El Mangroove

Set on the luxury hotel-dotted Papapago Peninsula, El Mangroove hotel is not only fun and family-friendly but stylish too.

There are two restaurants: Matiss for lunch and Makoko for dinner, which both feature menus created by a Michelin-starred chef. Facilities are equally impressive, with a spa, gym, kids club and an aquatic activities centre.
