Tunisia of the Senses: Thalasso Therapy, Oases and Sunset

Six days of pure well-being: thalasso therapy on the beaches of Hammamet, strolls through the blue medina of Sidi Bou Said, and sunsets over the Tozeur oasis.

6 days1 countryFrom March to May and from September to November

Description

A well-being itinerary that travels the sensory pleasures of Tunisia. It begins in Hammamet, the historic spa town where thalassotherapy — treatments with seawater, algae and marine mud — reaches levels of excellence. The traveler stays at a spa hotel where every day starts with yoga facing the sea and continues with hydrotherapy circuits, seaweed wraps and massages with essential Tunisian jasmine oils. The excursion to Sidi Bou Said is a visual balm: whitewashed streets with turquoise-blue doors and windows, bougainvillea climbing the facades, views over the Gulf of Tunis from the Café des Délices. The route continues south: Chott el Djerid, a sea of salt where the sunset puts on a show of impossible colors — violets, oranges and pinks reflected on the white horizon. The final destination is Tozeur, an oasis of southern Tunisia, where the traveler sinks into the stillness of the palm grove: carriage rides among 400,000 date palms, swims in natural thermal pools and nights in a hotel of traditional brick-and-domes architecture. Six days that restore body and mind with the essence of the Mediterranean and the desert.
