Anantara Tozeur Resort

Taking inspiration from the oasis villages that surround, Anantara Tozeur Resort rises up out of the shimmering desert, a contemporary retreat of lush palm trees and meandering swimming pools. Located in the southwest of Tunisia on the edge of the formidable Sahara, the resort provides the perfect base from which to explore.

Lap up the silence of the desert, dining on local cuisine under the stars, enjoying luxury hammam rituals, and luxuriating in private villas. The nearby city of Tozeur is known for its distinctive architecture most evident in its 14^th century medina. Tour the palmerie famous for its date exports by regal horse and carriage. Drive across Chott el Djerid, the Sahara's largest salt lake, that glitters in the sunlight like a mirage. Daytrips across the desert include visits to the abandoned villages of Chebika, Tamerza, and Mides, and the film set of the original Star Wars.
