Yasmine Hammamet

Why Go

Yasmine Hammamet holidays mean you are a part of Tunisia's up-and-coming new resort, full of modern amenities in the most gorgeous surroundings. It is North Africa's answer to the French Riviera, with a colossal 750-berth marina, casino and a palm-tree lined promenade. It is also well placed for exploring the Cap Bon Peninsula, known as the 'gardens of Tunisia', as well as being close enough to the Sahara to enjoy a desert camel ride.

The new medina in the resort of Yasmine Hammamet has various luxury boutiques, plus cafes and restaurants. It sets itself apart from other purpose-built resorts by hosting a museum and open air theatre. Many of the high-star hotels in the resort have their own swimming pools and evening entertainment agendas. If you want a mix of Tunisian sun, culture, chic cafes and good shopping then holidays to Yasmine Hammamet would be perfect for you.

There are mini-golf and larger golf courses in the resort, plus various centres for beauty treatments for those that prefer spas to sports.

Yasmine Hammamet is just south up the road from the ancient medina town of Hammamet, where you can visit the bazaar, dine in authentic Tunisian restaurants or enjoy a night out. There are other attractions nearby, including the theme park Carthage Land and the ice rink Blue Ice.
