New Family Friendly Hotels in Tunisia:
Sofitel Palm Beach Djerba: Djerba, Tunisia
Property
A large hotel, just along a beautiful golden sandy beach, with two swimming pools, extensive grounds, a fitness center and tennis courts. The wide, sandy beach is a great place for kids to play.
Location
Along the beach on the island of Djerba, about a 25-minute taxi ride from the Djerba international airport.
Sleeps
2-4. Family suites are extremely large, with living room and separate bedrooms.
Highlights
Djerba is the gateway to the Sahara and we loved our day exploring the wonderful desert towns and the Eastern Erg of the Sahara.

Dar El Medina Residence: Tunis, Tunisia
Property
Once the home of a wealthy Tunisian family, this building has been renovated and is now a boutique hotel right in the heart of the winding streets of Tunis’ medina. The location is ideal, just steps away from the Great Mosque and the souk. The rooftop terrace affords a beautiful view over the medina.
Location
The only hotel in Tunis’ medina.
Sleeps
2-4. Rooms are fairly small.
Highlights
This is a great location to explore Tunis and we loved to relax in the afternoons up on the cushions of the roof terrace, with a copy of Arabian Nights. The Bardo Museum, with its excellent collection of Ancient Roman mosaics, is a must on any trip to Tunis.
Good to know
Breakfast is included in the price and is extremely good. The hotel is in the car-free medina of Tunis and you will need to walk a short distance from where taxis can drop you off. If you need assistance with baggage, arrange with the hotel in advance.
