Three areas called troglodytes with small bricks from Nefta are completely independent with their own private terraces but also linked together by a circular area from one to the other. Collective life is articulated around a small square with a small water cascade and a bread oven. These rooms can be rented entirely for a stay with friends or family. The freshness reminds of the typical troglodytes houses of Matmata.

The three areas called dunes are at sand level. They are like open spaces that the wind would have sculpted. The inspiration was the bivouac that allows you to modulate your comfort as you wish. It’s an incredible experience living within the dunes, creating your own nest, feeling closer to the desert. They are all different, one has a loggia with a natural light and an indoor garden, the other very spacious has an external terrace and a large window with a view of Nefta, the third one also very spacious and fresh. It offers a view on the date grove with an independent room and an alcove wooden terrace.

DAR HI has a natural source of hot water flowing under its basement.
A natural geothermic principal, the hammam will not need any other generator to stay warm. The pool also has natural warm water.

In the heart of DAR HI, the HI body and soul is dedicated to well being for body and spirit. It has several massage and body care areas, a bathtub with oriental relaxing essential oils, a meditation room, and a very spacious traditional hammam. In the pure oriental tradition the hammam is heated with steamed hot water that comes from the desert. You can change in the entrance, then discover a room for body care (soap, scrubbing …) and a room that is warmer. The sinks are in Foussana marble and the wall covered of faience designed by matali that use a combination of colours from turquoise blue, light blue, acid green and orange.

DAR HI proposes various types of body care within the house. The traditional essences that have therapeutic virtues from the region of Djerid guaranty a high quality of body care. Some specific body care will be available with clay and salt based products, thanks to the proximity of the Choot-El-Jerid but also with warm sand. The benefits of massage are the high priority of DAR HI with traditional Arab massage, scrubbing within the hammam and different oriental techniques (thaï, ayurvedic…) that will be put in place by Bertrand Poncet who is our well being partner at the HI Hotel. The masseurs are all local and will be trained by several techniques by Bertrand Poncet’s team.

The meals are prepared by local cooks. They will cook traditional dishes from the region ‘as if you were home’ and will go pick every morning vegetables from our garden.
Everyday the dishes will be prepared and served throughout the house even in the oasis under the palm trees shadow.

The vegetable of the garden will all be organic and DAR HI will encourage the villagers to reuse the forgotten agricultural lands.
DAR HI has committed to buy other villagers production to encourage the cooperative system.

A large number of activities are available: cooking lessons, horse carriage within the oasis, sunsets on star wars site, camping in the desert, the discovery of Nefta and its medina, dates factories, and many more activities...

DAR HI is located in the historic centre of Nefta town, south of Tunisia at the frontier of the desert between Chott El Jerid and dunes of sand.

Nefta is famous for its location in a natural geological site and also for the thousands of palm trees with dates that are appreciated worldwide: the Deglet Nour dates.
The architecture of the houses is typical with walls made of whole bricks that have a distinctive ochre colour. Roofs and house doors are made of palm wood.
It is not surprising that this particular location has inspired a large number of movie directors, for example: Star Wars and the English Patient were filmed in the Nefta desert.

Palmlab is a pluridisciplinary association* that has the main goal to research modern usage for the palm tree in different types of industries:
architecture, furniture, everyday objects, cooking, skincare... researching what is all the potential of the oasis and the palm tree. It will group different specialists with the organization of workshops and long term research that will take place at DAR HI.

Palmlab is completely integrated in the hotel’s philosophy.

DAR HI has a dedicated space for the laboratory where specific research can be directed but also as a pilot establishment where a lot of the interior decoration is made out of palm trees.

The Palmlab is in the heart of a network of passionate people who want to question the limits of their work and participate to construct a world with strong values. This network is eager to take part of local initiatives, collaborate with schools (Professional Master for safe keeping and study of local architectural and environmental located in Nefta - see attached documentation)
