Hotels in Port El Kantaoui: beach, marina and all-inclusive

Port El Kantaoui at a glance

Port El Kantaoui opened in 1979 in the municipality of Hammam Sousse, about 10 km north of central Sousse. It was designed as a Tunisian-style resort village: white houses, arcades, flower-lined lanes and cafés around the harbour.

The marina, with around 340 berths, is the heart of the resort. In the evening, families stroll along the quays among ice-cream parlours, restaurants and shops; by day, boat trips leave for the coast.

Next door, El Kantaoui golf has two 18-hole courses, the Sea Course along the shore and the Panorama Course on the hillside, 36 holes in all. Sandy beaches run on both sides of the marina, and most large hotels have their own stretch with loungers and umbrellas.

For sightseeing, the medina of Sousse, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is about a quarter of an hour away by taxi. Monastir, Hammamet and the Roman amphitheatre of El Jem make easy day trips.

All-inclusive hotels in Port El Kantaoui

Many visitors look for an all-inclusive hotel in El Kantaoui so they don't have to think about meals. El Mouradi Club Selima runs on an all-inclusive basis, with buffet meals, a main restaurant and a pizzeria.

At Orient Palace, Iberostar Selection Diar El Andalous, Riviera, Bellevue Park, El Mouradi Palm Marina and Soviva Resort, the meal plan depends on the rate: half board, full board or all-inclusive, depending on the offer and the season.

On Nreservi, the meal plan is clearly shown on each offer before you pay. Some services remain extra even when all-inclusive (spa treatments, some drinks): read the details on the offer.

Families: kids' clubs, water slides and leisure parks

Port El Kantaoui is very popular with families. Soviva Resort welcomes families with children only, with water-slide pools; Riviera is for families and couples only. Bellevue Park has a children's pool with a slide and a kids' club, and Iberostar Selection Diar El Andalous has a kids' club for ages 4 to 12.

Outside the hotels, the resort has two leisure parks: Hannibal Park, an amusement park with rides and a roller coaster for all ages, and Aqua Palace, a water park with slides and wave pools. Check opening days locally, as they depend on the season.

With young children, ask for a room close to the pools in the larger hotels, and check the room capacity on the offer before you book for a large family.

When to go to Port El Kantaoui

The beach season runs from late spring to October. The sea is warmest in August, at around 27 °C, and July and August are the busiest months, so hotels fill up fast: book early for those dates.

May, June, September and October are quieter and still sunny, the best time for golf, thalassotherapy and trips to Sousse, El Jem or Monastir.

In winter the weather stays mild but the sea is cool, around 15 °C in February and March. Several hotels in the resort have an indoor pool (Bellevue Park, Concorde Green Park Palace, El Mouradi Palace, El Mouradi Palm Marina, Iberostar Selection Diar El Andalous, Riviera), which helps out of season.

Getting to Port El Kantaoui

The two nearest airports are Monastir, about 25 km away (around half an hour by road), and Enfidha-Hammamet, about 40 km away (half an hour to 40 minutes). From there, take a taxi or a transfer booked in advance to your hotel.

Algerian passport holders enter Tunisia without a visa. Travellers of other nationalities should check entry rules with their own government's official travel advice before you book. Keep your hotel voucher on your phone or printed.

From Algeria, many families drive across the eastern border crossings and then follow the motorway to Sousse. Several hotels in the resort have parking, such as Hannibal Palace and Iberostar Selection Diar El Andalous.
