Top choice in Hammamet
Occupying a small peninsula north of Hammamet proper, the adults-only resort of La Badira is a swanky affair. It's home to Hammamet's largest infinity pool, which peacefully gazes over the tip of town that juts into the Med, but it also has beach access. The immaculate white-and-light-wood rooms have a few Maghrebi touches; some even come with private pools for a surreptitious dip.
Children under 16 are not permitted to stay.
