Tranquil Tunisian hideaways curated by Iberostar

Set along the northeast coast of the island of Djerba, Iberostar Selection Eolia Djerba has been created with peace and tranquillity in mind. Newly refurbished and located on a long curve of pristine beach, the resort is purpose-built for couples or families seeking a less-crowded escape.

Guests can enjoy slow mornings that begin with coffee and breakfast at Elissa Buffet Restaurant, where Mediterranean and Tunisian specialities are served throughout the day. The hotel’s five sparkling pools provide plenty of space to unwind, soak up the sunshine and find seclusion, particularly in the adult-only pool area. Continuing the wellness theme, the spa invites guests to experience a variety of wraps, scrubs and massages, while its renowned Thalasso Centre offers experiences that also revitalise the body, mind and soul. Or, clients can while away their days with a drink at Gaïa Pool Bar, just one of three restaurants and four bars across the resort. And far from being focused only on adults, Iberostar’s Star Camp is set up for kids of all ages, offering programmes and classes of crafts, activities and entertainment for even the littlest of guests.

Iberostar Selection Royal El Mansour

At Iberostar Royal El Mansour, guests can enjoy the modern amenities of an Iberostar stay while feeling immersed in the traditional architecture and culture of Tunisia. Set beside Mahdia’s Old Town, clients have the chance to explore their surroundings or spend their days experiencing everything on offer at the hotel. Suggest they book a Sea-View Room or Suite so they can wake up to azure vistas each morning from their balcony, which are the perfect setting for a coffee or in-room dining.

The authenticity of the resort spills into the spa and traditional hammam, where clients can opt for centuries-old rituals or more-contemporary wellness techniques. Active clients are well catered for too, with professional clay tennis courts, fitness classes and archery sessions. All of this is fuelled by the hotel’s stellar dining scene, which includes a traditional Arabic cafe in which to enjoy mint tea, classic Tunisian cuisine served at Sofra, and snacks and cocktails by the water at Nuba Beach Club.

Iberostar Selection Diar El Andalous

Located on the beaches of Port El Kantaoui, Iberostar Selection Diar El Andalous is the ideal choice for all types of clients, from honeymooners to families or friends looking for short-haul luxury. Close to Sousse and Monastir, the property is surrounded by lush gardens, features multiple pools and celebrates local flavours across its restaurants.

Clients can drift between a trio of sparkling pools or enjoy direct access to the soft, sandy beach, with a diverse choice of food to keep them going at Alhambra Buffet restaurant. Elsewhere, clients who enjoy spending time on the green can take a short trip to the nearby golf course in Port El Kantaoui, while all guests can also enjoy a selection of watersports or visit SPA Sensations for local therapies and relaxation in the sauna. Eight drinking and dining spaces ensure guests’ palates are spoilt for choice, from Turkish coffee at La Chicha Café to classic Italian food.

Iberostar Waves Averroes

Iberostar Waves Averroes is set right on the shores of Hammamet and brings this Tunisian destination to life throughout guests’ stays. As a Waves property, the hotel has a lively feel, which is perfectly suited to younger guests and groups of friends, while still offering all the comfort and amenities Iberostar is known for.

Throughout the resort, palm-lined paths lead to brilliant blue pools and uninterrupted sea views across 30,000sq m of gardens. Clients will have the choice of indoor and outdoor heated pools, including a children’s pool – younger guests can still take advantage of Star Camp activities too. Foodies are also well taken care of across five restaurants and bars – Laurier Buffet cooks up international fare all day long, while guests can try couscous, Tunisian brik (a type of fried savoury pastry) at Tunisian restaurant Olivier.
