Port El Kantaoui Holidays
All inclusive holidays in Port El Kantaoui
The picturesque holiday village of Port El Kantaoui, on the Tunisian coast, looks as if it belongs on a period film set. However, it is a purpose-built modern resort, specialising in family holidays and last minute breaks in a relaxed and exclusive setting. The fact that the “mediaeval” marina and Moorish architecture is modern doesn’t matter – the look is perfect for the kind of holidays that British people are looking for: exotic, yet familiar.
El Kantaoui is chic, yet affordable; one of many purpose built holiday resorts that have sprung up in recent years to boost the Tunisian tourist trade. Accommodation centres on the spectacular marina, which can house over 300 vessels, and the two magnificent white beaches.
Although El Kantaoui looks chic, it isn’t necessarily expensive. Tunisia is still cheap compared to other exotic destinations, and luxury all inclusive holidays here can cost the same as basic self-catering accommodation elsewhere. By booking last minute breaks the savings can be enormous – especially if you choose us at Future Travel.
Modern family holidays with traditional old world charm
Whoever designed the El Kantaoui complex had a lot of influence from outside sources – predominantly, the mediaeval architects of towns such as Monastir. The cobblestone “mediaeval” medina is a perfect reproduction of the real thing, right down to the local craft stalls and rug sellers.
However, sellers here are more resistant to haggling than some other places. For this reason, people booking family breaks here often do their shopping in nearby Sousse, where the bazaars are genuinely old. Most all inclusive holidays include excursions to the Sousse markets at least once a week.
Family breaks with a range of activities
There are all inclusive holidays with a full range of water sports and excursions, ideal for couples or families. From the marina you can book glass-bottomed boat, fishing and dolphin watching excursions, or even charter a sailing yacht if you want!.
Between Sousse and El Kantaoui you will find golf courses, beach camel rides, pony trekking and much else besides.
Despite being Muslim, El Kantaoui has a hospitable and relaxed approach to alcohol, and there’s no shortage of bars and licensed restaurants, especially around the marina. The restaurants are high quality and serve a pleasing mixture of local and cosmopolitan cuisine.
El Kantaoui is the perfect resort for those wanting all inclusive holidays away from the “sun-and-Sangria” image of other destinations. We at Future Travel have last minute breaks to suit every pocket.
