Poetic Rooms by the Sea.

Where History Whispers, and Art Comes Alive.

Dar Sidi is more than a boutique hotel; it’s a sanctuary of women’s stories, artisan heritage, and Mediterranean serenity in Mahdia, Tunisia.

Our Story

A Sanctuary Born from Stories

Dar Sidi is inspired by the women of Mahdia—keepers of memory, craft, and quiet strength. Each Dar bears a name and a spirit: rooms become intimate worlds where tradition and contemporary calm meet.

Our vision is minimalist and poetic—spaces bathed in light, shaped by artisan hands, and guided by a feminine, sacred sensibility. Here, time slows so you can see, feel, and belong.

Women of Mahdia — the soul of Dar Sidi.

Design

Minimal. Poetic. Sacred.

Whitewashed walls, pastel interiors, artisan textures, and intimate courtyards—crafted for serenity and connection.

Artistic Hub

A Home for Artists & Dreamers

Beyond hospitality, Dar Sidi is an artistic hub—residencies, exhibitions, and cultural gatherings woven into everyday life.

Artist Residency

We welcome painters, photographers, illustrators, sculptors, ceramicists, textile artists, and more. Residencies culminate in a group exhibition and a printed publication documenting work created in Mahdia.

  • Studios & serene workspaces inside the Dars
  • Curated encounters with local artisans
  • Post-residency exhibition with partner galleries

Mahdia

Rooted in Mahdia’s Soul

Between sea and Medina, Mahdia holds a luminous quiet. Its crafts, architecture, and coastal light inform everything at Dar Sidi.
