An oasis town at the edge of the Sahara Desert, Tozeur in southwest Tunisia is known as much for its groves of date palms as for its distinctive ocher-hued architecture, most evident in the city’s 14th-century medina.
Now, there’s another reason to visit: Anantara Tozeur Resort. With 93 guest rooms and villas designed in a fusion of Moorish and Berber styles, Anantara’s first North African property will bring a new level of luxury to the area, counting a full-service spa and hammam among its facilities alongside six food and beverage venues, three swimming pools, and a souk area featuring local artisans, musicians, and belly dancers.
Guests looking to explore farther afield can head into the Sahara on camelback or quad bike; attractions include salt flats, abandoned villages, and the sites where scenes from Star Wars: A New Hope and Raiders of the Lost Ark were filmed. It all makes for a suitably cinematic backdrop to this intimate desert retreat.
