Location: Port El Kantaoui, a short walk from the marina
The hotel opens directly onto the beach, with a beach bar, sunbeds and parasols. The Port El Kantaoui marina, with its restaurants, cafés and shops, is about 600 metres away: you can walk there in the evening, no car or taxi needed.
El Kantaoui golf course is right next to the hotel. Central Sousse and its medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are a taxi ride away for a half-day visit: ribat, Great Mosque, souks and the archaeological museum with its famous mosaics.
Pools, spa and sport
Marhaba Palace has an outdoor pool and indoor pools, useful when the sea cools down, from autumn to spring. A pool bar keeps the day going.
The spa offers massages and treatments, and a gym completes the facilities. Spa treatments are booked on site.
Restaurants, board and children
The hotel has three restaurants, including a buffet and an à la carte restaurant, plus a café and several bars. All-inclusive rates are available; the exact board of each rate is shown on the offer before you book.
Children have their own club and entertainment, and childcare is offered: a good choice for parents who also want to enjoy the beach and the spa.
Who is it for? Not to be confused
Marhaba Palace suits families, thanks to its kids' club and indoor pools, travellers who want the beach while staying within walking distance of the marina, and golfers, who have the course next door.
Several different hotels carry the Marhaba name: in Sousse, Marhaba Beach, Marhaba Salem, Marhaba Royal Salem and Marhaba Club are separate properties, as is Palace Hammamet Marhaba in Hammamet. Marhaba Hotel Casbah is in Algiers. Check the full name before you book.
