Where the Mountain Meets the Sea
About an hour’s drive from Diar El Horri, on the northern coast of Cap Bon, lies a thermal town unlike any other: Korbous. Clinging to a steep cliff overlooking the Gulf of Tunis, Korbous has been famous since antiquity for its natural hot springs with healing properties.
A Striking Natural Spectacle
The highlight of any visit is undoubtedly Aïn Atrous. Here, thermal water gushes from the rock at over 50°C (122°F), forming a small, steaming waterfall that plunges directly into the cool, blue waters of the Mediterranean. The temperature contrast is striking and offers a moment of intense outdoor relaxation.
The Benefits of Korbous
The waters of Korbous are reputed to treat various ailments (rheumatism, skin problems, respiratory issues). Whether you come for a serious treatment in one of the specialized establishments or simply for a recreational dip in the natural pools by the shore, the benefits are felt instantly.
A Scenic Journey
The trip to Korbous is part of the experience. The coastal road winds between the mountain and the sea, offering spectacular viewpoints. It is the perfect time for:
- Photography: The rocky coves and the infinite blue of the gulf are breathtaking.
- Teaside Springs: Many small cafes along the shore allow you to enjoy mint tea with a stunning view.
Diar El Horri Tip
We suggest leaving in the morning to enjoy the light and the calm of Korbous. After your swim, you can return towards Dar Allouche through the citrus groves of Menzel Bouzelfa for a full day of Cap Bon discovery.
After a relaxing day in Korbous, extend your serenity in the luxurious setting of your Diar El Horri residence.
