Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has marked a new milestone with the soft opening of its marine spa at Sousse in Tunisia making it the only international branded hotel chain in the up-and-coming destination.

Guests can also choose from a vast programme of sports and entertainment which includes recreation programmes and a lifestyle venue with nightclub.
