La Badira

La Badira is the Hammamet hotel for a grown-up stay: 130 suites reserved for guests aged 16 and over, all facing the bay, on a small headland north of the resort. It is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, or LHW, an international network of independent luxury hotels, and it is the highest-rated of our Cap Bon hotels, at 4.7 out of 5 on Tripadvisor (2,672 reviews).

Suites only, from 45 m²

La Badira has suites only, decorated in an Oriental style drawing on local craftsmanship, in shades of white and beige. The range falls into three levels. The 45 m² suites make up most of the hotel: the view of the Bay of Hammamet is what sets them apart, and only the Suite Yasmine has a bathtub, the Fell suites having a shower open to the bedroom. For a honeymoon or an anniversary, the Suite Nour adds a living room and a terrace with an outdoor hot tub above the sea. The six Legend suites, each dedicated to a figure linked to Hammamet (Leïla Menchari, Claudia Cardinale, Jean Cocteau, Georges Sebastian, Wallis Simpson and Paul Klee), are for a once-in-a-lifetime stay; the Suite Claudia Cardinale has its own private pool above the sea.

Chef Ramzi Bouguila's kitchen

The kitchen is led by chef Ramzi Bouguila. The hotel has three restaurants and a bar:

• Kamilah, open from noon to midnight, local time;
• Adra, closed on Mondays;
• the Beach Grill, on the beach, from June to September only;
• the Pool Bar, by the pool.

The hotel publishes a dress code for its restaurants, which Sabaro sends with your confirmation.

Spa by Clarins and two pools

The Spa by Clarins brings together treatment rooms, hammams, a fitness room, a herbal-tea room, a hair salon, pedicure and a nail bar. Its heated, semi-covered indoor pool faces the sea, and makes swimming possible from November to April. The large infinity pool looks out over the Bay of Hammamet. See also spa and wellness.

What changes with the seasons

The hotel is open all year; only the Beach Grill is seasonal, from June to September. The sea is warmest from June to October: around Hammamet, its average temperature rises from 22.5 °C in June to 27 °C in August and stays above 24 °C in October; it is 15-16 °C from January to April. In winter, daytime highs are 16-18 °C, and the hotel presents its Legend suites, including the Claudia Cardinale with its fireplace, as made for fireside evenings. In July and August, the Hammamet International Festival stages its shows in the amphitheatre of Dar Sebastian.

Location

The hotel occupies a small headland in Hammamet Nord. Enfidha-Hammamet airport is about 55 km away, and Tunis-Carthage about 75 km, an hour's drive on the motorway. The Hammamet medina and its kasbah, open 8.30 am-6 pm in winter for TND 8, about €2.40, and Dar Sebastian, the 1920s villa that is now an international cultural centre, make a half-day visit. Neighbouring Nabeul has an archaeological museum rich in Roman mosaics from ancient Neapolis. For the region, see our Hammamet and Cap Bon page.

Prices

In October 2026, for two nights in March 2027, the cheapest suite was offered at about €115 a night for two adults, breakfast included, with free cancellation, all taxes included. Tourist tax is extra and paid at the hotel: TND 12 per person per night, about €3.60, for up to ten nights, or TND 24 a night for a couple, about €7.
