Hammamet Yasmine Holidays

Yasmine Hammamet is a purpose-built resort situated just outside Hammamet. Tunisia's newest resort is centred round a stylish marina and offers a fine selection of hotels, boutiques, restaurants and cafes. The golden-sand beach, dotted with sun loungers and umbrellas, is an ideal spot to unwind and soak up the sun. The beach is accompanied by a one-mile long attractive beachfront promenade lined with shops and bars. Water sports are also available.

Visitors can haggle for a bargain at modern medina market, with its wealth of local produce, materials and handicrafts. Families can enjoy fun excursions to Carthage Land, a popular theme park, and Blue Ice, Tunisia's only ice rink. Those in need of serious pampering can visit the thalassotherapy centre. If its history and culture you're after, take a trip to the ancient town of Hammamet to explore its maze of narrow streets, 15th-century architecture, and Roman ruins.

Most of the hotels in Hammamet Yasmine offer their own stretch of sand, along with gardens, restaurants, shops and swimming pools. Evening entertainment is also offered in many of the hotels. Nearby points of interest include: the Roman amphitheatre at El Jem, the holy city of Karouan, and the attractive village of Sidi Bou Said. Those in need of serious excitement can go on safari in the Sahara Desert.
