Regnum Carya Review: Where World Leaders Sleep (2026 Edition)
Editor’s Verdict: “Power & Prestige”
Hosted the G20 Summit. Home to the first “Night Golf” course in Europe. Features a massive heated wave pool for winter. Regnum Carya doesn’t just offer luxury; it offers power. It feels larger, bolder, and more energetic than its competitors.
The Obama Effect: A Fortress of Luxury
When you walk into the lobby, you feel the grandeur. This is the resort chosen to host the world’s most powerful leaders during the G20 Summit. The Crown Villa, where Barack Obama stayed, is a bulletproof palace that you can actually book (if you have the budget).
This legacy translates into service speed. The staff is trained to handle diplomats, so your request for a towel or a cocktail is handled with military precision.
Winter Secret: The Heated Wave Pool
Most hotels have a heated pool. Regnum has a heated Wave Pool.
Located outdoors among the pine trees, the main pool and the wave pool are heated to 28°C (82°F) throughout the winter. It is one of the key reasons why we listed Regnum in our Best Heated Pools Guide.
You can swim from the indoor spa directly to the outdoor pool without ever stepping into the cold air.
Golf & The Land of Legends
⛳ Carya Golf Club (Night Golf)
This is the first 18-hole course in Europe that is fully floodlit. Meaning, you can tee off at 9 PM and play under the stars. A surreal experience for any golfer.
🎢 Unlimited Access to Theme Park
Regnum guests get free, unlimited access and VIP transfer to The Land of Legends theme park. This makes it the #1 choice for families with teenagers.
The Rooms: Size Matters
The standard “Luxury Room” starts at 62 m² (including balcony). That is bigger than most apartments in Istanbul.
- Mirror Suites: Ideal for couples, featuring mirrored interiors and massive dressing rooms.
- Pearl Pool Rooms: Direct swim-up access to a shared private pool.
- Carya Golf Villa: Located directly on the golf course with a private pool.
👍 The Pros
- The best “Winter Sun” facilities in Belek.

👎 The Cons
- The resort is huge; lots of walking required (buggies available).
