Hammamet has been one of Tunisia's most popular beach resorts for decades, with a walled medina of whitewashed, bougainvillea-draped houses sitting right beside miles of golf courses, spa hotels and sandy bays. Its mild climate and long beach season, combined with day-trip access to Tunis and Carthage, make it a popular base for both relaxed beach holidays and short cultural add-ons.

Traveler reviews
★★★★★
Stayed in Yasmine Hammamet for a week — huge resort with everything on site, and an easy taxi into the old medina for a change of pace.
Olivia R. · October 2023
★★★★☆
Played golf most mornings and relaxed on the beach in the afternoons. The kasbah in the old town was a nice half-day out.
Pierre L. · May 2024
★★★★☆
Took a day trip to Carthage and Tunis from our hotel — well organised and gave good context to Tunisian history before heading back to the beach.
