Affordable family all-inclusive, aquaparks and long sandy beaches, a short flight away
🏖️Hammamet
Tunisia
Updated 1 July 2026
Hammamet is Tunisia's easy family beach break: a two to three hour flight from much of Europe, with long sandy beaches, warm calm sea and a wall of affordable all-inclusive resorts, many with their own water slides and free kids clubs. Yasmine Hammamet is the purpose-built resort strip, with a car-free marina, a theme park and the aquaparks; the older town to the north adds a walled medina and Kasbah for a real slice of Tunisia. It is value rather than luxury, and the best swimming runs from May to October, but for a sunny, slide-filled family week that does not empty the account, few places nearby compete.

Our KidProof picks
Hand-picked and scored on the eight things that matter to families.
in Hammamet
TUI Magic Life Africana
Bright, recently refreshed rooms set in green gardens, with family rooms and connecting options that sleep two adults and two children in comfort. Most have a balcony or terrace, and cots are free on request, so a baby and an older sibling fit without a squeeze.
in Hammamet
Iberostar Waves Averroes
Comfortable, well-kept rooms in Mediterranean style, most with a balcony over the gardens or towards the sea. Family rooms sleep four, and the reliable Iberostar upkeep means clean bathrooms and working air conditioning, which is not a given at this price on the coast.
in Hammamet
Vincci Lella Baya & Thalasso
Well-kept rooms with a furnished balcony, most looking over the gardens or the sea, and family rooms that comfortably take two adults and two children. Cots are free on request, and the seafront setting means a sea breeze and easy access to the sand just 30 metres away.
in Hammamet
El Mouradi Hammamet
Simple, spacious rooms across a large complex, most with a balcony, and plenty of family rooms and connecting doubles. This is honest value rather than luxury: the furnishings are dated in places, but the rooms are big and there is real room to spread out with children.
in Hammamet
Nozha Beach Resort & Spa
Comfortable rooms and family rooms across a large seafront resort, most with a balcony over the pools, gardens or sea. There is space for a family of four, cots come free on request, and the more recently updated rooms are a clear step up, so it pays to ask.
in Hammamet
Sentido Phenicia
Comfortable rooms set in nine hectares of mature gardens, most with a balcony or terrace, and family rooms that take four. It is a leafy, spread-out property, so ask for a room near the pool if you are travelling with a pram and small children.
in Hammamet
Omar Khayam Resort & Aqua Park
Simple, roomy rooms across a large beachfront complex, most with a balcony, and plenty of family rooms. This is a value resort, so expect functional rather than fancy, but the rooms are a fair size and there is space for cots and a family of four.

Parents also ask
When is the best time to visit Hammamet with kids?
May, June, September and October are ideal, with warm sea and sun but without the peak-summer heat. July and August are hotter and busier, so plan slides and beach in the morning and shade at midday.
Which airport should we fly into?
Enfidha (NBE) is the closest, roughly an hour by transfer, and handles most charter flights from Europe. Tunis Carthage (TUN) is a little further north.
Is Hammamet good value compared with Spain or Greece?
Yes, this is the point of Tunisia. All-inclusive resorts with kids clubs and water slides cost noticeably less than the equivalent in Spain, Greece or Turkey. Expect honest value rather than five-star polish at these prices.
Yasmine Hammamet or the old town: where should we stay?
Yasmine Hammamet has the car-free marina, theme park and biggest aquapark resorts, ideal for a self-contained family week. The northern resorts near the old town are leafier and calmer, and closer to the authentic medina and Kasbah.
