Fancy grabbing a racket and playing a game? At the Iberostar Panorama & Mare hotel, you have two tennis courts, one of which has artificial grass. What’s more, they’re floodlit, just in case the game continues when the sun’s gone down. And if you want to improve your technique, you can also arrange classes. Is football or basketball more your thing? The hotel has a multi-sports court. And what the hotel has to offer does not end there, as you can also play beach volleyball, golf, table tennis and table football.
In a land where visitors have been coming for centuries looking for peace and relaxation, it is no surprise that there is a place where all traces of stress dissolve. This is just one of the wonders that you can experience in a spa session, as well as other massages and beauty treatments that will revitalise you. You can also relax in our covered pool or main pool surrounded by gardens where swimming is a true pleasure.
