Guide to Yasmine Hammamet

"A glittering self-contained resort near Hammamet, Yasmine Hammamet offers a fun mix of soft sands, modern bazaars and lively family entertainments."

If you like your resorts with lots going on, Yasmine Hammamet ticks the right boxes. Completely purpose built for holidaymakers, this new resort lies near its older sibling, Hammamet, and is a bit like an all-singing, all-dancing version of the original. Lying on the same idyllic shoreline where pale, soft sands dissolve into azure waters, it certainly matches up to Hammamet in the beach-lazing stakes. It doesn't take much to spend the whole day here, even though there's plenty to lure you away. As well as a glam new marina moored with gleaming yachts, a stroll from the beach brings you to Yasmine's modern medina. Styled to echo an ancient souk and the city of Carthage, this charming tourist haunt is filled with covered markets, bazaars and open-air cafes, ideal for a lengthy souvenir forage and sun-soaked coffee break. Want more? Wander along the seafront parallel to the beach and rows of more shops and cafes promise to swallow up your time. If all this wasn't enough, Yasmine has many more diversions up its sleeve. Let your hair down on the exciting rides at the Carthage Land theme park, go ice-skating, play golf, enjoy a thalassotherapy treatment – they're all here. By night, most entertainments are hotel-based and revolve around intimate poolside suppers. If a late night is due, head for Yasmine's glittering new casino for a flutter or two. Or hotfoot it to Hammamet to sample its enticing collection of international and Tunisian restaurants – you won't be disappointed. Finally, don't miss a safari into the country's overwhelmingly vast desert hinterland. And make time to visit nearby Sousse to explore its atmospheric, colour-filled medina and Grand Mosque.
