Why couples choose it
A golf and beach wedding in Belek
Cornelia Diamond opened in Belek in 2008 on a 200,000 m² site with its own 27-hole golf course, designed by Nick Faldo. The resort has a 250 m private beach, a 1,150 m² pier with the Sea Bird bar and eleven pools, including lagoon pools beside the Lake Houses.
The hotel says it is happy to organise weddings, and its congress centre lists weddings among its events. The Citrine ballroom is 1,475 m² with an 8 m ceiling and is listed for about 1,150 guests at a banquet, or 1,450 with the foyer added. It divides into three halls for a smaller dinner. Outdoors, the beach lawns, the pier and an open-air amphitheatre for about 200 people give you settings by the sea.
With 611 rooms and the 33 Azure Villas, there is space for your guests to stay together, and several à la carte restaurants, the 5,000 m² Crassula Spa and Cornie Kids World let them make a holiday of the wedding. The resort is about 35 km from Antalya Airport.

A sample wedding day
Your wedding day at Cornelia Diamond
Every wedding we plan is designed around the couple, but a day at Cornelia Diamond could flow like this.
Getting ready
The couple can get ready in a suite or one of the Lake Houses, while guests spend the day on the beach, by the pools or on the golf course.
Ceremony by the sea
If the beach lawns are available for your date, the ceremony can take place there in the late afternoon, when the heat has eased.
Cocktail and portraits
While your guests enjoy a cocktail, you take portraits on the pier and around the lagoon pools in the evening light.
Dinner and dancing
Dinner can be served outdoors in summer or in the Citrine ballroom. The party continues indoors if you want to dance late.
Good to know
Planning tips for a Cornelia Diamond wedding
A wedding at a large resort runs smoothly when a few details are settled early. With Ramarossi, one team looks after them for you:
- Guests who are not staying. All-inclusive resorts may charge a day or event pass for guests from outside the hotel. If some of your guests will stay elsewhere, tell us at the start so we can plan around it.
- Music and timings. Outdoor music may have an end time set by the hotel. Plan the ceremony outside and the party indoors if you want to dance late.
- Guest rooms. Plan your guests' rooms early, especially for a summer date. Our guide to resort room blocks in Antalya explains the options.
- Season. The resort is open all year, so a spring, autumn or winter date is possible, with an indoor hall as an option for the dinner. July and August are hot, and an evening ceremony is more comfortable then.

Is Cornelia De Luxe still a Cornelia hotel?
No. The former Cornelia De Luxe Resort in Belek was taken over by Paloma Group and has traded as Paloma Sencia since February 2025. Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa is the hotel that still uses the Cornelia name, and it is the one this page covers.
Can we get married by the sea at Cornelia Diamond?
The resort has a 250 m private beach with lawns and a 1,150 m² pier, so a ceremony by the sea is an option we look at for your date.
Can we have a legal (civil) wedding at Cornelia Diamond?
In Turkey, a legal marriage is performed by an authorised marriage officer from the local municipality. Couples from abroad usually need passports, birth certificates, a certificate of no impediment from their own country and a health report from a public hospital, with official Turkish translations of foreign documents, and the exact list depends on your nationality. Whether the officer can come to the resort is decided by the municipality, so we check this for your date. Read more about a civil wedding in Antalya. You can also marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony in Antalya, if you prefer.
Where can we hold a welcome dinner or henna night?
The smaller Citrine halls, the à la carte restaurants and the amphitheatre are options to look at for a henna or Mehndi night or a welcome dinner. We plan each event of your wedding week so it has its own setting.
How much does a wedding at Cornelia Diamond cost?
The cost depends on your guest count, date, hotel arrangements and design. After your free consultation you receive one proposal with a clear total, designed around your wedding. For a wider view, read our guide to the cost of a wedding in Turkey.
Can you plan a Persian, Lebanese or Pakistani wedding at Cornelia Diamond?
