WellFit Active Tennis & Fitness Week at Djerba Bahiya, Tunisia

ROBINSON DJERBA BAHIYA sits directly on a fine sandy beach on the island of Djerba, off the south-east coast of Tunisia. The property is laid out with gardens, a large pool, and rooms designed in a local North African style. It's a club resort, which means most of what you eat, drink and do is already covered by the price you pay up front.

The WellFit Active programme is the sport side of the stay. Tennis is the headline activity — the resort has courts and coaching on site, and the offer is built around a tennis holiday as much as a general one. Alongside that you have the gym for working out, beach volleyball, and the option to book in for golf or horse riding. Surfing is also on offer if you want to get on the water rather than just look at it. The WellFit spa handles the recovery side, and there's a daily entertainment programme if you'd rather be doing something social than training alone.

Food is all inclusive, and Tunisia has its own culinary identity worth eating your way through: grilled fish, slow-cooked stews, couscous, harissa, olive oil, dates and pastries. The resort restaurants cover a range of tastes across the day.

Djerba itself is worth leaving the resort for. The island capital, Houmt Souk, has lively bazaars and the old pirate fort of Bordj el Kebir. Nearby you have the ancient town of Meninx, a subterranean mosque and one of the island's best-known synagogues. Further afield, Tunisia's Roman history is on show at Carthage, and if you grew up on 1970s cinema, tours to the Star Wars and Indiana Jones filming locations are a standard excursion from the island.

The climate is the reason people come here from May to October: reliable sun, warm sea, and dry heat. The milder winter months suit active holidays better. Flights to Djerba take about three hours from London Gatwick direct; from other UK cities you'll usually connect through a European hub. The resort style is relaxed and family-friendly, with supervised activities for children aged three and up, so it works for solo travellers and couples as easily as it does for families.
