Beaches and Local Character

The primary appeal of Hammamet is its stunning coastline. The beaches here are soft, sandy, and gently shelving, making them ideal for families with young children or those who simply enjoy a long, leisurely swim. Most of the major hotels are situated directly on the beachfront, meaning you are rarely more than a few minutes away from the sea.

Beyond the sand, the town of Hammamet itself is a joy to explore. A stroll through the old town area reveals a maze of whitewashed walls and traditional architecture. It is an excellent place to grab a coffee, watch the world go by, and soak in the local atmosphere away from the busier tourist strips.

Food and Things to Do

Tunisian cuisine is a highlight for many visitors, blending Mediterranean flavours with aromatic North African spices. Expect plenty of fresh grilled fish, couscous, and locally grown olives. If you are staying on a half-board or all-inclusive package, your hotel will likely provide a great introduction to these flavours, but it is always worth heading into the town centre to try some authentic local street food or visit a traditional café.

For those who prefer to stay active, the region offers plenty of opportunities for watersports, including jet-skiing and parasailing. If you prefer land-based activities, the area is also well-known for its thalassotherapy spas, where you can indulge in treatments based on seawater and marine products—a perfect way to unwind after a flight.

Who Does Hammamet Suit?

Hammamet is an incredibly versatile destination. It suits families who need the convenience of all-inclusive facilities and kids' clubs, but it is equally popular with couples who want a romantic setting for an adults-only getaway. Because the flight times from UK airports are relatively short for the distance travelled, it is also a fantastic option for those looking to maximise their time in the sun without the hassle of long-haul travel.
