La Badira

La Badira — One of the Best Hotels I’ve Tried in Tunisia La Badira is genuinely a high-level hotel. I would especially like to highlight the excellent SPA and the rooms: they are spacious, clean, beautiful and very comfortable. Overall, you can really feel the attention to detail and the high standard of service. Among the small drawbacks, the first thing I would mention is the absence of a toilet directly on the beach. This is especially surprising considering that there is a Beach Grill Bar there. Surely it would be possible to provide at least one restroom near the bar for beach guests? At the moment, you have to walk quite far back into the main hotel building, which is simply inconvenient. Another point concerns the condition of the beach early in the morning. When I arrived at around 7:00 a.m., there was still rubbish from the previous day in the bins, some water bottles had been left around, and the sun loungers were arranged rather untidily. There was almost no staff on the beach at that time. In addition, it is impossible to find beach towels at 7:00 a.m., so we had to take them the evening before. However, I would especially like to mention the lifeguard named Bilel. When I returned to the beach after breakfast and brought the situation to his attention, he reacted immediately and very politely. He cleared away the rubbish, put everything in order and also walked along the beach collecting anything else that had been left behind. It is very pleasant to see such a professional and responsive attitude towards guests’ comments. The beach itself is comfortable, and the Wi-Fi works very well even by the sea. The beach towels are large and fully cover the sun loungers. One very small technical detail is the tap for washing sand off your feet. The water flow is too short and narrow, so to wash your feet properly you almost have to press your foot right up against the stand where the tap is installed. I think this could easily be improved by replacing it with a more convenient model that provides a stronger and wider spray of water. There are almost always plenty of free sun loungers on the beach, as many guests seem to prefer the pool. Perhaps one of the reasons is that the service around the pool is more active. Waiters come by less frequently on the beach, although service is still available and you can order water, fruit, drinks or food. Another small point is the lack of sports facilities. I did not see any tennis or padel courts, or even a beach volleyball area. Of course, this is not a major drawback, but for a hotel of this level, adding at least a beach volleyball court — and ideally some tennis or padel facilities — would make the overall experience even better. Breakfast deserves special praise. It is excellent. The selection is not enormous, but there is everything you need, the products are of good quality, and the organisation is particularly impressive. The staff are very attentive and friendly: they regularly come over to ask whether everything is fine or whether you need anything, they clear dishes quickly, and they always have a smile. What surprised me most was that even when the hotel is fully occupied, the breakfast restaurant during the busiest period, roughly between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m., still looks only about half full. There is no rush and almost no queuing. Even at the egg station, there are usually only one or two people waiting. I do not know how they manage the flow of guests so efficiently, but it really works. Another seemingly small detail that pleasantly surprised me was that the table was already properly set with normal cutlery — a knife, fork and small spoon. Surprisingly, in some of the previous hotels where we stayed, even something this basic was missing. Yet it is exactly these small details that help create the feeling of good service and a comfortable stay. I also really liked the evening room service. A hotel employee comes by and asks whether you need fresh towels, water, soap or any other small essentials. It may sound like a minor detail, but this kind of attention is genuinely pleasant and says a lot about how the hotel treats its guests. Another small drawback is the timing of the room cleaning. Our room was only cleaned at around 3:40 p.m., which in my opinion is rather late for a hotel of this standard. As for dinner, the hotel offers a choice of two restaurants: one serving international cuisine and the other traditional Tunisian cuisine. We had dinner at the international restaurant. The service was very good, the food was delicious, and the prices were quite reasonable for a restaurant and hotel of this level. But everything mentioned above really consists only of minor observations and does not change the overall impression. For me, La Badira is currently one of the best hotels I have tried in Tunisia, and so far it remains number one. Beautiful rooms, an excellent SPA, a peaceful atmosphere, a high-quality breakfast, a good restaurant, wonderful staff and genuine attention to detail. A very worthy hotel. Well done!

I wanted to leave a glowing reference following our stay at hotel La Badira in Hammamet in april 26. I was with my little sister ( Peggy and Ketty :-) , and we had decided to come here specifically after readig the very good reviews and looking at the hotel amenities on their website..We were not disappointed : the place is very welcoming and clean , the inside pool is fantastic, the outside one very pleasant and the whole environment fabulous. A special mention to the staff at reception, restaurant especially breakfast , and housekeeping who made our stay really memorable thanks to their kindness and attention. I want to take this opportunity to give a shout out to Reis , Lobna, Kawlha and Walid who went out of their way to make our stay such a precious one. Finally, I highly recommend the Clarins spa -the hammam and massages left us feeling brand new :-)

A truly wonderful experience at La Badira! The hotel is beautiful, elegant, and peaceful, with exceptional service throughout. A special mention to Maher at the reception — professional, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. He made us feel truly valued and went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. La Badira will definitely be my next destination, and I can’t wait to come back! ❤️ Highly recommended!

Phenomenal hotel, loved my stay there. The accommodations and beach were top notch. Staff seemed pretty confused I was visiting alone as a solo woman traveler 😂 pretty sure I was the only one at the resort. Front desk staff, morning buffet and gym staff were amazing- very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Rooms and whole hotel was beautiful, clean and beds extremely comfy. Beach was wonderful. Guest rooms should have latches on inside for additional security, and it would be great if the pool area could play better music…was kind of depressing elevator tunes lol. Otherwise, definitely worth the splurge, it would go again in a heartbeat!
