The Turkish Airlines World Golf Final – Where did the players Stay?

kempinkski-dome-hotel-turkeyEight of the world’s best players have been enjoying the sunshine in Turkey this week at the Turkish Airlines Word Golf Finals, being played at Antalya Golf Club which is home to two top class golf courses, the Pasha and Sultan Courses. The world of golf was waiting for a McIlroy vs. Woods final but it was two Englishmen, Justin Rose and Lee Westwood who made it to the last round with Rose just edging out Westy by a shot in the final.

The golf on show was top class with scores of -10, -9 & -8 thrown into the mix and the Sultan Course looked immaculate but where were the players staying? Well our man on the inside did some detective work and found out that the amazing Kempinski The Dome Hotel was the base for the world’s best during their stay in Turkey. Let’s face it, if it is good enough for the cream of the golfing crop, it is certainly good enough for us weekend warriors and as such would surely make a great base for a Turkish Golf Holiday.

Antalya Golf Club, home to two outstanding golf courses, is a truly stunning place to play golf. The quality of the Sultan Course in particular was recently highlighted by the hosting of the Turkish Airlines World Golf Finals, won by Justin Rose.


 

Kempinski The Dome is arguably the finest hotel in all of Belek, which is quite a claim, as the resort town is home to 32 four or five star establishments. Not content with just the five star rating, The Dome has gone above and beyond and is best classed as 5* deluxe…it is truly spectacular!

The Kempinski The Dome’s lobby gives you an immediate taste of the amazing architecture on display throughout the hotel.


 

The architecture and design of the hotel are heavily influenced by the presence of the Seljuks, whose 12th century empire has left a lasting legacy on the Belek region. Just walking around the building is a fascinating experience! As well as playing claim to being the finest hotel in Turkey, The Dome is also located in one of Belek’s most charming corners, and boasts 157 bedrooms and 18 private villas, all featuring marble bathrooms and countless other five star amenities. The hotel’s enviable location means it is also within driving distance of the airport and Antalya City Centre, allowing guests to leave the comfort of the hotel and explore the local cultural attractions as well as cutting down on travel time to and from the airport at the start and finish of your Turkey Golf Holiday.

All accommodations at The Dome are well furbished and stylishly designed to ensure maximum comfort throughout your stay.


 

The Kempinski Hotel The Dome boasts considerable leisure facilities including huge outdoor swimming pools, jacuzzis, saunas and a well-equipped gym. In addition, the resort is home to one of Turkey’s largest Spa and Thalasso Therapy centres, purpose built to ensure complete relaxation and revitalization. There are tennis courts, water sports at the beach, and a great kids club, making this the perfect family destination. Beach lovers will also be in heaven here as idyllic, sandy beaches lie in wait on the resort’s edge.

The Spa at The Kempinski is a great place to reinvigorate your senses before the evening’s festivities.


 

As you would expect of a hotel with such a reputation for both quality and quantity, there are no less than six restaurants at The Dome; our favourite is the Selçuk, whose regional cuisine shows the local flair and tradition and gives you a top class taste of Turkey. As with many places in Turkey and Belek in particular, The Dome caters well for golfers so there plenty of places for them to relax after a long day on the fairways at Antalya Golf Club. The aforementioned spa is a great place to rid your body of the aches and pains picked up on the course and with three bars in the hotel, including the Putters Bar which is dedicated to the needs of golfers in particular, you are never too far away from a cold beer or two!
