The 10 hotels

Looking for a romantic hotel in Israel for a couples' weekend or a honeymoon? These are the 10 hotels we'd book for two: spa resorts in the Galilee and on Mount Carmel, boutique hotels in old stone buildings in Akko, Jaffa and Jerusalem, and desert hotels facing the Ramon Crater and the Arava.

For a quiet stay without children, Carmel Forest Spa Resort only takes guests aged 16 and over. Mizpe Hayamim in Rosh Pina is the classic couples' choice in the north, and at Beresheet in Mitzpe Ramon the rooms and pools face the crater.

Every hotel is on the map and links to its own Booking.com page so you can check prices for your dates. Prices go up on weekends and Jewish holidays, so book Thursday to Saturday stays early.

Before you go

Good to know

Book weekends early
Thursday to Saturday is the busiest and most expensive time at Israeli hotels. Book a few weeks ahead, or go midweek for lower prices.
Check the age policy
Some spa hotels, like Carmel Forest, only take adults. Check the age policy if you want a quiet stay.
Book spa treatments ahead
Treatments at popular spa hotels fill up on weekends. Book them when you book the room.
Rent a car
The Galilee, Mount Carmel and the desert hotels are hard to reach without a car.
