The two new restaurants, Elia specialising in Greek cuisine and the Lima Peruvian restaurant, add to the rainbow of international dining options.
Guests can also enjoy a new Spa Suite at Porto Sani, with bespoke face and body treatments a calm foil for a thermal area and ice fountain, and treatments and products from Parisian luxury brand Anne Semonin.
