The United Nations Climate Change Conference COP31 takes place in Antalya from 9 to 20 November 2026. The main sessions will be held at the EXPO 2016 Antalya site, while the World Leaders' Summit, attended by heads of state and government, is scheduled for 11–12 November. Tens of thousands of delegates, journalists and business people are expected in Antalya for the conference.

For anyone looking for accommodation during COP31 Antalya, Belek stands out thanks to its hotel capacity, golf courses and meeting infrastructure. In this guide we bring together everything you need to know when planning your stay in Belek for COP31.

Why Belek Is the Right Base for COP31 Participants

Belek has hosted international congresses, sports training camps and golf tournaments for many years. That experience brings the kind of organisation a large delegation needs: most hotels are used to working with big groups and have their own meeting facilities.

The main reasons Belek appeals to COP31 participants:

• Close to the summit venue: Belek lies east of Antalya Airport, on the same route as the EXPO site. As part of the summit preparations, the 38-kilometre Belek Tourism Road has been rebuilt.
• Everything in one area: Hotels, meeting rooms, golf courses and restaurants are only minutes apart.
• November weather: The mild Mediterranean climate makes it possible to spend time outdoors between sessions.
• High-level hospitality: Five-star hotels in Belek and Kundu will host heads of state and senior delegations during the summit.

Belek's Leading Congress and Resort Hotels

Belek has more than 50 properties, most of them five-star resorts. When choosing a hotel for the summit period, a few questions help: Do you need a meeting room or a space for bilateral talks? Will your whole team stay at the same hotel? Outside the sessions, is your priority golf, spa or gastronomy?

Meeting room capacity and technical equipment vary from hotel to hotel, so we recommend contacting the hotel directly for exact details. You can find a detailed overview of the region's congress and meeting infrastructure on our MICE in Belek page.

Accommodation Right Next to the Golf Courses

Belek is Türkiye's golf capital. Many of the region's hotels are just a few minutes from a golf course, and some sit right beside one, so a short round or an hour on the driving range fits easily into a busy summit day.

You can see all of Belek's golf courses on our Belek golf clubs and courses page.

Spa, Wellness and Gastronomy Perks

During a twelve-day summit, downtime matters as much as the sessions. Most resort hotels in Belek have a spa, a Turkish bath, an indoor pool and a fitness area. You can find all spa and wellness options in the region on our Spa and wellness in Belek page.

On the gastronomy side, hotels offer à la carte restaurants alongside their buffets. If you would like to explore Mediterranean cuisine and Antalya's local flavours beyond your hotel, our Belek gastronomy guide is a good place to start.

Getting to Antalya EXPO Center from Belek

The main COP31 sessions will be held at the EXPO 2016 Antalya site. Here is what you need to know about getting between Belek's hotels and the venue:

• By road: Ahead of the summit, the 38-kilometre Belek Tourism Road was completed, the region's main artery was widened to dual two-lane traffic, and the link roads connecting it to the hotels were renewed.
• Airport transfers: We recommend arranging your transfer from Antalya Airport to Belek in advance with your hotel or your organising team.
• Official transport arrangements: Shuttle and security arrangements for delegates are announced by the conference organisers.

On summit days, especially during the World Leaders' Summit on 11–12 November, temporary traffic measures may apply on some roads for security reasons. We recommend setting off early for morning sessions.

Booking and Planning Tips for COP31

• Book early: Reserve as soon as your dates are confirmed. The days of the World Leaders' Summit may be particularly busy.
• Keep your delegation together: Staying at a single hotel makes transport and meeting logistics simpler.
• Check cancellation terms: Choose flexible cancellation options in case your schedule changes.
• Plan for after the summit: Stay a few extra days to explore Belek's nature, beaches and the ancient cities nearby.
