Between friends, sisters, cousins, mother and daughters — treat yourselves to a stay in Djerba in a setting designed for your freedom and privacy. At Ethic Village Djerba, each villa has a private pool entirely hidden behind high walls and privacy screens. Nobody can see you. You are at home.
The Pool: Your Space of Freedom
This is the argument that changes everything. In a hotel, the pool is shared, eyes are everywhere. Here, your pool is 100% private, with zero overlooking. You swim as you wish, whenever suits you, in complete peace. Swim early before anyone wakes, or at dusk when the light turns gold — these moments belong to you.
The residence is gated and CCTV-monitored, with a caretaker living on site with his family, 24/7. No outside visitor enters without your consent (apart from identified staff: guard, deliveries, technicians). You are in a cocoon of serenity, sheltered from eyes and unwanted attention.
An Alcohol-Free Residence
Ethic Village Djerba is a strictly alcohol-free residence — it’s written in our house rules, no exceptions. For those seeking a Muslim-friendly setting, this is a concrete guarantee you rarely find in Djerba hotels. No loud groups, no noisy late-night bar, no disruptive behaviour. Just the calm, the pool, and your own.
We are located in Tezdaine, a sought-after district of Midoun (Tezdaine means “the palm trees” in Berber), away from the busier tourist areas. The Troujette and Khalid Ibn Al Walid mosques are less than 5 minutes on foot, with a prayer mat and qibla direction in every villa.
Who Is It For?
Weekend with friends
Reunion in the sun: private pool, beach, traditional hammam, excursions and long evenings on the terrace. Everyone has her own space in the villa, but shared moments for meals, walks and laughter. Ideal for a three-to-five-night break with friends you haven’t seen enough of lately.
Sisters’ getaway
A moment just for you, away from everyday life, children and obligations. The villa as a refuge, the pool as a daily ritual, meals prepared by our cook (at extra cost) as small luxuries. For sisters living far apart, it’s a chance to reconnect — in a setting calm enough for real conversation to flow.
Cousins’ stay
Family ties need shared time to grow. A stay with several cousins, with or without the mothers, strengthens what matters: family memory, recipes, stories, childhood laughter. The villa offers closeness; the hidden pools offer freedom.
Mother–daughter escape
Pass on your memories to your daughters in a setting that reflects who you are — privacy, gentleness and Mediterranean authenticity. For teenagers and for young adults alike, a mother–daughters stay in Djerba is a formative time: unhurried, honest, woman to woman. Villas Opale and Jade (2 bedrooms, intimate atmosphere) are particularly well-suited.
Wellness or spiritual retreat
Yoga by the private pool, meditation in the garden under the palm trees, reading under the pergola, breathwork at sunrise. The absolute calm of Ethic Village Djerba is perfectly suited to a restorative stay, a retreat among sisters in faith, a moment to re-centre. Some retreat leaders return every year and privatise the entire residence for their programmes.
What You Can Do in Djerba as Women
- Traditional hammam in Midoun or Houmt Souk — black-soap scrub, rhassoul ritual, argan-oil massage
- Sidi Yati beach (6 minutes by car) — family beach, quiet out of season
- Djerbahood in Erriadh — street-art walk through a white-and-blue village
- Houmt Souk market (Monday and Thursday) — spices, textiles, Berber jewellery, ceramics
- Pottery workshops in Guellala — create a piece together to take home
- Tunisian cooking class (on request) — learn to prepare brik, couscous, makroud
Privatise the Residence for Your Group
Large group? Rent 3 or 4 villas and privatise the entire residence — up to around 30 guests. Each sub-group has its own villa with a private pool and no overlooking, but you share meals, evenings and time together in the central garden. Our cook prepares halal meals for the whole group (at extra cost, on request). Connecting doors between Diamant and Saphir (and between Opale and Jade) let you move between neighbouring villas without stepping outside.
Ideal format for: extended-family stays, organised women’s retreats, yearly friend reunions, quiet celebration weekends (birthday, graduation, return from pilgrimage).
