About Yasmine Hammamet

Yasmine Hammamet, integrated coastal resort inaugurated in 1995 just 8 km south of Hammamet, is one of Tunisia's most modern destinations. Marina with 740 berths, recreated Ottoman medina, Carthageland theme park (historic rides), casino, 5* hotels, restaurants and bars: Yasmine is the chic, family-friendly side of Tunisian tourism.

📜 History of Yasmine Hammamet

Antiquity

The Yasmine area was initially a wild beach south of Hammamet, planted with oleanders and jasmines (yasmin = jasmine). The integrated resort project was born in the 1980s as part of Tunisia's tourism development plan. Inaugurated in 1995, Yasmine Hammamet is the Maghreb's first integrated resort: planned urban design, recreated medina, marina, grouped hotels.

Medieval and Islamic Period

Carthageland theme park opens in 1998 with thematic rides on Tunisian history (Hannibal, Carthage). The recreated medina houses souks, restaurants, mosque and hotels. Today, Yasmine welcomes 60% of tourists to the Hammamet region and has become the benchmark for upscale Tunisian coastal tourism.
