The property
An exceptional estate in the heart of the most unspoiled Mediterranean
At the northwestern tip of Chergui Island, in the authentic village of Bounouma , this exceptional estate embodies the Mediterranean art of living in its rarest and most genuine form. Located just 30 meters from the beach , it offers direct access to crystal-clear turquoise waters, in a completely unspoiled natural environment. The estate spans over 5,000 m² of landscaped grounds , a subtle blend of traditional Kerkennian architecture and top-of-the-line contemporary amenities. Two independent villas—a large villa of 320 m² and a secondary villa of 160 m² —form a cohesive, functional, and elegant ensemble, designed to welcome family, friends, or guests in optimal conditions. Each space has been designed to interact with the sea and nature: the terraces extend the living spaces to the outside, the rooftop opens onto a 360° panorama of the Mediterranean and the islets of Sefnou and Chermedia , while the fruit garden — fig trees, vines, olive trees, pomegranate trees, date palms, aromatic herbs — offers the sweetness of a nourishing and living space. The property is fully equipped and immediately operational : reversible air conditioning, 140cm 4K TV, Siemens appliances, marble finishes, memory foam mattress, walk-in shower, alarm, video surveillance, and covered parking. A level of service rarely found in the archipelago, designed down to the smallest detail.

A rare find in a rare archipelago — the combination of two independent villas, a 5,000 m² garden and direct access to the sea makes this property one of the most exceptional on the Mediterranean market.

A 5,000 m² garden between the sea and nature
The landscaped grounds of over 5,000 m² are one of the estate's most remarkable assets. Flat, green and fertile, they extend from the villas to the beach, creating a natural transition between architecture and the Mediterranean. The fruit garden is home to iconic Mediterranean species: fig trees, grapevines, olive trees, pomegranate trees, and date palms , complemented by aromatic herbs—mint and thyme—that fill the air with their characteristic fragrance. A vibrant and bountiful setting, the result of careful tending. Around the 12m x 6m , the relaxation areas are designed for socializing: sun loungers, outdoor showers, and shaded terraces. The pétanque court and archery range add a fun and family-friendly dimension to the resort.

Picking figs in the early morning, diving into the pool facing the sea, watching the sun set over the islets from the rooftop — the Kerkennian way of life in all its authenticity.

The archipelago
Kerkennah — The island that time has spared
Twenty kilometers off the coast of Sfax , in the Gulf of Gabès, the Kerkennah archipelago forms a world apart—a constellation of flat, unspoiled islands where time seems to stand still. Two main inhabited islands, Gharbi and Chergui, are linked by an ancient causeway that existed as far back as Roman times. A population of 15,000 inhabitants is proud of its roots, attached to its traditions and to the sea that has always sustained them. Kerkennah is known to lovers of the authentic Mediterranean for the exceptional clarity of its waters —shallow, turquoise, and remarkably calm—and for the quality of its light. Here, there is no mass tourism, no concrete. Palm trees, olive trees, and feluccas sailing on an endless horizon. Fishing is at the heart of Kerkennah's identity. The ancestral technique of the Charfia —fixed traps in shallow waters, dating back to antiquity—is passed down from generation to generation. At sunrise, the fishermen head out to haul in their lobster pots on their sailing feluccas. This daily spectacle, offered free of charge from your terrace, is priceless.

No language can describe the beauty, grandeur, and charm of these islands. You feel completely removed from the world.

Kerkennah cuisine is an experience in itself. Octopus couscous, fresh morning fish—sea bream, mullet, sea bream—lobsters, stuffed squid: the islands' cuisine relies on absolutely fresh ingredients, enhanced by traditional recipes passed down from mother to daughter. The island's restaurants, simple and authentic, are renowned for their generous portions. The culture and heritage of the archipelago can be discovered through its traditional festivals, its Kerkennian weddings that last three days and three nights, and its folk performances with Andalusian, Ottoman, and Latin influences. The Museum of Mediterranean Island Heritage in El Abbassia testifies to the rich history of these islands. For lovers of water sports and outdoor activities, Kerkennah offers an exceptional playground: felucca fishing , scuba diving, bicycle rentals to explore the 35 km of the main road, windsurfing, and hikes on deserted beaches. A way of life in the great outdoors, far from the hustle and bustle of the world. Things to see & do
  • Fishing from a felucca and sea excursions
  • Scuba diving
  • Bike tour — island tour 35 km
  • Visit to Fort El Hsar (Roman ruins)
  • Museum of Mediterranean Island Heritage
  • Traditional weaving and embroidery workshop
  • Kerkennian folk shows
  • Traditional 3-day weddings (depending on the season)
  • Water sports — 10 km
  • Windsurfing and kayaking
Access & Proximity
How to get to Kerkennah
From France & Europe: The most direct connection from France is via Sfax-Thyna International Airport or, for direct international flights, via Tunis-Carthage . From Tunis, the road to Sfax is 270 km (a comfortable 3-hour drive). From Sfax, the Cotunav ferry provides regular service to the archipelago—the crossing takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes and accommodates vehicles. Arriving there is already part of the journey. Monastir Habib Bourguiba Airport Djerba-Zarzis Airport is an option for travelers from the south.
The Sfax → Kerkennah ferry: The Cotunav ferry connects the port of Sfax to the Kerkennah archipelago several times a day. The 1 hour 15 minute is an experience in itself—the sea gradually unfolds, islets appear, and fishing feluccas pass alongside the boat. Vehicles are permitted on board, allowing free movement around the island upon arrival. Bringing your own car is highly recommended for exploring the archipelago.

Heritage opportunity
A rare investment in a developing market

The estate is fully operational —facilities in place, established clientele, and a reputation built on several international platforms. A buyer can consider immediate occupancy, whether for personal use or for seasonal rental investment.
