How far is Belek from Antalya Airport?
Belek is about 35 km from Antalya Airport (AYT), mainly via the D400. In light traffic that's roughly 35–45 minutes; in peak summer traffic it can stretch to around an hour. The drive itself is short — the part that catches travellers out is that Belek isn't one point on the map. Its golf resorts and all-inclusive hotels are spread along a long strip of coastline, so "Belek" can mean a 10-minute drive from the highway exit, or closer to 30.
Your options
The usual choices apply — taxi, resort shuttle, rental car, or private transfer — but Belek's spread-out geography affects each one differently.
| Option | Typical price | Time | Door-to-door? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metered taxi | €45–70, variable | 35–60 min | Yes |
| Resort / tour shuttle | Often bundled in package price | 60–120 min, multiple stops | Eventually — after other hotels |
| Rental car | €25–45/day + fuel | 35–45 min | Yes, if you're comfortable driving |
| Private transfer | Fixed price, agreed upfront | 35–45 min | Yes, straight to your hotel |
Resort or tour operator shuttle
If your stay is part of a package, a shuttle may already be included — but it's rarely a straight line to your hotel. Because Belek's resorts sit along such a long stretch of coast, a shared shuttle typically drops off at several hotels in turn, so yours might be the first stop or the last. After a long flight, that difference is either nothing or an extra hour.
Metered taxi and rental car
Both work well enough for a single hotel with no stops — the meter or the rental clock just runs a little longer if your resort sits at the far end of the strip rather than near the highway exit. The trade-off is the same as anywhere else: a taxi's price isn't fixed until you arrive, and a rental car means navigating unfamiliar roads straight off a flight, plus a taxi or transfer to the rental desk either way.

On a route like Side or Alanya, most travellers are headed to roughly the same stretch of town. In Belek, "close to the highway" and "far end of the resort strip" can be a 20-minute difference — which matters a lot if your transfer makes stops along the way. A private transfer goes straight to your hotel, in the order that suits you, not the order that suits the shuttle route. If you're travelling with golf clubs, that also means one continuous ride rather than clubs sitting in a shuttle's luggage hold while it works through three other hotel drop-offs first.
Practical tips for the Belek transfer
- Golf clubs count as extra luggage — mention them when booking so the right vehicle, with the right boot space, is waiting for you.
- If your package includes a shuttle, ask in advance roughly where your hotel falls on the route — it's the easiest way to know whether to expect 40 minutes or closer to two hours.
- Travelling as a golf group of 7 or more? A minibus keeps everyone and all the equipment together in one vehicle.
- Book your return transfer at the same time, especially for early tee times or early flights home.
