Anantara has launched its debut in North Africa, opening Anantara Tozeur Resort, in southwest Tunisia.
Located in the heart of the Sahara desert, the 93-room resort includes five dining options, a kid’s club, two floodlit tennis courts and a fitness club.
The resort is also home to an Anantara Spa with six treatment rooms and a marble-lined hammam. The spa menu offers massage therapies, detox treatments and hammam rituals, which will be supplied by Maison D’Asa.
French brand RKF Luxury Linen was also brought on board by Anantara to design the resort’s linen.
The interior is inspired by Arabian and North African designs with North African furnishings, materials, textures and desert colours decorating rooms with details chosen to highlight Tunisia’s heritage.
The resort is offering guests a varied range of cultural excursions including desert safaris, local date tastings, guided quad bike desert adventures, camel-back treks and guided tours of Tozeur’s Medina and abandoned 14th-century villages.
In addition, Anantara’s offering also caters for film enthusiasts, as Tozeur was the backdrop to numerous scenes from the original Star Wars film. Anantara has organised special programmes to allow guests to explore the sites
Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels – Anantara’s parent company – said: “We’re so proud to debut our luxury brand in North Africa with the launch of this spectacular desert resort in Tunisia. Anantara Tozeur is truly a world-class resort and will bring new levels of Arabian hospitality and luxury to this stunning country.”
