Dwarfing like a royal Turkish palace along the glittering shores of Belek—Regnum The Crown is a utopia of hedonism and millennial chic. Newly unveiled in 2025, it’s a Mediterranean playground where twisting waterslides intertwine with modern waterfront villas and Europe’s only fully-lighted championship golf course. With private butlers, gourmet personal chefs, and VIP helicopter transfers on-hand—it’s no wonder celebrities like Molly-Mae and JLO have graced its palm-lined boulevards. Whether you’re surfing through over 30 dining venues, kicking around on its two FIFA-level football pitches, or indulging in a treatment at its high-tech wellness center—you’ll forget time entirely.
Location
Nestled on Turkey’s stunning Mediterranean coast, Belek is a glittering jewel of Antalya’s coastline—where turquoise waters caress pristine beaches and ancient Roman ruins peek through pine forests. Sitting near the golden beachfront, The Crown offers direct access to Taşlıburun Beach. Just beyond the resort’s gates, you’ll discover the Roman theater of Aspendos, the otherworldly Zeytintaşı Cave (shimmering with rare soda-straw formations), and the iconic Hadrian’s Gate. Meanwhile, the nearby town, Kadriye, hums with life—home to Turkey’s first golf resort and the Land of Legends theme park.
Style and Character
Approaching the grand entrance of The Crown—you’ll swan into its soaring, cathedral-like lobby—where golden, curving dragon-scale walls meet cascading chandeliers that echo the shimmer of the sea, as you’re welcomed with a glass of Möet and a silver tray of chocolate-lacquered strawberries. The resort’s 343 suites and 15 villas are scattered across uber-chic grounds—as bougainvillea climbs stone walls and charming boulevards wind past mini snack cafés, flamingo-pink vintage telephone boxes, and gourmet gelato huts. At night, the hotel glows golden—casting long shadows across gleaming marble colonnades and mirrored infinity pools that catch the stars like sequins.
Rooms and Suites
Each suite is a sanctuary. Ranging from the entry-level 110m² Seascape Suite to the opulent five-bedroom Crown Signature Suite. Its crown jewel? The uber-chic Amber Lagoon Suite. Poised at the edge of a mirror-still lagoon, it winds through a palm-fringed village past tropical banana date trees, all the way to a hidden cave bar (serving fabulous cocktails and indulgent milkshakes). Inside your suite, you’re welcomed by a chic master bedroom—where a cloud-like king bed takes center stage, wrapped in seductive linen drapes that cocoon you at the touch of a button. Beside it, a deep soaking tub sits perfectly positioned next to a flat-screen TV—for the ultimate in lazy luxury.
Descend into the sunken living room, where a complimentary mini-bar (restocked daily) and 24-hour room service set the mood for a cozy night in—Netflix queued up on your 75-inch cinema screen. In the bathroom, however, you can indulge in long, steamy showers under a cascading rainfall shower with Bvlgari amenities. Outside, your private deck hovers just above the lagoon, complete with shaded loungers and a floating spring-bed—ideal for sunrise yoga, moonlit swims, or sipping chilled Moët as dragonflies dance across the water. Bonus? Your own personal golf buggy to whiz around the resort and a dedicated butler to ensure every whim is met—from pillow menus to sunset canapés.
Food and Beverage
Feasting at The Crown is a journey through Anatolia and beyond. Al Waha, one of five ‘Fine Dining’ restaurants, is a Middle Eastern escape serving spiced lamb and sumac-dusted mezze beneath lantern-lit skies. While ALIA beach restaurant offers breezy, bohemian-style breakfasts by the sea—think artisanal simit, local honeycomb, and tangy Ezine cheese. Daphne, however, is its vibrant food hall—inspired by Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, with sizzling gözleme stations, smoky seafood grills, and meze counters. Craving a late-night sweet treat? Head to Paola—a patisserie-style gem where emerald pistachio baklava, jewel-toned macarons, and saffron-infused gelato turn dessert into an edible art form. While you can also sip your way through sixteen stylish bars. The best spot? Its adults-only rooftop bar, Solstice—perched high above the sea with flickering fire pits, plush daybeds, private cabanas, and panoramic views. Sip a chilled raki mojito or a rosemary-infused gin fizz as the sun melts into the Mediterranean.
Spa and Wellness
Far from the bustle of The Crown Spa lies its intimate, island-style sibling—Amber Spa. This serene sanctuary unfurls along winding paths that weave between a traditional Turkish hammam, bubbling whirlpool, steam room, and dry sauna. While little bridges arch over streams, leading to a secluded pool flanked by shaded loungers, where lazy cats stretch out and Turkish tea is served in delicate tulip-shaped glasses. Treatments range from gold-leaf facials to volcanic stone massages. But the standout? Go for the Balinese Sea Dream: a 75-minute ritual inspired by the ancient healing traditions of Bali, with a silky coconut body scrub, nutrient-rich wrap, and a soothing Balinese massage using warm coconut oils ($245 per person). Beyond the spa, sunrise yoga takes place on a floating deck, and sound baths and guided meditations unfold in the Zen Garden—a bamboo enclave with koi ponds and tinkling wind chimes. Fitness lovers? There’s a sleek gym, tennis courts, and adrenaline-fueled water sports from parasailing to jet skiing.
Entertainment and Activities
Days here unfold like a Mediterranean fairytale. The Crown’s sprawling aquapark is a sun-drenched playground of twisting slides, splash zones, and a roaring wave pool. Just beyond the resort gates, the Land of Legends awaits—a nearby fantasy theme park with rollercoasters, aquariums, and a daily dolphin show (with free access and a complimentary shuttle for guests staying at The Crown). Back at the resort, the powdery white sandy beach—lined with designer boutiques and hip beach clubs—buzzes with paddleboarding, tanning beds in vintage-style wooden boats, and lively volleyball matches. Top tip? Opt for one of the Pier Cabanas—fully staffed with a giant cushioned sofa, shaded loungers, and a step ladder dipping straight into the sea (complimentary for villa guests). As evening falls, the energy shifts—Broadway-style shows, poolside DJ sets, and neon-lit games of bowling and arcade racing at the Pixel Game Center. Kids enjoy mini discos while parents sip cocktails at Sunset Happy Hour or take a twilight dip in the rooftop infinity pool.
Kids and Families
Families settle in easily at The Crown, where children aren’t just accommodated—they’re celebrated. Its Crown Kids Club pulses with creativity—think gooey slime-making, art workshops, kids’ gymnastics, and lively Pokémon shows—plus a dedicated cinema, a LEGO playroom, a mini kitchen workshop, and a glittering Princess Spa. Outdoors, kids dash through the splash-filled water park, scramble across the rope bridges of the adventure park, and gather for musical shows at the open-air amphitheatre. Meanwhile, Ali Baba’s Farm offers a hands-on experience—where little ones can hand-feed fluffy goats and cuddle baby bunnies beneath shady olive trees. Teens, however, gravitate to the sleek tech lounge (with gaming pods), the volleyball court, and open-air movie nights under a canopy of stars. Plus, with babysitting services (for children aged 2+), swimming lessons, and a dedicated family concierge offer, parents can unwind while little ones explore.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re sipping Turkish tea on a sunlounger, lapping the waves on a jetski, or drifting through candlelit massage suites—Regnum The Crown is a retreat for dreamers, adrenaline-junkies, and slow-travel seekers.
