Hasdrubal Thalassa & Spa Port El Kantaoui
Updated 1 July 2026
- Baby
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
The most refined address in Port El Kantaoui, built around a serious thalassotherapy spa and generous suites rather than a water park. It suits families who put comfort and calm first: think slow mornings by an elegant pool, a quiet stretch of beach, and a spa where parents can genuinely switch off while the little ones are at the club. Not the choice for slide-obsessed kids, but a lovely one for a gentler family week.
Our verdict
Pick it for space, calm and a brilliant spa. Ideal for parents of babies and toddlers who want an easy, low-key week, less so for older kids after slides and buzz.
The rooms
Spacious junior suites and family suites, most with a sitting area and a balcony over the gardens or sea. The suite layouts give parents and children a bit of separation at night, and the marble bathrooms are a cut above the resort norm here.

Is it right for your kids?

Big suites, cots on request and a calm setting make this an easy pick with a baby.
Toddler

The unhurried pool and quiet beach suit toddlers, though there is no dedicated splash zone.
Kid
4 to 11 yrs
The mini club and marina outings keep kids happy, but slide fans may want a livelier resort.
Teen
12 yrs and up
Teens will love the spa and beach but may find the evenings quiet, so plan marina and Sousse trips.
