La proprietà — la Florida
La Florida is a solid three-star hotel right on Kelibia’s main beachfront. The lobby feels modest but clean, with a small reception desk, a few sofas, and views straight out to the sea. Its USP is the location: you step out and you’re on the sand, with the port and the fortress a short walk away. Best for budget-conscious families or couples who want a no-fuss seaside base rather than luxury amenities.
Cronache di Kelibia
Kelibia began as a Phoenician trading post called Clupea, and later became a Roman colony. The 16th-century fortress on the headland, rebuilt by the Hafsid dynasty and later expanded by the Spanish, dominates the skyline. The town grew around its port, traditionally a fishing and sponge-diving centre, which remains active today. Modern Kelibia is relaxed and residential, known for its clean beaches and the annual July International Festival, which brings music and dance to the fortress. Its contemporary identity blends small-town Tunisian life with a growing tourist economy concentrated along the coast.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Kelibia →I migliori mesi
June and September offer settled heat around 28–30°C with lower humidity and far fewer crowds than July–August. The sea is warm enough for swimming by mid-June.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak season, driven by European summer holidays and the Festival International de Kelibia in late July. Hotel prices can double, and La Florida often reaches full occupancy. The festival itself draws thousands to the fortress for evening concerts.
Stagione di spalla
May and early June, plus September, are the best shoulder months. You’ll find discounts of 20–30% off peak rates, daytime temperatures in the high twenties, and quiet beaches. October also works for lower prices but the sea starts to cool.
Meteo e imballaggio
Kelibia is noticeably windier than inland Tunisian towns, especially in the afternoon, due to its exposed Cap Bon position. Pack a light windproof jacket or cardigan for evening breezes, even in July.
Briefing della città — Kelibia
- The new dual-carriageway between Kelibia and Nabeul is now fully open, cutting driving time from Tunis-Carthage Airport to around 1 hour 40 minutes.
- The Kelibia Marina expansion added 120 new berths in early 2026, improving facilities for private yacht visitors.
- Ramadan finishes on 9 July 2026, so the first week of your stay falls during Eid al-Fitr: expect local shops and restaurants to close for part of the day and increased domestic tourism to the beaches.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to la Florida, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the sea (if the hotel has a sea-facing side). These floors are high enough to reduce street-level noise but low enough for easy stair access if the lift is small or slow.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (noisier from lobby and street) and any room facing the main road or the hotel's entrance/drop-off area—these will catch car and pedestrian noise from Kelibia's coastal road.
Best views
Sea-facing rooms (if available) offer views over the Mediterranean or the town's coastline; otherwise, a side view of the port or marina is decent.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are generally quieter: above street hubbub but not near roof machinery (if any).
🔊 Noise notes
Kelibia's main road can be busy with local traffic and scooters, especially in summer. The hotel entrance or any courtyard-facing rooms may pick up chatter and luggage noise.
Insider tips
1. If you drive, park on the side street rather than directly in front—quieter and less chance of being blocked in. 2. Check-in after 14:00 to avoid room not being ready; request a high floor during check-in if not pre-assigned.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Tunis (Tunis Marine station) → Kelibia (via Nabeul)
💡 Take the TGM train from Tunis to Nabeul (1 hour, 5 TND), then a louage or taxi from Nabeul to Kelibia (30 mins, 3-5 TND combined). This is scenic and avoids the bus chaos. Last train from Nabeul back is around 9pm, so plan accordingly.
Tunis-Carthage Airport (TUN) → Tunis Bab Alioua Louage Station → Maison de Jeunes de Kélibia
💡 Take bus 635 or 20 from airport to Bab Alioua (2.5 TND). Then louage to Kelibia (10–12 TND). The louage drops you at Kelibia main square, a 10-min walk to the hotel.
Kelibia Town Centre (from louage or train stop) → Maison de Jeunes de Kélibia
💡 Local taxis are yellow and unmetered for short hops; agree the fare upfront. Walking from the centre takes 10–15 mins along Avenue Habib Bourguiba—safe and flat.
Tunis (Bab Alioua or Ghazala station) → Kelibia bus station
💡 Buses are cramped and not always on time, but cheap. From Kelibia station, it's a 15-minute taxi (6 TND) to Mansoura. Avoid the noon bus in summer – it's roasting with no AC.
Tunis (Bab Alioua louage station) → Kelibia louage station (near city centre)
💡 Louages are white minibuses – faster than buses, same route. Pay the driver directly. To reach the hotel, take a local taxi from the louage stop (5 TND, 10 mins). Negotiate a price for the taxi part upfront.
Tunis Marine Station (from Tunis centre) → Kelibia Train Station
💡 The train follows the coast and is scenic. From airport, take a taxi or bus to Tunis Marine (20 mins). Station is 1 km from hotel—walk or take a short taxi ride (4 TND). Trains can be late, so don't rush.
Tunis-Carthage Airport (TUN) → Maison de Jeunes de Kélibia
💡 Agree the price before getting in; shared taxis (louages) are cheaper but run fixed routes. For airport, pre-book with a driver via hotel if possible.
Tunis-Carthage Airport (TUN) → Demeure De Charme Pieds Dans L'eau Mansoura, Kelibia
💡 Agree a fixed fare before getting in – ask drivers near the official taxi rank. The drive via the coastal road (GP1 then RR47) avoids the hillier inland route. For a return, book a local driver in Kelibia for the same price.
