Modern resort on the Tunisian coast
Just 10km down the coast from the ancient port town of Hammamet lies the seafront resort of Yasmine Hammamet, which offers a sharp contrast with its distinctly contemporary vibe.
The star attraction here is the Blue Flag beach, whose soft, golden sand stretches for several kilometres along the Mediterranean coast, lined with dozens of cafes, bars and restaurants. As well as being a delightful place to unwind and soak up the sun, there are also ample water sports on offer, including water skiing, jet skiing and windsurfing.
Elsewhere, you’ll find the bustling marina, the modern medina and the main promenade, featuring an abundance of places to eat, drink and shop, along with a superb choice of hotels for every taste.
If you’re keen to get a deeper feel for the area’s cultural heritage, meanwhile, Hammamet is well worth a trip up the road.
