Belek Golf Club: Third thoughts

The Clubhouse at Belek Golf Club is the social heart of the Resort and from the opening day will be a well-appointed, 30,000 s.f. building.  As the residential units will be introduced in six phases, rather than a continuous remodel of the initial Clubhouse, GBA chose to introduce a peripheral Village, called the Galleria, which expands to add restaurants and shops as the population of the Resort grows with time.

The Resort side of The Hub coordinates the electric vehicle and waterway transportation which service the entire resort.

Adjacent to The Hub are The Galleria Shops with the Pomegranate Hotel above. The center of The Galleria features some of the largest social spaces for guests. Open-air restaurants and the Shops with converging alleyways provide intimate places for guests to gather.

The Boat Basin, which is  prominently in the center, makes the unique waterway transportation system fun as well as functional. With the perimeter resort’s canal system, guests can access the center plaza by water  thereby contributing to the constant motion and life of the plaza. The plaza is designed as a public square with outdoor café seating, street performers, and a stage venue for larger evening performances and provides for an outdoor living room experience in which resort guests are invited and encouraged to participate in the ‘social theatre’ of the resort.

To bring the feel of Turkey to international visitors, The Galleria Shops provide a sense of discovery and adventure with their narrow streets and winding pathways. This is where you will find boutique shops for  fabrics, artwork, Turkish coffees and cakes, street performers, and a stage venue for larger evening performances.

The Galleria Village is composed of small individual buildings on the perimeter of a circular arcade that encloses the central plaza.  This arrangement integrates the buildings with their surroundings to support the street as a place for pedestrians and provide users with a sense of discovery.

With the combination of retail on the first floor with guest rooms above, a mixed-use density typical of a European village is created.  The buildings’ use of overhangs, balconies, offsets, and fountains create interesting spaces for guest to explore, sit, and relax with food and beverage.  The Galleria Village provides a full range of services within walking distance of the residences, such as deli’s, bakeries, neighborhood grocery, coffee and tea house, florist, wine and spirits, featured artists’ studios and other diverse retail.
