Situated on Tunisia’s "Gold Coast", within easy reach of its most exclusive resort, Port El Kantaoui, This beachside development situated conveniently between two of Tunisia’s busiest airports offering direct and inexpensive flights to major European cities. The development itself comprises of studios, one, two and three bed apartments in a low rise setting in a prime residential area close to all facilities including a 36-hole golf course, marina and restaurants. The resort is directly located next to glorious white sandy beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see. The resort offers on-site world class Thallasso Spa facilities including an indoor swimming pool, Turkish baths, a sauna, gymnasium and beauty & massage treatment rooms with discounts for residents. One can enjoy a massage on the exclusive private beach set aside for residents only or play a round of golf at the finest African golf courses located on your doorstep. The Dunes is a gated 5 star resort offering 24hr security and concierge facilities as well as on site amenities including a restaurant, snack bar, supermarket, bank, bakery and a rental management company. Rental income is very high in this region due to the strength of the local, neighbouring and European markets.

Having holidayed in Port El Kantoui for the last few years i can see great potential in the property market here. With low prices, good flights from the UK and a majority of other European countries, Fantastic beaches and lots of golf courses, this is going to be an excellent market.

The government is also very strict on the developers/builders and all client monies are kept in Escrow accounts and released in small increments to the developers/builders (This is the law in Tunisia). This ensures your money is very safe and in one of the largest banks in Tunisia.

I have just returned from Tunisia visiting the development and having a holiday and I have to say I was very impressed with the finishing, it is top quality. I have attached some photographs of the development and I have lots more of the golf course, roads, marina etc… if anyone would like them please let me know.

The actual show apartment is not next door to The Dunes, it is part of it. The front where the shops are with apartments above, see artists images attached and compare to the actual photographs, there are lifts at each side of the building and each hallway has a fantastic mosaic picture among the marbled floors. It really is the best building along the road and really stands out; most developments and buildings are painted white. All rooms have coving fitted and the walls in the kitchen look like marble, they are so smooth, the kitchens have in-built ovens and fridge freezers as standard. Even the lifts are special, the ceilings have been decorated and the mirrors inside have the French name of the development La Dous engraved in them.



The beach is about 200m and once cleaned up will be excellent with shallow water for children and there will be sun beds and umbrellas. This will be a private beach for The Dunes and also the properties you can see beyond The Dunes going down towards the beach, this is also by the same builder. I was told some Tunisian footballers have bought there.



I walked from the Marina/Golf course and it took me 40mins however going back I got a taxi to see how much it would cost and it was less than £2.50 so as far as location is concerned very good. Yes it is further out than the big hotels but that is the way the resort is spreading and as all towns/resorts do to keep up the demand for accommodation. Although the Marina and golf courses were 40mins away it was only 10 minutes to restaurants, bars and supermarkets, with many smaller shops even closer.



The hotel I was in was very busy and there were lots of people in the resort of EL Kantaoui with the golf courses full, there were British, Germans, French, Danes and several Tunisian families on holiday. I think giving them the chance to have a self catering holiday with the use of a kitchen will be very appealing to people looking to rent them out.
