Lux Tamassa details
As beachfront hotels go, this one’s a looker – it’s surrounded by tropical gardens and brushed by white sands. A beach bar serves up a Med-inspired menu, while the inside buffet place puts on an international spread, including wood-fired pizza and South-East Asian fare. Out of 4 pools, 2 come with sea views and there’s another in the spa zone. Rooms are all clean lines and bright colours, and LCD TVs and Wi-Fi come as standard. The luxury spa has a menu featuring Island Style massages and Mehndi henna art. Plus, 14 treatment rooms are just for couples.
