Tunisia all-inclusive holidays: Hammamet, Sousse, Monastir or Djerba?

"Tunisia all inclusive" usually comes with a second question: which resort? Hammamet, Sousse, Monastir, Mahdia and Djerba all have all-inclusive hotels by the sea, but they make for different holidays. Here is how the resorts compare, with hotels whose all-inclusive formula is confirmed on our pages, and what to check before you book.

At a glance

• Hammamet: the most complete resort, with big beach clubs, Yasmine Hammamet marina and the Carthage Land theme park.
• Sousse and Port El Kantaoui: a real town with a historic medina, and El Kantaoui marina just to the north.
• Monastir (Skanes): aquapark hotels a short hop from the airport.
• Mahdia: a quieter coast for beach and rest.
• Djerba: the southern island, with its own airport.

Hammamet and Yasmine Hammamet: the classic choice

Hammamet's hotels stretch along a long coastline, from the town centre to Yasmine Hammamet, the newer resort to the south with its marina and medina. Families like the Carthage Land theme park, right next to the Eden Yasmine. For all inclusive, [Magic Life Africana](/en/hotel-tunisie/magic-life-africana) is a 5-star beach club with a private beach, pools with waterslides and a kids' club, and [Holiday Village Manar](/en/hotel-tunisie/holiday-village-manar) is also all inclusive, with the beach at the foot of the hotel. All our hotels: Hammamet hotels.

Sousse and Port El Kantaoui: town, medina and marina

Sousse suits people who like to get out of the hotel: its medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the seafront is lined with hotels, cafés and shops. To the north, Port El Kantaoui is built around its marina and golf course. The [Iberostar Selection Kantaoui Bay](/en/hotel-tunisie/iberostar-kantaoui-bay), a 5-star right on the beach, and the [Royal Kenz Thalasso & Spa](/en/hotel-tunisie/royal-kenz), with its thalasso centre and the beach a few minutes' walk away, are both all inclusive. To explore the resort, read our Port El Kantaoui guide. Our hotels: Sousse and Port El Kantaoui.

Monastir and Skanes: the waterslide option

The Skanes tourist zone, near Monastir airport, has several hotels with their own water park. [Skanes Serail & Aquapark](/en/hotel-tunisie/skanes-serail) is sold all inclusive, about 2 km from the airport; so is [Club Tropicana](/en/hotel-tunisie/club-tropicana), with slides and entertainment; and [One Resort Aqua Park & Spa](/en/hotel-tunisie/one-resort-aqua-park) is built around its aquapark. Between swims, the 8th-century ribat (fortress) of Monastir is an easy family visit. Our hotels: Monastir hotels.

Mahdia: the quiet coast

Further south, Mahdia attracts people who mainly want the beach and some peace. The [Iberostar Selection Royal El Mansour](/en/hotel-tunisie/iberostar-royal-el-mansour) and the [Nour Palace Resort & Thalasso](/en/hotel-tunisie/nour-palace-mahdia), two 5-star hotels with thalasso, offer all inclusive, as does the seafront [El Borj](/en/hotel-tunisie/bordj-mahdia). Our hotels: Mahdia hotels.

Djerba: the southern island

Djerba has its own airport, Djerba-Zarzis, and a real island feel: the Midoun tourist zone, villages, and a landscape listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. [Fiesta Beach](/en/hotel-tunisie/fiesta-beach-djerba), [Hari Club Beach Resort](/en/hotel-tunisie/hari-club-djerba) and [Magic Iliade Aquapark](/en/hotel-tunisie/magic-iliade-djerba) are mostly booked all inclusive, while [Djerba Aqua Resort](/en/hotel-tunisie/djerba-aqua-resort) is all about its big water park with a wave pool. Our hotels: Djerba hotels.

Family club or adults only?

All-inclusive clubs mostly target families: slides, kids' clubs and entertainment all day. Travelling without children? A few hotels are adults only: [Aziza](/en/hotel-tunisie/aziza-beach-hammamet) in Hammamet (minimum age 16), [La Badira](/en/hotel-tunisie/la-badira-hammamet), a 5-star in Hammamet, and the all-inclusive [Scheherazade](/en/hotel-tunisie/scheherazade-hotel) in Sousse.

What "all inclusive" really covers

The formula varies from hotel to hotel. Buffet meals are almost always included and local drinks often are; à la carte restaurants, spa, thalasso or some activities may cost extra. Many hotels also offer half board, depending on the rate. The board is shown on every offer before you book: read it, especially if the aquapark or thalasso matters to you.

Before you travel

In principle, British citizens can visit Tunisia without a visa for a short stay: the UK government's travel advice currently mentions up to 90 days, with a passport valid for the whole stay. Rules can change, so check the latest conditions on GOV.UK before you go. GOV.UK also mentions a hotel tax paid on arrival: at the time of writing, 8 Tunisian dinars per person per night in 3-star hotels and 12 dinars in 4- and 5-star hotels, for a limited number of nights. On safety, read our article is Tunisia safe for travellers? and the official UK travel advice for Tunisia, which is updated regularly.
