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 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.
