Location

Set just steps from the golden sands of Yasmine Hammamet beach and overlooking the marina, this hotel places you within easy reach of the old town’s winding streets and local markets.

With the city’s top attractions on the doorstep, guests can balance time at the pool with cultural exploration.

A fully equipped fitness studio and covered relaxation lounge complete the on-site offerings for those seeking both activity and rest.
