Korineum Golf & Beach Resort sits between the Mediterranean and the Beşparmak mountain range near Esentepe, offering a peaceful base for a golf holiday in northern Cyprus. Surrounded by pine, olive and carob trees, the resort feels deliberately secluded, with its accommodation, championship golf course and leisure facilities gathered together in a setting designed primarily around relaxation and golf.

The boutique hotel has 86 rooms and suites, ranging from 31-square-metre Residence Rooms to spacious 67-square-metre Junior Suites. Depending on room category, guests can enjoy mountain, golf course or Mediterranean views, with many rooms also featuring balconies. The accommodation sits among the pine trees but remains within an easy walk of the clubhouse, swimming pool and golf facilities.

Away from the fairways, guests have plenty of ways to unwind. Korineum has an outdoor swimming pool, four clay tennis courts and a boutique spa with a sauna, relaxation areas and a selection of treatments including a particularly appropriate post-round sports massage. Its 70-metre private beach is 1.5 km from the main building and combines sand, grass and a pier, with a complimentary shuttle running for hotel guests.

Dining is spread across several venues. Clubbers Lounge serves casual food throughout the day, The Valley offers an à la carte menu, while Carob Island provides breakfast and evening buffets. Seasonal pool and beach bars add relaxed options during warmer months.

Golf is naturally the centrepiece, with the resort’s 18-hole course directly on site. Recent 2026 guests particularly praise the spacious rooms, friendly staff, golf facilities and mountain-and-sea setting, although Korineum’s secluded location makes it better suited to golfers wanting a resort-based break than those seeking nightlife every evening. Kyrenia can still be reached for its harbour, restaurants and historic centre when a change of scenery is wanted.
