Vacation in Djerba
Escape to an oasis of wellness
With its endless beaches bathed in sunshine for around 300 days a year, its unspoilt, diverse hinterland, its colourful villages and rich heritage shaped by historical civilisations, Tunisia is a wonderful place to escape to. Tunisia has a reputation as a global wellness retreat, boasting a unique expertise in physical and mental wellness treatments. Many hotels make this their speciality, offering state-of-the-art facilities where ancestral rituals and the healing powers of water are celebrated.
Easy-going and friendly atmosphere
This southern Tunisian island owes its nickname "Djerba la Douce" ("Djerba the gentle") to its mild climate all year round, ever-present sun and pleasant sea breeze. The island is fringed with magnificent sandy beaches leading up to turquoise waters and its inland is dotted with traditional whitewashed houses and lush, green palm groves. Djerba’s charming scenery, rich cultural heritage, strong sense of hospitality and excellent hotel facilities make it an ideal destination for a friendly and relaxing break at any time of the year.
