Hammamet
Built in the 1970s by the presidential architect, this massive 390-room hotel has had a swish overhaul since then. The neat rooms have great views, though they're smaller than those at other luxury Hammamet properties. But when you're spending your days lounging on the private, soft-sand beach, on horseback or playing golf on the hotel's own course, you'll hardly be there anyway.
There’s a minimum week-long stay during high season, and it's often block booked out by Thomas Cook package deals.
