The Residence Tunis is a true gem, showcasing enchanting Arab-Andalusian architecture reminiscent of a fairy-tale palace. Nestled within expansive gardens and situated directly on a private, fine sandy beach, this hotel captivates from the very first glance. The spacious lobby welcomes guests with a harmonious blend of mystical elegance and contemporary luxury, making every stay an unforgettable experience.
With its privileged location on the sun-drenched Mediterranean coast, the hotel embodies a perfect balance between oriental authenticity and modern comfort. The Residence Tunis offers more than just a holiday retreat – it is a luxurious sanctuary that transforms every stay into a sensual experience.

The charming coastal town of La Marsa is located in the north of Tunisia on the Mediterranean Sea and captivates with its idyllic atmosphere and picturesque landscape. Nestled in the fine sandy coastal section of Les Côtes de Carthage, it combines dreamy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a fascinating cultural richness.
Just about 6 miles away are the impressive remains of ancient Carthage, taking you on a journey into the past. Due to this historical proximity, the region is often referred to as the "shimmering gateway to antiquity".

With its favourable location - only 12 miles from the capital Tunis and 3 miles from the artist village of Sidi Bou Saïd, La Marsa is the ideal starting point to explore Tunisia's diverse culture and history.
