Four Seasons Tunis

Arabesque delight by the Mediterranean seaside

Credit: Richard Waite

The arabesque styles of Four Seasons Tunis, seen in its arches, domes and fountains, stand out across the skyline of the upmarket Gammarth district. Enticing features including outdoor terraces, private plunge pools, twin vanity sinks and walk-in closets bolster its 203 accommodations, which are peppered with artistic Tunisian motifs. Scoff Mediterranean dishes at The CREEK, Bistro Chic, relish fresh seafood twinned with a cocktail at BLU Bar & Grill or enjoy international fare at Azur; all three boast enviable ocean vistas. Throw in a marble-columned spa and its lap pool and hammam, and you have an exquisitely provincial – and alluring – retreat.
