Hotels and Resorts in Tartus
Along the Tartus coastline, a range of beachfront hotels and resorts make it possible to wake up to the Mediterranean every morning. Here are the best accommodation options — from full-service beach resorts to a city-center tower with panoramic sea views.
Holiday Beach Hotel
Holiday Beach Hotel sits on Golden Sands Beach, approximately 10 km north of Tartus city center — far enough from the urban noise to feel genuinely removed, close enough to reach the city whenever needed. The setting is the hotel’s primary asset: direct views of the Mediterranean on one side and the coastal mountains on the other.
The property offers rooms across several categories to suit different requirements, with swimming available both directly in the sea and in a dedicated hotel pool, plus a jacuzzi for a more relaxed alternative. Multiple restaurants operate throughout the day covering a variety of cuisines.
For a more atmospheric experience, the hotel’s Africano Beach section operates a beachside tent bar serving drinks directly on the sand — the kind of setup that defines what a Syrian summer beach stay should feel like.
Burj Shahin Hotel
At 21 floors, Burj Shahin is one of the tallest buildings in Tartus — positioned directly on the corniche with unobstructed sea views to the west and city views to the east. The location is its most practical strength: directly adjacent to the city’s main markets and commercial districts, putting all of Tartus’s activities within walking distance of the room.
The hotel offers close to 100 rooms across multiple configurations and several suite categories — enough variety to accommodate most types of stay. The top floor is dedicated to a panoramic restaurant with a 360-degree view of the city and coast, the most elevated dining experience available in Tartus.
Shahin Resort
Seven kilometers south of Tartus, Shahin Resort is a self-contained beach and entertainment complex — the largest of its kind on the Syrian coast. Its centerpiece is what is claimed to be Syria’s largest swimming pool, which hosts regular pool parties and water events throughout the summer season.
The resort’s hotel rooms surround the main pool and overlook the sea, available across multiple categories from standard to premium. Multiple restaurants and cafés operate throughout the property, a fully equipped gym overlooks the pool, and several sports courts are available for guests who want to stay active during their stay.
Shahin Resort is the closest thing to a dedicated summer entertainment destination on the Syrian coast — a place designed specifically to keep guests on-site and occupied.
Jounada Resort
On the Tartus corniche immediately adjacent to the city harbor, Jounada Resort is a complete tourist village — its design inspired by the Italian village of Portofino, with colorful facades and a planned layout that gives it a distinctly Mediterranean character unusual on the Syrian coast.
The resort’s beach is a sheltered natural cove within the property itself, protected from open-water wave conditions — making swimming consistently accessible regardless of sea state. Sandy beachside chalets are positioned around the cove, with direct beach access from the room. The main hotel building rises several floors above the sea-facing side, with all rooms offering open Mediterranean views.
Room categories cover the full range: premium single rooms, deluxe double rooms, and full suites — plus a large private swimming pool for guests who prefer freshwater. Restaurants at Jounada — including Nara Restaurant and Al-Yam seafood restaurant — have independent reputations as among the best dining options in Tartus, which means the food here is a reason to stay rather than just a convenience.
