Why we recommend it
The Residence Tunis is a resort hotel on the Côtes de Carthage, the stretch of coast between La Marsa and Gammarth, set beside an unspoilt stretch of beach. It is run by Cenizaro Hotels and Resorts as part of The Residence collection, and it suits travellers who want a beach holiday with a strong spa and golf offer while staying within reach of the capital's sights.
The resort's signature facility is its thalasso spa, which covers 4,000 square metres and takes its inspiration from the thermal baths of ancient Rome, a fitting theme given that the ruins of Carthage are close by. Thalassotherapy uses seawater-based treatments, and the spa is a central part of the resort's appeal, so book treatments ahead in busy periods. Golfers have an 18-hole championship course nearby, designed by Robert Trent Jones II.
The restaurants cover several styles. L'Olivier serves Mediterranean food, Li Bai offers Chinese cuisine, El Dar is the Tunisian restaurant with evening service and a weekly belly dance show held in the gardens from July to September, Zembra serves light meals by the pool and Zembretta provides refreshments on the beach. Le Salon is the bar and lounge, and private dining can be arranged. The resort notes that some outlets keep seasonal hours, so check what will be open during your stay.
The hotel organises cultural experiences in the area, including outings themed around Sidi Bou Said, Carthage and the medina, an olive-themed experience and private tent dinners. The resort's own address places it at La Marsa, and La Marsa's beaches, cafés and TGM station, as well as Sidi Bou Said and Carthage, are a short taxi ride away. For the medina and the Bardo Museum, allow more time by road, and consider a guided outing so that transport is arranged for you.
The Residence suits couples, families wanting a beach resort and anyone planning spa treatments or golf. If your priority is walking the medina every day, a guesthouse in the old city will be more practical. Contact the resort by phone or email to book treatments and tee times, and ask about the room categories and views when reserving.
