Medina Belisaire and Thalasso

The Medina Belisaire and Thalasso pairs stylish good looks with a brilliant setting on Hammamet’s waterfront. Interiors-wise, expect sleek, traditionally North African influences, with dark woods, sweeping archways and tribal-feel artworks in public spaces. The whitewashed high-rise has bagged a fabulous location close to a private stretch of sandy beach, and there’s a mini-bus that’ll whisk you to the shore and the bubbly harbourfront nearby.

In terms of facilities, you’ve got plenty to choose from here. Palm-freckled gardens give way to two swimming pools outside, with loungers and parasols edging the water. Plus there’s a huge spa with all the trimmings for R&R inside. If you’re in the mood for something a little more active, you can take advantage of things like archery, minigolf and tennis, or head down to the seafront to try out watersports like kayaking and parasailing.
