12 BEST THINGS TO DO IN HAMMAMET IN WINTER: A 3-DAY ITINERARY

6th February 2026

Last Updated on 2nd March 2026 by Bejal

The popular North Eastern town of Hammemet is known as a summer sun destination for its turquoise waters, myriad of souks, beachside hotels, lovely restaurants, and sandy palm fringed stretches of coastline. When we think of the coast, it’s the sun-drenched elements of the destination that come to mind. Still, there are so many things to do in Hammamet in winter, including slowing down, taking in a much less crowded place, connecting with culture as well as indulging in wellness and exploring a quieter side to this iconic seaside town. If it’s the meaningful sustainable luxury you’re looking for, then we’ve put together this 3 day itinerary containing the best things to do in Hammamet in Winter.

Why Visit Hammamet in Winter

The biggest draws of visiting Hammamet in the winter time is the lack of crowds, to be able to wander around freely, as well as the weather. We were in Hammamet in December, and the temperature was very pleasant, around 18-20°C. Of course, this isn’t warm enough to swim in the sea, but it’s perfect for exploring. If you do want to swim in the sea, then we’d advise coming between May and October!

During the winter months, apart from the mild climate, many hotels, restaurants and day tour packages have reasonable rates, meaning great value for money, and additionally, this is a time when many places put a focus on wellbeing. Think beautiful thalasso spa treatments at hotels that place a priority on mind, body and soul.

We found that with fewer visitors, it’s easier to see and experience the real Hammamet and what it really has to offer. Speak to the locals. Immerse yourself in the local culture and feel the town.

Be-lavie Fact: Hammamet is occasionally referred to as the ‘St. Tropez of Tunisia due to its coastal location, popularity with locals and tourists, great restaurants, beaches and turquoise waters.

How to Get to Hammamet

The coastal city is in a great location with many European flights coming in via Enfidah Airport, which is around 40 minutes drive away, or it’s possible to catch a train to old Hammamet, which is around 36 minutes ride. Buses are also available from Enfidah airport straight into Hammamet city centre. Many package flights that fly into Enfidah have hotel transfers included. It is also possible to fly into Tunis Carthage Airport, as it serves many more flights internationally. From here you may like to get a private driver pre-arranged to take you to your hotel in Hammamet. The drive would take around 55 minutes.

How to Get Around Hammamet

The easiest way we found was by taxi, although we did end up paying almost double when we got a taxi from Old Hammamet to our hotel. On the way into the town, the hotel arranged this for us so we knew it was a fair price, but when returning, we got into a metered taxi at the taxi rank, and when we arrived at the hotel, the driver tried to charge us twice as much as what was agreed. A little annoying, but we just stuck to our guns and paid the metered rate and didn’t tip as he started to raise his voice and get annoyed that we didn’t pay the amount he wanted!

We later spoke to our hotel about it, and they said this is quite a common thing to happen, and it’s a shame as it deters some tourists from getting cabs.

Where to Stay in Hammamet

La Badira, a contemporary, modern adults only boutique style beach resort hotel on the outskirts of Hammamet. When we were researching places to stay in Hammamet, we came across the fact that La Badira was owned by a local Tunisian lady, Mouna Ben Halima. We liked her story and ethics on what she wanted to create for the hotel, so we had to stay here when we visited Hammamet. They also have a great number of sustainability initiatives, which we’ve gone into depth in our article about Sustainable Boutique Hotels & Guesthouses in Tunisia.

This peaceful and calm hotel has minimal, white decor with glimmers of classic Tunisian architecture. There are 130 very spacious suites, which look out onto the sea, and the Noor suites, which also have a whirlpool on their terraces.

Our room had everything we would need for a luxurious yet mindful stay, from coffee machines to full size toiletries, fluffy white robes, very comfortable linens and beds and of course plenty of space!

The hotel’s garden leads onto two separate beach areas as well as two swimming pools with an infinity-like design. For those into their wellbeing, the Clarins spa offers a choice of treatments, including relaxing massages and fitness lovers, yes, there’s a gym.

La Badira is a hotel that may be luxurious, but it’s understated and comfortable and places great importance on sustainable practices. They have their policies and projections for the future openly available on their website, should you fancy a read.

12 Things to Do in Hammamet

Day 1 Morning

#1. Get Lost in The Medina of Hammamet

On the first morning after breakfast, we headed to Old Hammamet to explore the Medina. We were there by 09:30 and hoped to wander around whilst things were quiet in the morning. We walked through the beautiful white-washed streets and alleyways, with bright blue studded doors, cats purring outside under the many archways and getting to know the medina, which feels rather more personal. We walked by stalls and watched artisans at work, saw shop owners sipping on their morning tea, who greeted us warmly and invited us into their shops to look around. If you’ve travelled to different locations around Tunisia, you will notice the Medina has the same white-washed aesthetics as the large Houmt Souk in Djerba Island.

HAMMAMER MEDINA

Be-lavie Tip: If you don’t want to go into shops or are badgered to go in too much, simply say a friendly, polite no thankyou and move on.

There are some lovely Dars or guesthouses within the walls of the medina with pretty gardens you can peep into to see their courtyards.

HAMMAMET MEDINA

Be-lavie Tip: Note the black studded doors (a little like in Siddi Bou Said), which represent protective talismans to ward off the evil eye and bring good luck. These intricate, black-nailed, often geometric or floral designs on blue or yellow doors symbolise a family’s wealth, status, and cultural heritage, almost like a spiritual barrier between the public and their private life.

Early morning in the medina feels calm and special, just meandering the streets and looking at the architecture of the local buildings, some of which are residential properties.

#2. Visit the Dar Khadija Museum

We stumbled upon the Musée Dar Khadija (Khadija Museum) located within the walls of the medina. It’s a pretty small museum, an old house with four floors featuring artefacts telling the history of Hammamet. It’s full of books, traditional clothing, tools, and charts depicting how daily life for the locals has changed through the ages. Hammamet’s history spans from ancient Roman times, to the Turkish invaders, right through to when it was eventually set free, becoming an independent place, safely back in the hands of Tunisia. It also describes the history of Hammamet as a fishing port. The museum is a worthwhile cultural visit to gauge a perspective on how the town developed to what it is today.

#3. Pop in for Morning coffee at Café Sidi Bou Hdid

Around mid-morning, why not pop in for coffee or a drink and snack at Café Sidi Bou Hdid? It’s a favourite spot with the locals and has indoor and outdoor seating, complete with sea views. They do a great mint tea as well as Turkish coffee. The menu has a great range of sweet and savoury snacks if you’re feeling peckish after a morning of walking the medina.

#4. Walk by the Mermaids of Hammamet

If you’re sitting having a coffee at Café Sidi Bou Hdid, you cannot miss the Three Mermaids, right on the roundabout. We were told that, depending upon what time of year you visit, the mermaids can be painted in different colours; however, they were azure blue on our visit. They symbolise the town’s identity as a Mediterranean resort, rather than representing an ancient, localised legend.

#5. Climb Up The Kasbah for Beautiful Sea Views

At the edge of the Medina, climb the stairs up to the Hasbah of Hammamet for some great sea views. Feel the cool winter air on your face as you look out onto the Mediterranean and catch the fishermen sorting through their daily catch and tending to their nets on the small portion of the beach, covered with their colourful fishing boats. Admire the beautiful architecture of the Kasbah, There is nothing to see inside but as we’ve said the views are worth the climb!

Admission: 8TND

#6. Walk Around The Fishing Harbour or Plage Hammamet

Take a short walk along the fishing harbour for a closer look at the fishermen sorting through their nets, it’s perfect to people watch and get a real feel for the area, which, despite being a place the tourists visit often it feels very local.

Day 1: Afternoon

#7. Have Lunch at Chez Achour

We were suggested Chez Achour in Hammamet by the concierge at La Badira. It’s a locally owned restaurant that opened its doors in 1961 and generally specialises in fresh seafood, but they did rustle up some great vegetarian dishes, including linguini in a spicy tomato and courgette sauce. We also had a salad and homemade bread to start, finishing with a hot chocolate fondant, which was really gooey, cooked to perfection! Again, they had some great Tunisian Rose wine. Seating is outside in their pretty courtyard, which is shaded and warm.

The weather in December was pretty mild, so they’d set up their pretty courtyard for guests, and it felt very much like sitting in an enchanting garden on a summer’s day.

#8. Walk along the beach Cormiche Promenade in Old Hammamet

Following a very long and leisurely lunch, we walked past the cemetery and behind the medina to help walk off some of the lovely food we’d just consumed. There are places to sit and take a rest along the Corniche with views out to the shimmering afternoon sea.

#9. Head To The Old Town At Night

If you fancy leaving your hotel in the evening and are centrally based, post dinner, why not hang out near the Mermaids Statue area which fills up with locals and visitors at night. The atmosphere is pretty lively and you get to see the coastline glistening with lights in the far distance.. Many cafes are also open for drinks and sweet treats.

#10. Watch the sunset at Marina Yasmine Hammamet

Why not end the day by taking a taxi to Marina Yasmine Hammamet with a long coastline, perfect to walk along, see the sail boats and yachts and end the evening by watching a romantic sunset. There are many restaurants and cafes here to grab some food if you’re hungry. It’s possible to go on a private sunset cruise from the marina; just look out for the signs, which generally operate in the summer months.

Be-lavie Tip: The majority of restaurants and cafes in Marina Yasmine do not serve alcohol.

Day 2: Morning

Today we’d recommend having a slow day relaxing at your hotel like we did, alternatively you may chose to take advantage of the wellness and spa facilities in Hammamet, such as Bio Azur Thalassa or Hasdrubal Thalassa & Spa.

#11 Spend the morning relaxing at Bio Azur Thalasso

Winter is the ideal season to experience Hammamet’s wellness culture that uses seawater, algae, and natural treatments rooted in Tunisian tradition. Treat yourself to warm pools, steam rooms, and all with sea air and views of the turquoise Mediterranean.

A half or full day at the spa includes complimentary herbal tea as well as access to a gym, seawater pool, jacuzzi and a choice of treatments. Book into one of the many treatments on offer, such as Thalgo facials or various massages, such as Ayurvedic or Californian, to mention a couple. Check out their energising organic treatments or opt for simple bundles like manicures and pedicures.

The spa has a great juice bar, and they have options to have a buffet lunch if you’re feeling like some sustenance.

#12. Get A Culture Fix at George Sebastian House

The Dar Sebastian is the International Cultural Centre of Hammamet. George Sebastain was a Romanian architect who lived in the villa, dating back to the 1920’s.

Now being the International Cultural Centre, the house hosts many cultural events such as exhibitions and concerts. It’s a lovely house and garden to stroll through and admire the decor, which features many stunning antique pieces from the twentieth century.

Where to Eat in Hammamet

Apart from Chez Achour for delicious lunch and dinner options, Café Sidi Bou Hdid for coffee and snacks, and Mister Ben, a local haunt for the best croissants in town. Another locally owned restaurant, that’s popular with sea views, is Le Berberousse, which can also accommodate vegetarian food upon request. Oh and Bel Canto is the place for Pizza in town!

At the Yasmine Marina, Puppet le Bar is perfect for relaxed Mediterranean-style small plates or La Bella Marina, which features delicious Italian comfort food like pasta and pizza plus it has some great marina views.

We had a wonderful meal at the Modern Mediterranean Restaurant at our hotel, La Badira. If you’re not staying here, it’s possible to make reservations to dine here for the evening. The food is great for vegan and vegetarian diets. They had some great vegetable gyozos, spinach and ricotta tortellini, as well as a delicious apple tarte tatin. The wine selection was also really good, with a nice selection of Tunisian Red varieties.

Day 3: Take a Day Trip From Hammamet

If you fancy taking a day trip to explore some of the surrounding area, we’d suggest taking an organised tour with a local guide.

We’ve listed some of the places we visited throughout our trip to Tunisia and we think are worthy of a day trip from Hammamet:

Carthage, Tunis, Sidi Bou Said.
Zaghouan.
Kairouan.
El Djem Amphitheatre.

Carthage, Tunis Medina, Sidi Boy Said

Heading to Ancient Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, Tunis Medina is a popular trip that many people take. It’s easy to do from Hammamet. It’s a history packed day and covers a selection of Punic sites in UNESCO World Heritage listed Carthage before heading to the bustling Tunis Medina and then finally to the coastal town of Sidi Bou Said. Read more about the destinations in this tour in our 14 day Tunisia Itinerary. If you’re limited for time, then this is a great taster. Tunis is just under an hour away from Hammamet.

Zaghouan

Around 90 minutes from Hammamet, Zaghouan is located under the peak of one of Tunisia’s spell binding mountains. Zaghouan was where a long Roman aqueduct of 132 Km in length started. It has been hailed as a feat of Roman engineering and took Zaghouan’s fresh mountain waters to Carthage. When we arrived in the middle of the day, there were only a handful of people, mainly locals, which made for a really pleasant, leisurely visit. We walked right up to the ‘Water Temple’, or Nymhaeum, built in the 2nd century AD and had a chance to walk above the complex for a birds eye view.

MAUSOLEUM OF SIDI ABID AL-GHARIYANI & A CARPET SHOP

The city dates back to 670 AD and was the capital of the Aghlabid empire in the 9th Century. One of the best things to do in Kairouan is to visit the medina and souqs via the main entrance of the Citadel. We enjoyed walking through the archways that led out onto squares populated by fruit sellers. It’s a really great place to see the locals shopping and hanging out. We also headed to the elaborate Mausoleum of Sidi Abid Al-Ghariyani, built in the 8th century in the middle of the medina.

Spot the Mosque of the Three Doors, which is elaborately decorated. Take note of the artisan craftsmen and women in the souq weaving shawls and carpets.

El Djem Amphitheatre

It’s not surprising that the El Djem Amphitheatre is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city’s modern name actually means, ‘the place where the lions hide’ in Arabic. Walking around the amphitheatre is absolutely mind blowing, there were no crowds during our visit, and it’s in a better state of preservation than the Colosseum in Rome. It could once seat around 30,000 spectators. The large outer walls are three stories high with subterranean chambers and dungeons, which is where wild animals and criminals, gladiators, stayed before being delivered into the arena.
