With the TUI Suneo Supetar, the TUI Group is expanding its portfolio of the budget hotel brand in Croatia. To this end, the existing hotel was extensively renovated and expanded by a beach bar. In the main restaurant, the WorldCuisine concept awaits guests with dishes from all over the world. The hotel on the island of Brac has 184 rooms and can be booked by guests from all TUI markets. The TUI Suneo Supetar has also been launched in the brand's new design, which will also be implemented in the existing hotels in future. TUI Suneo stands for good value for money and offers comfortable rooms in a central location. In cooperation with international hotel partners, TUI will continue to expand this offer in a cost-efficient way and attract new customers, such as the younger “Generation Y”.

On 15 July 2020 the newly built Robinson Club Ierapetra on the south coast of Crete also opened its doors for the first time. Labelled as 'For All', the club targets couples, families or single travellers and has a 2km long beach of fine, black pebbles. The design of the rooms and restaurants reflects the Minoan culture of the island. The Robinson Club Ierapetra is already the third resort of the brand in Greece.

Due to the current situation, the hotels will initially welcome local guests from Asia and Africa.
