TUI’s global leisure hotel brand, TUI BLUE, has added five hotels in
some of the UK’s favourite short, mid and long-haul destinations this summer.
As well as the new TUI BLUE Victoria in Menorca, TUI BLUE hotels will be
joining the brand portfolio in Hurghada, Egypt; Ayia Napa, Cyprus; Cala Bona,
Majorca; and Thailand.
The adults only 4+star TUI BLUE Victoria Menorca will
be opening its doors on 1st May. With a peaceful plot just a few steps away
from the seafront in Santo Tomas, a small, laid-back town on Menorca’s south
coast, this hotel allows holidaymakers to swap between pool and beach with
ease. It has all the hallmarks of a TUI BLUE hotel, from a luxurious BLUE® Spa
to world-class fitness classes and yoga in the BLUEf!t® offering, to the
personal advice and insights of TUI BLUE Guides with insider local knowledge,
design touches inspired by the region and authentic, fresh locally sourced food
and drink. There are two outdoor pools to choose from, and restaurant-wise,
guests will have the choice of a buffet and an à la carte option. Plus, there’s
a handy snack bar and a trio of bars for drinks. There are plenty of room types
to choose from too, including suites with private pools.
North Africa destinations have gone from strength to strength for TUI’s
UK customers, with 80,000 additional seats and the new destination of Marsa
Alam in Egypt added for winter. Capitalising on the huge demand across the
year, TUI BLUE has added the 5T TUI BLUE Crystal Bay to
the line-up in Hurghada. Also opening on 1st May, its modern architecture is
chic with natural beauty and the sumptuous gardens are stunning. Sitting in a
prime location on a private beach next to the Red Sea, making it a perfect
location for scuba diving, all the usual top notch TUI BLUE facilities are
available. It’s also a short hop away from both the historic old town and
Sakalla, the frenetic and fast-paced town centre.
Two more additional Mediterranean hotels – the 4T TUI BLUE Levante, Majorca and
the 4T TUI BLUE Atlantica Sungarden
Park, Cyprus will be open even earlier, ready for Easter
guests. The adults only TUI BLUE Levante, is steps away from Cala Bona’s bars
and restaurants and is well positioned for seafront strolls to Cala Millor. The
sleek TUI BLUE Atlantica Sungarden Park is near the seafront, just 15 minutes
walk from the famous Nissi Beach, and near the centre of buzzy Aiya Napa. The
resort’s pool is the centre of attention as it comes with a string of sun
loungers, a separate children’s section and widescreen sea views. Kids and
adults alike will love the new waterpark which is kitted out with a lazy river
and a couple of slides.
Further afield, TUI BLUE The Passage, becomes the third TUI BLUE hotel
in Thailand. Due to open this summer it’s in an attractive beach
location in the northwest of Koh Samui. The resort is designed in a
boutique hotel style with 50 villas in total. A perfect natural hideaway for
both honeymooners and families alike, and just 30 minutes from Samui
International Airport, the resort overlooks a national marine park with nearby
snorkeling, kayaking, beach biking and hiking on offer.
With nearly 100 TUI BLUE hotels internationally, the addition of these
five resorts for Summer 2023 is part of an ambitious growth plan for TUI’s
global hotel brand, with plans for new openings across four continents in
exciting destinations including Asia, the Caribbean and West Africa
planned over the next two years.
