysitting is offered for an extra charge, and the resort states it specifically for children aged 2 to 4; the rate isn't published, so ask when you book. The Football Academy takes children aged 5 to 15 for daily coaching, with proper sports shoes needed, and there's a children's Tennis Academy.
One thing to know if you're travelling specifically with a baby: the resort doesn't publish a baby-equipment loan scheme, cot, steriliser, bottle warmer, baby bath or potty, on any of its official pages, where several of its Belek neighbours do list one. So confirm a cot and any baby kit directly with the resort before you book rather than assuming it's provided, and pack for the gaps. On top of the all-inclusive rate, the things that cost extra are à la carte dining beyond your free-night allowance, spa treatments, personal training and private sports lessons, room-service items, floodlighting on the tennis courts, babysitting and the guided bike and nature tours.
On resortThings to do
Plenty is included. The Exclusive Sports Club runs a free daily timetable of fitness sessions, from TRX, CrossFit and Kangoo Jumps to yoga, Pilates, meditation, Zumba and aqua boxing, alongside football, volleyball and family tennis matches. Free sports and games cover basketball, table tennis and darts, and the tennis courts are free to use, though floodlighting them in the evening costs extra.
The Anjana Spa is a repeated high point in reviews. Its general facilities are free to use: a Turkish bath, three saunas, a salt room, an ice pool, a steam room, a relaxation area and an indoor pool. Treatments, from hammam rituals and massages to facials, manicures and hairdressing, are charged on top. The gym is included; a personal trainer costs extra. Evenings bring live music, DJ sets, themed nights and piano recitals.
The resort's biggest family draw is off site: free unlimited entry and a free shuttle to the Land of Legends theme and water park, about 6 miles (9 km) away and 10 to 15 minutes by shuttle. The park has an Adventure Land with a Hyper Coaster, an Aqua Land with around 55 water slides, the Tropic Lagoon, and, since 2025, a Nickelodeon Land with PAW Patrol and SpongeBob areas and a 5D cinema, plus an evening show, boat parade and fireworks in season. Under-4s go in free. Be realistic about the age fit for the youngest, though: most of the water slides need a height of 120 cm or more, and parents of three to five-year-olds often report there's little for a true toddler beyond the splash zones. The parts that do work for younger children are the Kids Play and Aqua Tower splash zone, the Masha and the Bear area and the newer Nickelodeon content.
Off resortThe area and days out
Belek sits inside a pine-forest coastal nature reserve, purpose-built as Turkey's golf capital and noticeably quieter than the package towns of Side and Alanya. Belek town centre is about 3 miles (5 km) away, and Antalya city is roughly 28 to 31 miles (45 to 50 km), around 45 to 60 minutes by road.
For days out, Antalya Aquarium, about 45 to 50 minutes away, is the world's longest tunnel aquarium, air-conditioned and pitched at younger children, with an attached Snow World of real snow for a short novelty. Sandland at Lara is a sand-sculpture park, open May to October, with very little shade, so it's best late in the day. Antalya's old town, Kaleiçi, and the free, flat Lower Düden Waterfall with its playground make a gentle city outing. Belek is Turkey's golf capital, with numerous courses in the immediate area.
Loves and gripes
What guests rate and what frustrated them, how it compares, the journey in, the weather, getting around and the scores.
Drawn from many family reviews rather than a stay of our own, here's the consensus on both sides.
What families love
- The food, with an unusual amount of specific dish-level praise for an all-inclusive.
- The staff, singled out repeatedly, including proactively managing a child's nut allergy and sourcing different yoghurt for a fussy toddler.
- Cleanliness and room quality, reflected in a 9.5 Booking.com score for both.
- The Anjana Spa and its hammam.
- Free unlimited Land of Legends access, valued highly by families, some noting they could still go on checkout day.
- Generous, unprompted room upgrades, reported by more than one guest.
Common gripes
- The same-day à la carte booking system, which can make a wanted slot hard to secure.
- The resort's size, which means long walks between some rooms and the restaurants.
- A handful of single-stay 2026 complaints: a family suite feeling dated, late-night construction noise, a change in the entertainment team and the booking app not working.
- No published baby-equipment loan scheme, a real gap for families with a very young baby.
How it compares
Within Belek's luxury family tier, this resort is most often weighed against Maxx Royal, Calista and ELA Excellence. Reviewers describe Rixos's heated pool as larger than Maxx Royal's but slightly less warm. Against Calista, another large five-star resort, opinion gives Rixos a slight edge but comes down to personal taste, with Calista praised for its sunbeds. On the children's clubs, opinion splits: some families find Rixos's on-site provision thinner and more reliant on the Land of Legends shuttle than ELA's, others rate the Rixy Kids Club highly across the ages, so it isn't a settled comparison. The clearest difference is the baby-equipment point: Maxx Royal, ELA Excellence, Lara Barut and Calista all publish a named baby-kit loan scheme on their own sites, and Rixos Premium Belek doesn't, which matters if you're travelling with a very young baby.
From the airportGetting there and when to go
The nearest airport is Antalya (AYT), about 25 miles (40 km) away and roughly 35 to 45 minutes by road. The airport transfer isn't automatically included for standard rooms, so you arrange it directly with the hotel; the villa tiers include a VIP round-trip transfer as a category perk. There's no minimum-stay policy at the resort itself: the three, five, seven and ten-night thresholds that appear on its pages unlock specific perks rather than setting a booking minimum. The resort operates year-round, with dedicated winter packages built around its heated pools and a spa discount.
With young children, June and September are the standout months: warm days, a comfortable sea and lower rainfall than the shoulder months either side. July and August get very hot on this coast, into the mid-30s by day, and Antalya province hit a record 46.1°C in 2025, so plan for shade in the middle of the day and air conditioning at night. October keeps a warm sea but the rain risk rises, and May is pleasant with a still-cool sea, more paddling than swimming. Winter suits a wellness-focused stay around the heated pools and spa rather than the beach.
When to goWeather in Belek
Belek has a hot, dry summer and a mild, much wetter winter. Almost all the rain falls between October and April, while July and August are all but dry, and the resort stays open through the colder months on its heated-pool and spa offering. The table below shows the picture month by month through the main season.
| Month | Daytime high | Overnight low | Rain | Wet days | Sea temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 15.5° | 5.5° | 222 mm | 11 | 19° |
| February | 16.5° | 6.5° | 131 mm | 8 | 17° |
| March | 18.5° | 8° | 94 mm | 6 | 17° |
| April | 22° | 11° | 47 mm | 4 | 18° |
| May | 27° | 16° | 36 mm | 3 | 22° |
| June | 32° | 20° | 7 mm | 1 | 25° |
| July | 35.5° | 23.5° | 2 mm | 0 | 28° |
| August | 35° | 23.5° | 1 mm | 0 | 29° |
| September | 31.5° | 20° | 31 mm | 2 | 29° |
| October | 27.5° | 15.5° | 115 mm | 5 | 26° |
| November | 22° | 10.5° | 107 mm | 6 | 24° |
| December | 17° | 7.5° | 225 mm | 8 | 21° |
Typical monthly averages from weather-station records. Sea temperature is the open-water figure, so a sheltered bay can feel a degree or two warmer. The resort operates year-round, and June and September are the pick for young children.
Winter, December to March, is meaningfully wetter and cooler, with December the wettest month at around 225 mm and mild 15 to 17°C days. That's the season the heated pools and the spa package are pitched at.
Access and practicalitiesGetting around
The resort has eight rooms adapted for disabled guests, all ensuite, with a wheel-in shower with a flip-down seat and grab rails and a right-hand-transfer toilet; the average walk to an adapted room is about five minutes on step-free, lift-served routes, and there are adapted toilets around the resort. For prams and pushchairs there's no specific official statement, but the confirmed lifts and step-free access through the main building and down to the pools and beach mean a pram should manage the core routes. Given the hilly outdoor paths and the one flight of steps, it's worth asking the resort for the most level route to your particular room rather than assuming the whole site is flat.
A few practicalities: check-in is from 2pm and check-out is by noon, with early or late times chargeable and subject to availability. Pets aren't accepted, and smoking is banned in all enclosed areas, including e-cigarettes and shisha. UK passport holders don't need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days in any 180, and your passport needs at least 150 days' validity beyond arrival and a blank page. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advises against travel only to areas near the Syrian border, far from Antalya and Belek, but it's worth checking the latest advice before you go.
What the scores sayRatings and review sentiment
The clearest published score is Booking.com's, where the resort sits at 9.3 out of 10 from 463 scored reviews, with its highest marks for cleanliness and comfort, both 9.5, then staff and facilities at 9.4, location at 9.3 and value for money the lowest of the group at 9.0. The figures on TripAdvisor, Expedia, HolidayCheck and Google were inconsistent between sources and hard to pin down, so we've left them out rather than quote a number that won't hold up, and Booking.com is the score to trust here. The resort is sold in the UK through mainstream operators including TUI, Jet2holidays, loveholidays, Thomas Cook and On the Beach.
Questions
The things families ask most, the official pages worth a bookmark and when this guide was last refreshed.
Is the airport transfer included?
Not for standard rooms. You arrange it directly with the hotel, so treat it as a separate cost and settle it before you travel rather than on arrival. Only the villa tiers include a VIP round-trip transfer. Antalya airport is about 35 to 45 minutes away.
Is there parking, and do we need a hire car?
Parking is free, in a covered car park, with a couple of EV charging points, valet parking and a car wash. You don't need a car for a resort-based stay, since Land of Legends has its own free shuttle, but one helps if you want the day trips towards Antalya.
Does the resort provide a cot and baby equipment?
It isn't published anywhere on the resort's own pages, unlike several nearby Belek resorts that list a baby-kit loan scheme. So don't assume a cot, steriliser or baby bath is provided. Confirm exactly what's available directly with the resort before you book, and pack for the gaps if it can't.
Can we get an evening to ourselves?
Paid babysitting is offered specifically for children aged 2 to 4, booked and priced directly since the rate isn't published. The Rixy Kids Club's staffed sessions start at 4, and the under-4 soft-play area needs a parent, so with a child under two you're planning evenings around bedtime rather than leaving them in the club.
How many bars are there, and are drinks included?
The resort's own materials put the total at ten, though its English and Turkish pages name different ones; counting across both, there are at least nine named bars, a couple of them inside the spa. The useful point is that all the drinks are included, with a bar by the pool, on the beach and in the main building.
Is it open all year, and when is best with young children?
It runs year-round, with winter packages built around the heated pools and spa, though sea swimming is a summer thing on this coast. For a beach-and-pool holiday with little ones, aim for June or September, warm enough to swim but short of the July and August heat.
