Bask in the Coasts of Tunisia's Sidi Bou Said at Dar Said Hotel

The Scene is Set

Where the very spirit of relaxation is gently caressed by serene views of the Mediterranean’s Gulf of Tunis, sea spray sprinkles through the air, landing gently atop cobbled streets lined with dreamlike diars in heavenly whites and blues. Artists roam wild finding their muses within the charming Tunisian town of Sidi Bou Said, where Dar Said Hotel’s doors grant a delicate and decorous recess from the worries of life.

Tucked away in the picturesque Sidi Bou Said, Dar Said Hotel transports you to an era of quiet tranquillity with a simple calming aesthetic adorned with accents of cobalt and azure that mingle effortlessly with the surrounding charm of this famed Tunisian artists' village.

Amidst The Embrace of Dar Said’s Walls

Stepping inside, a distinctive blend of traditional Tunisian and modern comforts serenades your senses through zelij tiled floors in intricate geometric designs, arched alcoves framing stunning sea views, and verdant gardens with vibrant shades of reds and lilacs spread throughout, perfect for relaxing after a day spent wandering the streets of Sidi Bou Said.

The Rooms 

The rooms at Dar Said Hotel provide a sensual escape; tiled floors in intricate mosaic patterns underfoot lead the eye upward to arched alcoves gently framing panoramas of the sparkling Gulf of Tunis. Plush furnishings in light subdued earth tones invite rest and respite, softening the edges of day-to-day rigours, and four-poster beds swathed in fine linens offer a cloud-like surface from which to watch the sway of trees in the garden below or glimpse the play of light upon the sea and sky.

Alfresco by The Bay

And what better way to start off your day than a meticulously curated spread of breakfast items enjoyed outdoors? Sights and sounds of Sidi Bou Said bless the background as you indulge in succulent fruit freshly picked, jams spread on hot flaky croissants, and succulent egg dishes prepared to perfection with a side of vegetables, all brought together in a splendid harmony of taste with an aromatic cup of coffee, all amidst the company of the sky and the sea.

Come evening, alfresco dining presents Mediterranean cuisine enjoyed by the fiery hues of sunset that later give way to lingering scattered stars adorning the night sky.

The Vibrant Artistic Outpost That is Sidi Bou Said

Reminiscent of the sensual Santorini, Sidi Bou Said charms with its evocative aesthetic and vibrant artistic culture. Artists and artisans have long called Sidi Bou Said home, drawn by the town's magical atmosphere and Mediterranean light that seems to breathe life into colours. Galleries and artisan workshops line the winding streets, showcasing the works of Tunisian artists across mediums from painting and sculpture to glasswork and textiles. 

The seafront hosts an active cultural calendar year-round with events, galleries and installations that spill out into the town's squares and courtyards. Dar Said Hotel offers a front-row seat to this enchanting artistic enclave, perfectly positioned to immerse you in the undeniable bohemian chic and captivating aesthetics that draw creative souls to this inspiring North African village by the sea.

A Home Away From Home

With its 24-hour reception and service, Dar Said Hotel also offers the familiar comforts of home, yet it is the distinctive melding of royal blues, verdant gardens and mesmerising seascapes that draw you back time and again for a dreamy Tunisian interlude amidst the graceful village of Sidi Bou Said. 

Just as beautiful as the postcard perfect Cycladic villages of Santorini, Sidi Bou Said beckons visitors with its Mediterranean blue trim and labyrinthine alleyways - though at a fraction of the cost of its pricey Greek counterpart.
