German group Maritim Hotelgesellschaft is continuing its overseas expansion with a second hotel in Tunisia – the Maritim Alhambra Thalasspa in Yasmine-Hammamet. Maritim took over operation of the hotel at the start of this year, a few months after the opening of the spectacular 184-room hotel which has its own private beach and is designed in the style of the Alhambra in Granada.
The key feature of the hotel, says Maritim at ITB, will be an exceptional thalasso and spa centre, due to be in operation by 1 April this year. The 3,500 square metre oasis which will be the largest in the region and will be run by French group THALACAP from Montpellier. It offers a wide range of therapies – including traditional Thalassotherapy – 37 treatment chambers, an indoor pool, sauna, Turkish bath, fitness and beauty centre.
Maritim, until recently a major operator in Germany, but with no international portfolio, now has top-class properties in resort destinations such as Mauritius, Tenerife and Malta, as well as hotels in Cuba (where is has three), Bali, Turkey (Belek), Djerba in Tunisia and Riga in Latvia. Maritim says that it is well on the way to establishing its reputation as an international group, and has been well supported in building up its image by its marketing and sales partner, Millennium & Copthorne Hotels, which represents the Maritim worldwide.
