Best Family Resorts in Tunisia: Where to Stay With Children

A good family holiday in Tunisia mostly comes down to three things: how long the transfer is after your flight, how much there is to do, and how easy the beach is for children. Tunisia's resorts are compact and built for holidaymakers, so choosing the right one is easier than it looks. Here is how our main family resorts compare.

Skanes: the shortest airport transfer

If a long journey with young children is your main worry, look at Skanes. El Mouradi Skanes is just 7 km from Monastir's Habib Bourguiba airport and 8 km from Sousse, which makes it one of the quickest transfers we offer. It is a fun-packed, easy-to-reach choice for a family holiday, and there are two 18-hole golf courses nearby for parents who play.

Port El Kantaoui: gardens, marina and beach

Port El Kantaoui is our largest resort area, about 10 km from Sousse, with five El Mouradi hotels along the beach: El Mouradi Port El Kantaoui, Palace, Palm Marina, Club Kantaoui and Club Selima. It is a relaxed resort with a marina and a 36-hole golf course. El Mouradi Port El Kantaoui is described as a relaxed, family-friendly base with wide gardens and palm trees, while Club Kantaoui is a well-equipped, activity-led choice. Monastir airport is around 35 km away and Enfidha airport around 40 km.

Yasmine Hammamet: plenty to do close to the hotel

In Yasmine Hammamet, El Mouradi Hammamet and El Mouradi El Menzah face the sea about 200 metres from the Carthage Land theme park. El Menzah is a sports and leisure-focused hotel suited to holidaymakers of all ages. Enfidha airport is about 40 km away, and Tunis-Carthage airport about 80 km.

Mahdia: a quieter, calmer coast

If your family would rather relax than be entertained, Mahdia is calmer. El Mouradi Mahdia sits on a long Mediterranean beach 5 km from Mahdia town, with Monastir airport about 40 km away. El Mouradi Cap Mahdia is a relaxed, Moorish-style beachfront hotel close to the town and its medina.

Children, infants and prices

When you search, children are aged 2 to 12 and infants are under 2 on the date you return. Infants under 2 travel on an adult's lap without a seat of their own and are charged an infant fare. Enter the ages of the children in your party so your price is right from the start.
