Discover Gammarth: a seaside resort between the lagoon and pine forest

Gammarth is the main seaside resort of the Tunisian capital, situated between a lagoon and a pine forest. Swimming plans, golf practice, a possible boat trip and a lively nightlife give a stay here a range of different highlights. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, it helps to decide first what you want to focus on: summer swimming, golf training, a trip by sea or evenings spent at restaurants, bars and clubs.

Scenery and summer swimming

The lagoon and pine forest shape Gammarth’s landscape. Gammarth’s beaches or hotel beaches are recommended for swimming in the summer months. This seasonal guidance makes the time of year an important part of planning a beach visit. If you have a particular beach in mind, check access in advance so you can apply the recommendation to the specific place where you plan to swim.

Golf practice at the Academy

The Golf Academy is located within Golf Residence in Gammarth. It has around ten practice areas with synthetic mats, as well as two indoor practice areas. This provides different training options: practice areas with mats and indoor facilities. If you specifically want to use the indoor practice areas, ask the Academy about their current availability. This will help you include this particular activity in your plans and check in advance whether it suits your stay.

Boat trip to Cap Bon and Zembra

From Gammarth, it is possible to take a boat trip to the small, unspoilt coves of Cap Bon and to the island of Zembra. Alongside experiences in the town itself, this offers the option of an excursion to different destinations: the coves of Cap Bon or the island of Zembra. Zembra is a nature reserve and national park. If you would like to include the trip in your plans, check in advance whether it can be arranged during your visit. This lets you connect the idea of an excursion with the specific plans for your trip.

Evenings in Gammarth

A festive atmosphere fills Gammarth’s many restaurants, bars and clubs from sunset until dawn. Nightlife is therefore a distinctive part of the town’s character, alongside beach and excursion plans. If late nights are part of your plans, you can take this into account when choosing where to stay.

Choose a holiday apartment to suit your plans

When looking for a holiday apartment, it helps to rank the options by how important they are to your stay. Swimming is specifically recommended in the summer months; the Academy offers the practice areas described above, while a boat trip should be arranged in advance. If people in your travel group have different interests, you can choose a main focus and treat other activities as additions. That way, your choice of location can reflect what you want to do in Gammarth.
