Situated in the middle of a vast expanse of open desert in southern Tunisia, the New Scirocco resort is an oasis of luxury. This resort is sited on top of the original Scirocco (the “Suruq”), a hotel built for travelers centuries ago, but buried under sand carried by the wind that bore its name.

Wandering through the dunes surrounding the property you can encounter half-buried buildings from the original Suruq, explore the ancient desert architecture, and imagine what life was like for the travelers who came before you. They thirsted and hungered, were weary from crossing the vast desert, and to them the Suruq hotel, and the nearby oasis, represented life. To you, this 5-star appointed resort will bring you luxury and protection from the harshness of the desert surroundings.

Nestled within and on top of dunes, and embracing a palm-filled oasis, each individual building embraces traditional Tunisian architectural elements. An indoor-outdoor spa combines with the natural elements of the oasis, such that you can enjoy the hot dry air or retreat to indoor rooms when the mood suits.

The Scirocco is named for the fabled wind of the region that the locals both praise and curse. It brings life and death. Winds originate over the Mediterranean and swoop down across the desert bathing the life hidden among the dunes with nourishing moisture. But as they pick up speed, the skies turn red and storms scour the surface with stinging sand. When these winds descend, the New Scirocco becomes more than just a literal oasis in the desert, it becomes a figurative oasis for your soul, protecting you from the storms of sand and of life.
