Source : https://sabaro-travel.com/en/hotels/la-cigale-tabarka/ La Cigale Tabarka is the north-west coast hotel for combining golf, thalassotherapy and the beach: 248 rooms, suites and villas in the El Morjane tourist zone, 2 km from the centre of Tabarka, with an 18-hole course, a 2,300 m² seawater treatment centre and a fine sandy beach fringed by pine woods. It is an independent hotel. ## La Cigale Tabarka golf course Golf is the first reason to come. Opened in 1992 and renovated since, the 18-hole, par-72 course measures 6,306 m and winds between forest and sea; the golf club's website links it to the architect Ronald Fream. The course is closed to bookings on some tournament days, on 24-25 October 2026 and on several dates in April and May 2027; March is clear. See our [golf](/en/themes/golf/) page and our [golf and thalasso](/en/guides/golf-thalasso-tunisie/) guide. The hotel also has a sports complex, opened in 2016, with three football pitches and a training and conference centre. ## La Cigale Thalasso & Spa The thalassotherapy centre, devoted to seawater treatments, covers 2,300 m². It has 23 treatment rooms, a prestige suite called Damya, a "Heat Experience" area and a seawater pool in three basins at different temperatures. It also includes a Spa du Monde. See also [spa and wellness](/en/themes/spa-and-wellness/). ## Rooms, suites and villas The range runs from a standard room to a three-bedroom duplex. The rooms differ by the view from their large balcony, mountains or sea, and the suite adds space facing the sea. For a couple, the Signature Villa, with its jacuzzi and lawned sea-facing terrace, is the most private choice; the Duplex Villa, on two levels, sleeps a family or a group of golfers. The hotel also has golf-side, sea-side and hillside villas, and a presidential suite. ## Five restaurants and five bars The restaurants are **Le Corail**, **Le Cigalon**, **Le Marin**, **The Wave** and **Le Basilic**; the bars are **Chasse Piano Bar**, **Delicate**, the **Golf Bar** and **Le Café Maure**, a traditional Tunisian café. The piano bar bills itself as the place for winter evenings by the fire. ## Tabarka, between coral and forest Tabarka is a small town on the north-west coast, known for its Genoese fort, built on an islet linked to the town, from which the Genoese controlled the coral trade in the 16th century. Diving has a long tradition here: renowned sites such as Les Aiguilles, protected corals that may not be collected, and boat trips to nearby coves and the La Galite archipelago. See our [diving](/en/themes/diving/) page. In early July, the [Tabarka Jazz](/en/events/tabarka-jazz/) festival livens up the town; in 2026 it ran from 2 to 9 July. Inland, the Roman site of Bulla Regia, north of Jendouba, is famous for its houses with underground storeys; it is open every day, for TND 8, about €2.40. For the region, see our [Tabarka](/en/tunisia/tabarka/) page. ## Getting there Tabarka-Aïn Draham International Airport is 12 km away, but it only receives seasonal charter flights, from Prague and Poland in 2026. Most guests therefore arrive via Tunis-Carthage airport, about 170 km away: the hotel quotes about two hours' drive from Tunis, and route planners give 2 h 45 without stops for the 171 km from the airport. See our guide to [getting around Tunisia](/en/guides/se-deplacer-tunisie/). ## Seasons The hotel is open all year. The sea is 22 °C in June, 26.6 °C in August and 23 °C in October; from January to April it stays around 15-16 °C. Daytime highs are 21 °C in April, 32 °C in August and 26 °C in October; from December to March they range between 16 and 18.5 °C. ## Safety advice Tabarka is about ten kilometres from the Algerian border. European foreign ministries do not all give the same advice for the town: most do not advise against it, and one states that it may be visited with the usual precautions; another advises against the whole area within 30 km of the border, which includes Tabarka. The Aïn Draham mountains to the south are advised against by some ministries, and the town of Aïn Draham straddles a 5 km border strip that others ask travellers not to enter without an essential reason: Sabaro does not offer excursions there.
