The Best Holiday Apartments in Eilat

These apartments, sleeping three, four or six, just a short hop west of the main beach area in Eilat, channel all the relaxed, fun-in-the-sun vibe you’d expect from a Hawaiian holiday. While wall-size beach pics evoke Maui in some of the bedrooms, other rooms are more subtle, with sea-blue sofas and sun-soaked terraces. All have trendy contemporary furniture, sleek kitchens and comfy sofas, so style mavens should approve.

These apartments, just off the marina and within walking distance of the beach, are a solid bet for groups of friends holidaying together. One big, communal pool, fringed with palms, means you can hang out together even if you don’t share the same apartment. The apartments themselves, which sleep between four and six, come with stylish furnishings and include access to a gym, should you get bored of lazing around.

With bright splashes of colour and funky patterns on the walls, these apartments have real personality – if you didn’t know better, you could be staying at your cool Israeli cousin’s place. Handily for solo travellers or couples, they come in studio and one-bedroom formats, so you’re not paying for extra space you don’t need. Want to maximise your sunshine hours? Some of the apartments come with balconies and private gardens.

Scattered across four locations in the heart of Eilat, the Villa Kibel apartments are just a 10-minute walk from the sand – exactly what you’re looking for in a beach break. Convenient locations make these apartments a good pick for families looking to self-cater, too. Whichever apartment you choose, expect homely, unfussy decor, free parking, a microwave-equipped kitchen and outdoor spaces (either a balcony or garden).

If you’re planning on making the Coral Beach Nature Reserve a regular feature of your trip, stay at La Villa – it’s just a 10-minute drive away. With wood-panelled kitchens, cool tiled floors and sink-in sofas, these apartments also prioritise comfort – just what you need after a long day in the depths exploring rainbows of coral and fish. You may also prefer to crash in the garden.

There are three apartments here: two closer to the beach, and a third closer to the hotspot emporium, the Ice Mall. Whichever you choose, you can expect the comforts of home, including a proper kitchen. If a pool is essential, choose the Royal Park location – it comes with a full-size (shared) swimming spot. The white decor keeps this apartment feeling cool and bright.
