The Iberostar Selection Kantaoui Bay sits directly on the Mediterranean coast in Sousse's Port El Kantaoui marina area — a planned resort development an hour from Monastir airport and around 25 km from Enfidha-Hammamet airport. Opened in 1994 and renovated in 2015, the property covers 356–365 rooms across a beachfront layout, with direct access to a fine golden sand beach.
Tunisia occupies a specific niche in the all-inclusive market: comparable facilities at significantly lower price points than Spain, Greece, or the Caribbean, with a North African cultural dimension that differentiates it from standard European beach resorts. The Kantaoui Bay property runs consistently at a high operational standard for the Tunisian market, with strong food variety reviews and a thalassotherapy spa that would stand out in any market.
The wellness center — variously called Spa Sensations or Les Nereides — is the most commercially distinctive amenity. A heated indoor seawater pool, hydromassage area, hammam, sauna, and Jacuzzi form a thalassotherapy circuit that goes beyond what most beach resorts offer. This draws guests specifically looking for a wellness-forward Mediterranean holiday.
The Star Camp children's program serves ages 4–12 in two groups (Monkey 4–7, Dolphin 8–12) with a structured daily program. Adults-only areas provide separation for guests who want quiet time. The property caters to both demographics without fully committing to either — a reasonable middle ground for families with a mix of ages.
Four pools including an adults-only pool with sea views. The beach delivers on the description — golden sand, regularly cleaned, with umbrellas and sunbeds included. Mediterranean sea access is warm from June through October.
