In addition to the historical treasures, Tunis provides a welcoming view of the Mediterranean Sea with gorgeous coastlines and opulent beach resorts. The beaches at La Marsa or Gammarth are ideally situated with soft sands and transparent waters. There are few places in the world where you can enjoy this degree of luxury in private villas and high-end resorts on the coast, complete with private pools, personal chefs, and views of the sea. Guests also have the option of boarding a private yacht to see the Mediterranean in total privacy and comfort.
Tunis is a nice mixture of adventure, relaxation, and luxury, combined with the Mediterranean lifestyle, ancient ruins, and upscale hotels.
