Boasting winter sun without the jet lag, spectacular natural attractions and the reassurance of quality facilities, Eilat is an all-round holiday star. You could just lie on a beach but chances are you won't want to miss out on the world-class diving and snorkelling, the desert on your doorstep or the chance to swim with a dolphin.
Reliable winter sun
You don't have to go long-haul to guarantee winter sun. Eilat averages just five rainy days a year and its tropical fish-filled waters remain around a pleasant 22° centigrade. You can be soaking up the rays in as little as five and a half hours.
Desert adventures
Eilat's Red Sea attractions are legendary but did you know its other natural neighbour is the Negev desert? Take a camel or 4x4 to explore its rugged beauty and see rock paintings and the world's first copper mines just a few miles from the beach.
Activity playground
Why settle for an average beach holiday when you can have a host of activities and attractions to hand? Swim with a dolphin, visit tropical fish or desert predators or make a splash with watersports like windsurfing, jet skiing and paragliding.
World class diving
The Red Sea is famed for its rich marine life, good visibility and warm waters. With coral reef starting just metres from the beach in Eilat it's not only a great destination for expert divers but for learners and snorkelling as well.
City smart amenities
Eilat is more than a resort, it's a whole city by the sea, which means a plentiful choice of accommodation, shops, entertainment and transport. It also boasts the biggest hospital in the region, with dialysis for kidney patients and a recompression chamber for divers..
Gateway to so much more
Eilat may be at Israel's southernmost tip but it offers easy access to some of the world's most famous sights. You can take a day trip to the Dead Sea or Jerusalem or the lost world of Petra in Jordan.
