Tunisia is not the first country people think of for a luxury holiday, but its five-star hotels offer a lot for the money: private beaches, large spa centres, several restaurants and suites. We sell three five-star El Mouradi hotels, and this guide compares them honestly so you can pick the one that suits your trip.

Gammarth: the most convenient airport
If a short transfer matters to you, Gammarth is the one to look at. It is about 20 minutes from Tunis-Carthage airport and close to Carthage, Sidi Bou Said and La Marsa. The hotel has an outdoor pool and a covered pool, both with children's pools, a private beach with sun beds and parasols, and a spa with an indoor seawater pool. Sports include tennis, archery, mini golf, pedalos and kayaks.
El Mouradi Palace: a full resort
El Mouradi Palace faces the 36-hole golf course at Port El Kantaoui and is on the beach. It has two outdoor pools (one for adults and one for children), a covered pool with a jacuzzi, a spa with 30 cabins, eight floodlit tennis courts, à la carte and beach restaurants and several bars including a Moorish café. The rooms include a presidential suite.
El Mouradi Palm Marina: marina and gardens
Palm Marina is built in Hispano-Moorish style close to the marina. Gardens lead down to a sandy beach. It has four restaurants (one à la carte), three bars, a Moorish café and a night club, plus a spa with a seawater pool. The resort's golf course is about 2 km away.
What to check before you book
- Airport and transfer time. Port El Kantaoui is around 35 km from Monastir and 40 km from Enfidha, so a private transfer takes longer than from Gammarth to Tunis.
- Board basis. Our search shows the board for each price. Five-star hotels are often sold half board or all inclusive.
- Room type. Suites are priced per suite. Check the room you choose on the Options step.
- Dates. Prices change with the season, so compare a few dates in the price calendar.
