Hotels in Hammamet

Hammamet is Tunisia's original resort town, set on the Cap Bon peninsula about an hour southeast of Tunis. Its long, soft-sand beaches, whitewashed medina, and 15th-century kasbah on the seafront have made it one of the country's most popular destinations since the 1960s.

Beyond the main beach strip, the purpose-built Yasmine Hammamet to the south delivers larger all-inclusive resorts, a marina, and the Medina Mediterranea theme zone. The Carthage ruins, the blue-and-white village of Sidi Bou Said, and the Roman amphitheatre at El Jem are within easy reach for day trips.
