Our Experience at the exceptional Gloria Resorts on Turkey's stunning Mediterranean coast.

Our Just Resorts Experts have once again been exploring the finest luxury escapes, and this time their journey took them to the exceptional five-star, all-inclusive Gloria Resorts on Turkey’s stunning Mediterranean coast.

Vikki, our Resort Expert shares her experience:

“During our 3 night stay at Gloria Serenity Resort, the flagship of the Gloria collection, we enjoyed an immersive introduction to world-class hospitality, exceptional cuisine, and absolute luxury.

Travelling with two colleagues, our journey began on Monday morning at Manchester airport, followed by a 4.5 hour flight into Antalya airport. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by our private driver and escorted to a luxury minibus complete with refreshing welcome drinks and chilled hand towels - a wonderful start to our trip. After a smooth 30 minute journey, we arrived to a very warm welcome and a glass of perfectly chilled champagne, accompanied by an array of beautifully presented sweet treats!

We were then shown to our Superior Laguna Rooms, tastefully refurbished with direct access to the pool and designed to deliver both comfort and sophistication. After settling in, we met for dinner in the buffet restaurant, where the sheer variety and quality of dishes truly impressed. From freshly prepared international cuisine to an indulgent dessert selection—and an outstanding choice of premium wines and champagnes—we enjoyed trying a bit of everything and the dining experience exceeded expectations at every turn.

Over the next two days, we toured all three Gloria properties: Gloria Serenity, Gloria Golf and Gloria Verde. Each resort enjoys a prime beachfront setting and beautifully maintained gardens, yet each carries its own distinctive style and appeal. Accommodation options range from elegant rooms to breathtaking private villas complete with pools, personal butler service, and dedicated golf buggies.

With a daytime temperature of around 22-24 degrees, we embraced the warm winter sunshine, enjoyed al fresco lunches, and even found time to relax for an hour by the heated swimming pool! Perfect for winter sun relaxation or playing sport.

Evenings were spent dining in the à la carte restaurants, where impeccable service and exceptional cuisine continued to elevate the experience. Families will also appreciate the generous buffet offerings, dedicated kids’ clubs, water parks, and outstanding entertainment, plus irresistible patisseries and ice-cream parlours, all included within the all-inclusive concept.

As an avid golfer, the highlight for me was undoubtedly the Gloria Golf Club. The championship-level course, state-of-the-art training facilities, and immaculate practice areas were among the most impressive I have encountered. A delicious lunch overlooking the greens, included within the green fee, added an extra touch of luxury. Continuing the sporting theme, guests can also enjoy tennis, padel, a fully equipped gymnasium with the latest equipment, an underground nightclub, bowling green and much more…

Sadly after 3 unforgettable nights we departed back to Manchester. Antalya Airport offered a smooth departure, with ample dining and shopping options to enjoy before boarding.

We are delighted to bring back firsthand knowledge of these outstanding, all-inclusive five-star resorts, each offering exceptional quality, superb facilities, and an unforgettable holiday experience tailored to a range of budgets and preferences."
