Hammamet holidays

Jasmine-scented Hammamet is located on the Cap Bon Peninsula on the Gulf of Hammamet, less than an hour south of the capital Tunis...

Its beaches are typically Mediterranean, although their backdrop is quintessentially North African, with whitewashed villages and sand-coloured castles piercing the blue skies. 

The attractions of this friendly town are certainly enticing. The town is peppered with cafés, shops, art galleries, plus a huge selection of excellent hotels and restaurants. But if all you want to do is chill out on the sands and read a book during Hammamet holidays, then your hotel staff will be on hand to deliver an ice-cold drink and delicious Tunisian snacks. 

When it comes to picking a hotel here, you will be spoilt for choice. There are numerous luxury hotels on the miles-long waterfront, many of which offer a fantastic selection of food as part of their all-inclusive option. And for something a bit different, you might want to try Yasmine Hammamet, a newly developed tourist area on the outskirts of the town that is proving very popular with visitors. Either way, don't miss out on a taste of the real Tunisia by stopping off at one of the local eateries.
