Picolo recommends · Hotel in Hammamet, Tunisia
La Badira
An adults-only hotel on the beach north of Hammamet, where every single room looks out to the Mediterranean.
Draw the curtains and it is just the sea, flat and blue, with the beach right below. No splashing from a children's pool, no music from an entertainment team. La Badira keeps to grown-ups, and the quiet is the first thing you notice.
The hotel stands on the shore north of central Hammamet, with several pools, a large spa and restaurants that focus on fish and Mediterranean food. The design is contemporary and restrained, all pale stone and clean lines.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose La Badira
This is our romantic pick in Tunisia. Couples get calm, attentive service and a sea view from every room, and guests speak warmly of the food. It is a hotel for doing very little, very well.
You are outside town, so the old medina and its cafés need a taxi each time. Families cannot stay, and anyone who wants nightlife on foot should look closer to the centre.

Open in MapsQuestions about La Badira
Is La Badira adults only?
Yes. The hotel only accepts adults, so there are no kids' pools or entertainment programmes, and the pool area stays calm through the day.
Do all rooms at La Badira have a sea view?
Yes, every room faces the Mediterranean, so you do not need to pay extra or ask at check-in to wake up with the sea in front of you.
How far is La Badira from the Hammamet medina?
It sits on the beach north of the centre, and the old walled medina takes only a few minutes by taxi for an evening stroll.
