10 Sizzling Seaside Resorts In Sousse To Soak Up The Sun

Sousse is one of the most popular beach cities in North Africa for travelers looking to soak up some sunshine. Even in the middle of winter, the temperatures in this warm Mediterranean city stay above 60F (16C), making it a great getaway from colder climates. With so many great beaches, it’s no wonder most of the resorts in the city have built their properties in a long row lining the shore. From family friendly resorts to couples getaways, here are our picks for the best resorts in Sousse, Tunisia.

Tour Khalef Marhaba Thalasso & Spa

Located right on the beach, this charming resort is situated on a 25-acre park, giving guests plenty of room to sit back and relax. One of the best amenities of the hotel is the gigantic 50,000 square foot spa center that has numerous treatments, beauty cabins and a swimming pool filled with sea-water looking out over the Mediterranean.

Marhaba Beach Hotel

For travelers looking to relax and let everything be taken care of, the Marhaba Beach Hotel is one of the best places. While it isn’t as luxurious as the like of Moevenpick and others, it’s also less stuffy and probably more fun. The Tunisian style rooms evoke a light, care-free mood and are a perfect complement to the multiple pools and activities around the hotel. There’s also a fish foot spa on site that will exfoliate your feet.

Marhaba Salem

Not to be confused with the Marhaba Royal Salem, this resort by the same company is just about as good and comes in at slightly cheaper rates. It also features similar amenities such as three pools, a night club and a fantastic Tunisian spa with the works. One of the more interesting things at Marhaba is the drag shows that run a few nights out of the week — definitely a must-see.

Orient Palace Hotel

Last but not least, this beachfront white-washed hotel is good for those on a budget. It features a large swimming pool, great spa, and just like others on our list, is located by a fantastic beach. There are also several restaurants and bars on site, which means you can spend the whole time in the city without ever having to leave.
