Hotel Riu Park el Kebir details
“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 El Kebir goes all 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 in the summer 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.
