Cenizaro Hotels & Resorts welcomes you to their latest oasis, The Residence Douz, opening its doors as the brand’s second property in Tunisia and their inaugural desert resort. Nestled amidst the enchanting Sahara landscape, this luxurious retreat comprises 50 elegant villas, two gourmet restaurants, and a sprawling Spa by Clarins, all sprawled across 14 hectares of rolling dunes.

Situated in southern Tunisia, The Residence Douz offers travelers a sublime escape, where modern luxury harmonizes with timeless elegance. Surrounded by a serene palm oasis, the resort encourages guests to dream peacefully under a starry sky, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The villas and communal areas feature local artwork, hand-woven carpets, and private terraces, embracing Tunisia’s rich design and aesthetics.

While the resort promises unparalleled comfort and seclusion, it also serves as a gateway to explore the desert's wonders. Guests can embark on excursions organized by guest ambassadors, including jeep, camel, or quadbike rides to UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Visit the famed village of Matmata, known for its troglodyte houses featured in Star Wars, or indulge in a luxury camping experience in Tembaine. Traverse the dunes in 4x4s, pass through Jebil Park to spot protected Saharan species, and dine under the stars at sunset. Don't miss the captivating Tamerza, an abandoned village with a towering waterfall and canyon, all part of a full-day excursion that includes a tour of a former Berber fortress, Ksar Beni Alssa, and a visit to the mountains of Toujane.

Tunisia’s diverse culture finds expression in The Residence Douz's dining experiences, offering both Arabic delicacies and Mediterranean elegance. Whether indulging in fine dining or savoring comfort food, guests can embark on a culinary journey. The resort is also home to Cenizaro's Earth Basket initiative, featuring an organic farm and nursery cultivating local vegetables, spices, and herbs. The Mud House, nestled in the resort's heart, offers workshops on sustainable farming practices, ancient crafts, and traditional Tunisian customs.

After days spent in the desert heat, The Residence Douz’s Spa by Clarins provides a sanctuary for the soul. The tranquil space boasts a large hammam, eight treatment rooms, two scrub rooms, an indoor pool, traditional Moorish Baths, and an opulent lounge. Indulge in signature treatments inspired by the surrounding nature, featuring indigenous ingredients.

Following in the footsteps of The Residence Tunis, a beloved luxury destination in northern Tunisia since 1996, The Residence Douz demonstrates Cenizaro Hotels and Resorts' commitment to this culturally rich destination. The brand now offers two unique experiences, allowing guests to seamlessly transition from the coast to the desert, uncovering the many treasures of Tunisia.
