The Kanta Resort consists of the recently refurbished (2010/2011) Kanta Hotel and Kanta Residence and offers a wide range of facilities combined with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The palm-fringed terraces are perfect for lazy days by the attractive pools and the great cuisine makes this hotel an excellent choice.
Why choose Kanta Resort
Located in the popular holiday resort of Port el Kantaoui, Kanta Resort is a favourite with British holidaymakers, and has been for many years. Ideal for couples and families, this modern hotel is set in mature and beautiful gardens that are home to thousands of exotic flowers, palms and olive trees. Ideally located, the hotel is within easy walking distance of the private beach, the resort centre, the gorgeous marina and the Kantaoui golf course. On arrival, guests receive a warm welcome and the friendly atmosphere makes them want to return year after year.
Kanta Resort prides itself on its great facilities, offering residents the choice of an action
packed stay or a relaxing retreat. Hidden away in the garden, you'll find two large swimming
pools that are ideal for a leisurely dip, and if you need more pampering then why not stop by
the hotel’s wellness centre, where you can enjoy a sizzling sauna. For those of you that need
to keep busy, there's also an entertainment team at the hotel that organises regular aerobic
sessions, sport competitions, water polo and bowls throughout the day, keeping both adults and
children occupied.
The hotel's fabulous location also allows you to sample the local culture and sights without
having to travel too far. Take a gentle stroll from the hotel to the water front of the golf
course and you'll find the hotel's private beach. Covered with straw parasols and sun beds,
there is ample room to laze the day away, soaking up the tropical rays. There is also a
complimentary tuk-tuk shuttle service to the main beach beach, where you'll find a water-sports
centre. Here, the more adventurous visitors can hire windsurfing boards, jet skis and other
water-sports equipment.
Kanta Resort has two restaurants – one buffet and one a la carte - that both serve delicious
food. The restaurants hold regular themed evenings for residents to enjoy. Outside the
hotel you’ll find a huge amount of restaurants in the resort centre of Port el Kantaoui, as
well as some chic little eateries on the Marina where you can experience fine dining. For other
evening entertainment, the hotel hosts live music performed in the lobby or by the pool and has
its very own Irish-themed bar. Outside the hotel in the resort centre, there’s a huge selection
of bars and clubs that come to life after dark.
