All-inclusive Djerba holidays

The island of Djerba was discovered in antiquity. It appears in Homer's tales as the island of the Lotus-Eaters. Historians reveal the island bore various names, including Brachion in writings about the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax. Herodotus called it Phlâ, while Latin writers knew it as Meninx. Djerba received its current name — or the variation Girba — at the end of the Roman period.

In south-east Tunisia, Djerba and its surroundings reveal almost cinematic landscapes. Head to Gabès, just 2.5 hours from Club Med Djerba La Douce resort.

In the heart of the desert, you discover an oasis with lush vegetation, bordered by the Mediterranean. During your all-inclusive Djerba holidays, let yourself be surprised by the unique village of Matmata. Nestled at 600m above sea level, its troglodyte dwellings carved into the mountainside served as the backdrop for several scenes from the 'Star Wars' saga.

Just like Homer and his heroes enchanted by the island, you feel captivated by the picturesque charm of a stay in Djerba. Start your exploration at the Ghazi Mustapha Fort: a former defensive structure from the 13th century, it offers breathtaking views of the seafront. In just 20 minutes, reach the beautiful city of Houmt Souk.

In the souk, stroll through the winding streets lined with local craft shops, or perhaps enjoy a moment of relaxation at the Sidi Brahim hammam. Your quest for the perfect souvenir takes you to the south of the island, where you discover, during your all-inclusive Djerba holidays, an entire town dedicated to the art of pottery: Guellala.

During your all-inclusive stay, let the landscapes of Djerba's hinterland unfold before you. On an excursion* by quad near Midoun, admire the palm trees and century-old olive groves that line the typical villages of this timeless Tunisia.

Back in town, awaken your palate with the spicy flavours of two local specialities: slata méchouia, a grilled salad with summer scents, or omek houria, a vibrant spicy carrot mixture.

Continue this moment of relaxation with a round of golf at the Djerba Golf Club, just 15 minutes from Club Med Djerba la Douce Resort. Savour, in the heart of a refreshing palm grove, the view of the sea and the scents of acacia.
