Stay on North Beach for the promenade and restaurants, or Coral Beach for diving. Feb–May is the sweet spot: warm sea, cheaper than December peak.

Destination.moneyTips

  • 1Eilat is a VAT-free zone — hotels typically cost ~17% less than the same brand elsewhere in Israel.
  • 2Day-use passes to luxury hotel pools (₪150–250) beat booking the room when you just want the pool day.
  • 3Half-board hotel meals are usually 30% cheaper than the same restaurant à la carte.

当地交通

  • 1Buses 30 and 15 cover the entire hotel strip for ₪5; pay with Rav-Kav contactless or coins.
  • 2Ramon (ETM) airport is 18 km north — Egged 282 runs every 30 min for ₪10; fixed-rate taxi ~₪80.
  • 3Walking the promenade from North Beach to the marina takes 25 min — easier than parking.

Destination.mostCommonMistake

Booking a "city" hotel without a pool in summer — Eilat tops 42 °C and you will need pool access.
