To the south of the Gulf of Hammamet, the hotels of Monastir marry tradition with pleasure at one of the most pleasant beach resorts in the whole of Tunisia. The lion's share of the establishments are concentrated to the west of the town centre in the tourist area of Skanès. Literally right on the water, the club hotels and holiday residences are much-loved by families with their host of amenities such as swimming pools, sports fields and restaurants, meaning that young or old, there is always something to be busy with. Many of the hotels offer the all-inclusive model where there is nothing extra to pay once at the hotel (except for some services which you should find out about before heading off on holiday). These hotels are all to be found right on some beautiful beaches. Early on in the morning, guests head down there to reserve their sun loungers by placing their towels over them in an attempt to guarantee themselves a day of relaxation. The hotel zone of Skanès is the perfect spot for lazing around, practicing water sports and for wellbeing. Several luxury establishments attract visitors to their thalassotherapy centres for treatments for both the body and the mind.
