TUI adds more concept hotels for summer 2019
Elounda Breeze
TUI has added two new Family Life resorts and three new adults-only Sensimar resorts to its summer 2019 programme.
They bring the number of concept hotels in the TUI UK portfolio to 174 across 48 destinations.
The operator said it will continue to expand its portfolio of own hotels, which achieve higher customer satisfaction levels.
It said the latest additions reflect the demand for multi-generational family holidays and adult-only resorts.
The two new Family Life resorts are in Izmir in Turkey and on the Greek island of Crete.
Ephesus
The 4T+ Family Life Ephesus, Izmir has two pools, two tennis courts, a private sandy beach and unlimited access to a neighbouring waterpark.
The 4T+ TUI Family Life Elounda Breeze in Crete offers a la carte dining, complimentary Wi-Fi and a range of activities from yoga for adults to kids and teen clubs for children.
From next May, TUI will also have new adults-only Sensimar resorts in Majorca and Egypt.
Don Pedro
The 4T+ Sensimar Don Pedro resort in Cala San Vincente, Majorca offers a rooftop pool and bar.
In Eguypt, the 4T Sensimar Makadi Gardens in Hurghada has four swimming pools and offers access to snorkeling or scuba diving in Makadi Bay.

The 5T Sensimar Alaya in Marsa Aslam has swim up rooms, five restaurants and a spa.
TUI UK commercial director Richard Sofer said: "We are passionately committed to inspiring our customers with the best travel experiences around the world and with these exciting new additions to our TUI branded hotel collection we’re able to continue offering customers even more choice and flexibility when it comes to adults only and family holidays.
"Our focus remains on the growth of our concept portfolio in diverse mid-haul destinations that holidaymakers want to visit, like Turkey and Greece."
