Five-star beachfront resort with 618 rooms, multiple pools, thalassotherapy spa, and private beach. First international chain resort in Sousse with exceptional marine spa facilities and family-friendly amenities.
The Mövenpick Resort & Marine Spa Sousse occupies a prime position on Boulevard de la Corniche, Sousse's beachfront promenade, roughly 5 km north of the UNESCO-listed medina and 6 km from Port El Kantaoui marina. The resort was the first international chain hotel to open in Sousse and its scale — 618 rooms spread across low-rise wings set in landscaped gardens — remains the dominant landmark on the city's northern coastline.
The property follows the Mediterranean resort model with whitewashed exteriors, terracotta-tiled terraces, and a private beach accessed directly from the grounds. Rooms range from standard sea-view doubles with furnished balconies to deluxe suites with panoramic Mediterranean outlooks. All categories include air conditioning, satellite television, and minibar; upper-category rooms add separate living areas and upgraded bathroom fittings.
Dining spans several outlets: a main restaurant delivering à la carte Mediterranean and international menus, a poolside grill serving grilled fish and salads through the day, and beach and pool bars stocking cocktails and local wines. Breakfast is a full buffet with local pastries, fresh juices, and a live egg station.
The Marine Spa is the property's defining feature — a dedicated thalassotherapy centre using heated seawater for jet showers, flotation pools, and targeted body treatments. The spa complex also houses a hammam, steam room, sauna, and fitness studio. Outdoor facilities include four swimming pools, one of which is heated for use in cooler months, plus a dedicated children's pool and a kids club with supervised activities.
Service is geared to both leisure families and business travellers. A dedicated concierge team organises medina walking tours, golf transfers to nearby courses, and excursions to the Ribat of Monastir 45 km south. Conference rooms handle events of up to 500 delegates.

Highlights
- Thalassotherapy marine spa using heated seawater with jet showers, flotation pools, and hammam — one of the most comprehensive spa facilities on the Tunisian coast
- Private beach with direct access and four outdoor pools including a heated pool and a children's pool with supervised kids club
- Central Corniche location within 5 km of Sousse medina and 6 km of Port El Kantaoui marina, making it the most convenient large resort for sightseeing
Tips for visiting
- Book sea-view rooms on upper floors — the lower garden-view rooms are quieter but the balcony outlooks onto the Mediterranean justify the rate difference
- The marine spa books up fast in summer; reserve thalassotherapy sessions at check-in rather than waiting until mid-stay
- A shuttle or short taxi ride connects the resort to Sousse medina in around 15 minutes — the walk along the Corniche is pleasant in the evening but long in summer heat
When to visit
May to October for beach and pool use; shoulder months (April, November) offer lower rates and comfortable temperatures for spa and sightseeing.
