Bungalows in Algeria: seaside holiday complexes from Skikda to Aïn Témouchent

Every spring, Algerian families planning the summer start typing "bungalow Tipaza", "bungalow Béjaïa" or "tourist complex Aïn Témouchent". A bungalow has loyal fans: a place of your own, room for the children, and the beach or the pool a short walk away. Below, from east to west, are the holiday complexes we offer whose accommodation is confirmed by at least two public sources, followed by the questions worth asking before you book.

Complex, village, bungalow: what do the words mean?

In Algeria, a tourist complex (also called a tourist village) is a seaside holiday site with several kinds of accommodation: hotel rooms, apartments and bungalows. A bungalow is a small self-contained unit rented as a whole, for a family or a group of friends, who share the complex's facilities. Those facilities vary from one site to the next (private beach, pools, restaurant, summer entertainment), and so do the board options: room only, breakfast or half board. Always read the details of the offer before booking.

Skikda: Meddouda El Djamil, in Filfila

In Filfila, the seaside area east of Skikda, the [Meddouda El Djamil hotel](/en/hotel/meddouda-el-djamil) combines a hotel with a pool and family bungalows. The beach is not right outside the bungalows, so ask the hotel how to get there. Also in Filfila, [Rusica Park](/en/hotel/rusica-village-aquapark) rents apartments and villas and has its own aquapark.

Béjaïa: Club Alloui, in Tichy

Boumerdès: Les Rochers de la Mer

East of Algiers, the [Les Rochers de la Mer complex](/en/hotel/complexe-les-rochers-de-la-mer), which many people know as the "Rochers de la Mer family camp", brings together bungalows, a pool, a restaurant and a private beach on the Boumerdès coast. It is designed with families in mind.

Tipaza: the CET tourist complex

On the eastern edge of Tipaza, along the sea, the [CET tourist complex](/en/hotel/complexe-touristique-cet), also known as "Tipasa Village", was built more than half a century ago and has since been renovated. It rents bungalows and apartments, with a sandy beach and restaurants, close to the Roman ruins of Tipasa. For a change of beach during your stay, see our Chenoua beach guide.

Mostaganem: the bungalows of Les Sablettes

At Les Sablettes, in the municipality of Mazagran just south of Mostaganem, two addresses share the family crowd:

• [Costa Mimosa Bungalows](/en/hotel/costa-mimosa-bungalows), the bungalows of the Costa Mimosa Hotel & Bungalows complex, with the complex's pools and restaurant;
• the [El Omara hotel](/en/hotel/hotel-el-omara-bungalows), a group of bungalows with a pool, which people also search for as "El Omara complex".

Oran: Les Andalouses

On Oran's western corniche, at El Ançor, the [Les Andalouses tourist complex](/en/hotel/les-andalouses-oran) is the city's big seaside complex, on the beach of the same name. It is one of the most sought-after summer addresses in western Algeria: for July and August, book several weeks ahead.

Aïn Témouchent: Terga, Ouled Boudjemaâ and Atlantis Djalab

West of Oran, the Aïn Témouchent coast has several holiday complexes:

• the [M'Hiddine – Le Bateau complex](/en/hotel/complexe-m-hiddine-le-bateau) in Terga, with rooms and family apartments, pools and the beach a few steps away;
• the [Doriane Beach Club](/en/hotel/doriane-beach-club-village-touristique), a tourist village in Ouled Boudjemaâ with its own aquapark: see our article on hotels with water slides in Algeria;
• [Atlantis Djalab Aquapark & Spa](/en/atlantis), which many people search for as "Atlantid Djalab", also in Ouled Boudjemaâ, near Sassel beach. Its name highlights an aquapark and a spa: when you book, ask for confirmation of what will be open during your stay.

Seven questions to ask before booking a bungalow

1. How many beds? And how many separate bedrooms: travelling with children or grandparents is not the same thing.
2. A kitchen? Some bungalows have a kitchenette, others do not. Ask what is provided: hob, fridge, crockery.
3. Linen? Sheets and towels are not always supplied in the same quantities, so ask.
4. Are the beach and the pool included? Some complexes also open their private beach to day visitors for an entrance fee. If you are staying overnight, check what your booking covers.
5. Which board? Room only, breakfast or half board: compare with what the complex's restaurants offer.
6. Air conditioning? In July and August, it matters.
7. Check-in and check-out times, especially if you are coming from far away.
