Magic Life and Magic Hotels in Tunisia: the hotels and their current names

"Magic Life", "Magic Hotels", "Magic Life chain Tunisia": these names come up again and again when Algerian travellers search for a holiday. Yet they mean two different things, and several hotels have changed name along the way. Here is where each hotel stands today, with a link to its page on our site. For every old name, we checked the match against at least two public sources.

Two names not to mix up

• Magic Life is a brand of all-inclusive holiday clubs. Today it appears in hotel names as "TUI Magic Life".
• Magic Hotels & Resorts is a hotel group in Tunisia that runs several of the hotels listed here. Some of them now carry a TUI brand in their name.

The two names often overlap: the same hotel may have been called Magic Life, then Magic Hotel, before taking a new name.

Still called Magic Life

• [TUI Magic Life Africana](/en/hotel-tunisie/magic-life-africana), in Yasmine Hammamet: a seafront club with a pool with water slides.
• [TUI Magic Life Penelope Beach](/en/hotel-tunisie/magic-life-penelope-beach-djerba), in Djerba: often shortened to "Penelope Beach", an all-inclusive club with an aquapark and slides.

Former Magic Life and Magic Hotels: today's names

Magic Life Manar, Magic Hotels Manar → TUI BLUE Manar. The large club on the Mrezga tourist road, between Hammamet and Nabeul, is now called TUI BLUE Manar; it is also listed as Holiday Village Manar. It has pools with water slides. Our page: TUI BLUE Manar (Holiday Village Manar).

Magic Life Skanes, Magic Skanes Family, Skanes Family Resort → Holiday Village AQI Skanes. In Dekhila Skanes, Monastir. The hotel now appears as Holiday Village Skanes and AQI Skanes Resort, and has an aqua park with many slides. Our page: AQI Skanes Resort, formerly Skanes Family Resort.

Magic Hotel Thabraca, Magic Life Thabraca → Thabraca Thalasso & Diving. In Tabarka, on the tourist road by the sea: a hotel focused on thalassotherapy and diving. Other Tabarka hotels have similar names, so check the full name. Our page: Thabraca Thalasso & Diving.

Magic Royal Kenz, Magic Hotel Royal Kenz → Royal Kenz Thalasso & Spa. In Port El Kantaoui, north of Sousse: if you are looking for a former Magic hotel near Sousse, this is the one. Our page: Royal Kenz Thalasso & Spa.

A Magic name that stays: Magic Iliade in Djerba

[Magic Iliade Aquapark](/en/hotel-tunisie/magic-iliade-djerba) keeps the word Magic in its name. It is also listed as Iliade Aqua Park: a resort hotel in the Djerba tourist zone with an aquapark and several slides.

Do not confuse

• TUI Magic Life Africana is not Africa Jade, a different hotel in Korba.
• In Skanes, several hotels share the district's name: AQI Skanes (formerly Skanes Family) is neither Skanes Serail & Aquapark nor Hilton Skanes.
• TUI BLUE Manar and TUI BLUE Palm Beach Hammamet are two different hotels, both in Hammamet.

Mainly after water slides?

Several of these hotels have an aquapark. For the full list, resort by resort, see our French-language guide to hotels with water slides and aquaparks in Tunisia.
