Maison Dedine

With sweeping views over the Bay of Tunis, Maison Dedine isn’t just any seaside hotel. Once the home to an adventurous painter and sailor, it’s a love letter to the ocean, with floor-to-ceiling windows and an infinity pool that puts the blue horizon centre stage. Add generous living room spaces and authentic Tunisian and Arabic art, and it truly feels like a cosy home from home. 

Each of the rooms celebrates the sea and local region in its own way, whether it’s in the rich navy tones of Hallou or the artisanal antique chairs in Bada. Sumptuous beds aside, the hotel has plenty of other places to relax: from generous sofas in the Mediterranean area, to the rooftop terrace with (you guessed it) more spectacular ocean panoramas.

Venture further afield from Maison Dedine and this rugged part of Northern Africa won’t disappoint. Discover the nearby town of Sidi Bou Said, which has long charmed travellers with its blue and white buildings. See ancient gems at the Archaeological Museum of Carthage. Or set sail from the hotel on a catamaran, keeping your eyes peeled for the coast’s small islands and secret coves.
