Hotel Riu Park El Kebir tttt
“Pulled right up close to the beach, this hotel is the perfect combination of laid-back and lively.”
Rising from the shoreline a couple of kilometres from
Hammamet, this hotel does ‘beachside’ with aplomb. A skip
past the pool, a hop across the palm-planted lawns and
you’re on the sands.
The pool has a grandstand spot as well. Surrounded by
terraces dotted with sunloungers and tent-shaped parasols,
it seems to almost dissolve into the sea itself. And rustling
eucalyptus trees complete the picture.
Inside, the Riu Park goes all for out for a modern take on
Tunisian design. The lobby is lined with floor-to-ceiling
windows, so one of the first things you see is the sea.
Otherwise, it’s all low Moorish archways, wall lanterns and
gleaming marble centred round an extravagant gold
sculpture of palms.
In terms of food, there’s plenty of choice. The buffets
feature everything from local flavours to international
favourites, with many dishes cooked for you on-the-spot.
Or reserve a table at the à la carte Granada, where the
spotlight falls entirely on Tunisian cooking.
Rounding off everything, you’ve got an indoor pool and
thalassotherapy-themed spa. This blue-tiled oasis has
massage and body treatments and even a saltwater pool for
when you want some preening and pampering.
