Elegant 5-star resort in upscale Gammarth with moorish architecture, private beach, championship golf course, and palatial interiors. Member of Leading Hotels of the World with exceptional service.
The Residence Tunis stands on Les Côtes de Carthage in Gammarth, the upscale coastal suburb 20 km north of Tunis city centre. The property overlooks the Gulf of Tunis and sits within easy reach of the Carthage ruins and Roman amphitheatre (7 km south), La Marsa's beach promenade (3 km), and Tunis-Carthage International Airport (15 km). The Gammarth coastline is quieter and more exclusive than the central city, making this resort a natural choice for those who want proximity to Tunis without urban noise.
The hotel is managed under the Cenizaro Hotels group and has held membership in Leading Hotels of the World since its opening. The architecture is Moorish-palatial in character: white stone facades, horseshoe arches, ornate plasterwork, hand-painted zellige tilework, and colonnaded walkways surrounding a series of courtyard gardens. The interiors carry the same register — coffered ceilings, inlaid wooden screens, and a scale that feels palatial without being impersonal.
The 170 rooms and suites divide into sea-view and garden categories; upper-floor sea-facing suites include expansive private terraces and access to butler service. All rooms feature marble bathrooms, premium bath amenities, flat-screen televisions, and high-speed wireless internet.
Dining options include a Mediterranean fine-dining restaurant, a poolside seafood grill, and a casual beach restaurant operating through the warmer months. The Amani Spa occupies a dedicated wing with a hammam, hydrotherapy pool, and twelve treatment rooms offering both European and traditional Tunisian protocols. Fitness facilities include a fully-equipped gym and tennis courts.
A championship 18-hole golf course designed to professional standards adjoins the property, one of very few hotel-affiliated courses in Tunisia. Business travellers benefit from a dedicated events wing handling meetings, conferences, and private banquets.

Highlights
- 18-hole championship golf course adjoining the property — one of Tunisia's finest hotel-affiliated courses, available to guests and visiting players
- Moorish-palatial architecture with hand-painted zellige tilework, carved plasterwork, and colonnaded courtyards distinguishes the property from standard international luxury hotels in the region
- Gammarth coastal location 7 km from Carthage ruins and 15 km from Tunis-Carthage Airport provides seclusion without sacrificing access to the city's main cultural sites
Tips for visiting
- The golf course books up on weekends; reserve tee times at least 48 hours in advance, especially in spring and autumn when the weather is optimal
- Sea-facing suites on the upper floors offer the best views of the Gulf of Tunis at sunset — the westward orientation makes evening light particularly striking
- The hotel's beach restaurant is exclusively accessible to hotel guests; La Marsa's public beach is 3 km south if guests want a more animated beach scene
When to visit
April to June and September to November for golf and sightseeing; July–August for beach use though rates are at peak.
Accessibility
Lift access to all floors; adapted rooms with wider doorways available. Golf buggies are provided on the course for guests with mobility requirements.
