Lying just off the coast of mainland Tunisia, the desert island of Djerba has a long-standing history of being a favourite amongst travellers to North Africa. This small island is home to some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean, with upscale hotel resorts dotting the northern coast of the island, catering to beach bums and sun-seekers from across the world.
The branded SENTIDO Djerba Beach resort is located on the northern coast of the island, and offers rooms from £50.00 per night. This is a great place to stay, as the on-site beach is the best in Djerba, and you are within a 20 minute commute of the main hub of the island — Houmt Souk.
It isn't possible to catch a direct flight between the UK and Djerba, and any trip here will involve a stop-over in a destination where direct flights are possible. The most convenient of which is Paris, which operates daily flights between the French capital and the Tunisian resort.
Given that Tunisia was one under French occupancy, the resort remains popular with French holiday-makers to this day. Much like other summer hotspots, high demand and limited availability may result in flight prices becoming quite expensive as the date of travel edges closer. If you are interested in visiting Djerba, make sure you plan now to get the best possible deal on flights. Regardless, high-end accommodation on the island is available for a very reasonable price.
The island capital of Houmt Souk is a lovely desert town with white-washed buildings, and a hub where locals congregate to buy and sell on the vibrant market. Make absolutely sure that you don't miss out on a visit to the town to soak up some of the local culture during your stay here, as most hotel resorts are located a short drive away.
