Located on a beautifully remote stretch of sand, this resort looks like it was plucked out of a children's book about East Africa and migrated to the Med. The pleasant rooms have wicker-wood furniture and exit onto graceful balconies. As with many resorts, Africa Jade treads the line between elegant and cheesy, but it's a lovely, more peaceful alternative to Hammamet.
