Accommodation, rates, airfares and packages Accommodation in the South at Tamassa hotel A spacious 4-star hotel that sets out to provide a contemporary setting that likes to be different. All the rooms, housed in a set of villas, face the sea. They are arranged in three arcs, two around large swimming pools with a beach and the third on the seafront. All the common areas, on the other hand, are grouped together in village style, with a view of the sea to one side and on the other sugarcane fields running all the way to the foothills of the mountains. It’s all quite magical - a fabulous shoreline, lush greenery, rare tree specimens, flowering shrubs, plants and turquoise waters. Tamassa, Naïade Resorts’ latest creation is a happy fusion of the contemporary and the traditional!
