Hammamet Holidays

Hammamet Holidays – Lively Tunisian beach resort favourite
Breaks in Hammamet are a long-established favourite: a popular Tunisia beach resort on the north-east coast, 60 miles north of Monastir airport. Getaways here feature some of the best-known beaches in Tunisia: a large lively fun resort with plenty of greenery, which was something of a Tunisian St Tropez in the 1920’s. The resort attracts a cosmopolitan mix of nationalities and age groups. Winter here is popular with older visitors. Hammamet offers a considerably larger choice of shops, boutiques, cafes, ice cream parlours, bars and restaurants than other Tunisia resorts. Restaurants line the tree-lined promenade. The nightlife also has more to offer, with plenty to supplement local hotel entertainment, including open-air nightclubs. Golf holidays in the area are popular, with 2 courses near the resort. Hammamet activities could also include watersports, tennis, horse riding camel rides and the funfair.

Hammamet Holidays – Miles of soft pale sand
Hammamet has a reputation for modern, comfortable, upmarket seafront hotels with beautiful gardens, excellent facilities, restaurants and plenty of activities, excursions and in-house entertainment. Most hotels in the area have their own private section of beach, making Hammamet ideal for undisturbed relaxation, sunbathing and safe swimming. 10 miles of clean sandy beaches extend in both directions from the medina.

Holidays in Hammamet – Explore the exotic  medina
Hammamet offers a taste of authentic Tunisian street life in the narrow streets of the walled medina, a splendid place to pick up jewellery, copperware, ceramics, pottery and carpets. The old town adds an exotic touch to Hammamet holidays with its hilltop fortress, Kasbah, mosque, Arab baths, craftsmen’s shops and colourful fishing boats. Popular excursions include Bedouin feasts, the Roman ruins at Dougga, the picturesque village of Sidi Bou Said, the amazing Roman amphitheatre at El Jem and the holy city of Kairouan. A highlight of many breaks here is an exciting Sahara desert safari.
