Lying on a small headland embraced by olive trees, Skanes is ideal for a sun and surf holiday - offering miles of shimmering, fine sands backed by stylish hotels and lush palm gardens. Ideally located between Sousse and Monastir, Skanes offers the best of both worlds. For beach lovers, Skanes boasts more than 5 kms of soft, almost pure white sand. Most of the day and night activity revolves around the hotels, with their excellent choice of sports and colourful evening entertainment. The nearby 18-hole 'Palm Links' golf course and 'Flamingo' course in Monastir both attract enthusiasts who want to brush up on their handicap. When you feel like exploring, nearby Monastir boasts an intriguing Moorish quarter, a busy marina and waterfront complex complete with shops. You'll also find a Medieval Rabat fortress which was the setting for 'The Life of Brian' and some scenes from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', and Sousse with its big-city bustle is well worth a visit.
