The Residence Tunis in detail

Hotel

The Residence Tunis is a true jewel, its Arab-Andalusian architecture giving it the appearance of a fairytale palace. Set within extensive gardens and directly beside a private stretch of fine sandy beach, this hotel captivates at first sight. The spacious lobby welcomes guests with a harmonious blend of mystique, elegance and contemporary luxury, making a stay here an unforgettable experience from the very outset.
With its privileged position on the sun-drenched Mediterranean coast, the hotel strikes the perfect balance between Oriental authenticity and modern comfort. The Residence Tunis is more than a place to stay; it is a luxurious haven of wellbeing, making every stay a truly sensory experience.

Location & Surroundings

The charming coastal town of La Marsa lies in northern Tunisia, on the Mediterranean, and delights with its idyllic atmosphere and picturesque scenery. Set along the fine sandy stretch of coast known as Les Côtes de Carthage, it combines beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters and a fascinating cultural heritage. Just 10 km away are the impressive remains of ancient Carthage, offering a journey into the past. Thanks to this proximity to history, the region is often described as the “shimmering gateway to antiquity”. Ideally located just 20 km from the capital, Tunis, and 5 km from the artists’ village of Sidi Bou Saïd, La Marsa is the perfect base for exploring Tunisia’s rich culture and history.

Food & Drink

Embark on a culinary journey and discover a variety of exceptional flavours. At the main restaurant L'Olivier, enjoy Mediterranean cuisine at its finest. Savour breakfast, lunch or dinner in stylish surroundings or on the spacious terrace overlooking the picturesque landscape. The varied buffet features specialities such as traditional Tunisian Mlaoui bread, fine pastries and fresh seasonal fruit (6:30–23:00). At Li Bai, step into the world of imperial Chinese cuisine. Surrounded by fine porcelain and ornate decor, enjoy authentic Chinese delicacies (19:00–24:00). El Dar invites you to explore the world of Tunisian flavours. Sample traditional dishes, unwind with a shisha and enjoy fresh mint tea in a cosy, oriental atmosphere. Once a week, dinner is accompanied by a belly-dancing show (19:00–23:00). Zembra Poolside Bar & Grill offers a relaxed setting by the pool in which to savour a meal (April to October / 10:00–17:00 and late June to September / 12:30–16:00).

For special occasions, the hotel offers private dining experiences, from a romantic candlelit dinner on the beach to an exclusive Bedouin dining experience in a private tent with personal service (at an additional charge, advance booking required).

The overall ambiance was great. First class treatment from the front door nice gentleman, to helpful front desk personnel as Ms Sayda and friendly hosts like Mr Faisal in the dining room, and cheerful housekeeping as Ms. Hiyat…Also I want to thank again the front desk for contacting Mr Fathi to be my tour guide. He went above and beyond his job to help me with my limited mobility. He was very knowledgeable about the historical background of all the places. Everybody made my stay in Tunisia one of my best memories. Thank you all.
