Just minutes from Monastir airport, the Royal Thalassa displays refined elegance along a magnificent stretch of coastline. This 5-star establishment breathes calm: lush vegetation frames the pathways, terraces open onto the Mediterranean, and salty air welcomes you from the moment you arrive. It's the perfect address for those dreaming of combining absolute relaxation with varied activities, never leaving the property.

Arrival

Shared transfers from the airport drop you directly at reception, where French-speaking staff greet you warmly. Your standard room, approximately 30 m², awaits from 14h00 onwards. All rooms feature a terrace, air conditioning (June-September), heating (November-March), satellite television, a mini-fridge stocked with complimentary water daily, and a bathroom with bathtub. WiFi works throughout the hotel. You can upgrade to a sea-view room for an additional charge. Upon arrival, a briefing organized by our French-speaking representative introduces you to hotel operations and nearby activities, highly recommended for starting your stay smoothly.

Dining, all included

The all-inclusive formula opens three restaurants: first, Chef's Market, the main restaurant offering hot and cold buffets at all three daily services (breakfast 7am-10am, lunch 12:30pm-2:30pm, dinner 6:30pm-9:30pm). Local alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are served by the glass from 8am to midnight. Two à la carte restaurants with supplementary charges complete the offering: La Voile, with feet in the sand and Mediterranean cuisine (open June-September), and Mona offering dining alternatives at lunch (November-May) and dinner times. Three bars plus a Moorish café (the latter with supplement) round out your relaxation options. Note: imported spirits, fresh juices, and beverages in cans and bottles are not included. We recommend verifying the all-inclusive details directly with Royal Thalassa, as inclusions may vary by season and room type.

Days by the water

Royal Thalassa boasts two pools including one heated indoor pool (November-March), a children's pool, a hot tub, and direct access to its private beach. Game enthusiasts can enjoy two tennis courts, table tennis, mini-golf, or pétanque. From May to October, windsurfing, canoe-kayaking, and pedal boats are available at no charge. Motorized water sports carry supplementary fees. The major highlight: the Royal Thalasso & Spa center, a genuine wellness temple spanning 16,000 m². Three premium French brands operate here, offering sauna, hammam, fitness room, massages, and an extensive range of treatments (all supplementary). Pre-booked cures available for November-March (Calm and Relaxation Cure: 70 euros/day for four treatments including marine pathway, hammam, 20-minute relaxation bath, and 25-minute back massage). A mini-club welcomes children ages 4-10 (10am-12:30pm and 3pm-5pm). Nearby, quad biking, horseback riding, golf, and catamaran also compete for your afternoons.

Evening vibes

Rendez-vous Bar opens from 8am and closes at midnight, while Bar Piscine (May-October, 10am-midnight) and Bar Plage (June-October, 10am-6pm) animate their respective settings. The atmosphere remains relaxed and convivial, with no on-site nightclub but one accessible nearby for those seeking late-night dancing. Evenings, beverages flow until midnight, and the dinner terrace progressively becomes the social gathering point.
