Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Eilat

15 stays · 7 aparthotels and 8 serviced apartments

Eilat is a Red Sea resort at Israel's southern tip, and aparthotels and serviced apartments suit it well. Stays here are often week-long beach and snorkelling trips with children or friends, and a kitchen, living space and separate bedrooms help when you want to eat in, rinse off sandy gear and keep to your own schedule in a hot desert climate. Our guide explains what an aparthotel is.

Where to stay in Eilat

North Beach and the promenade

  • families
  • beach
  • dining

Wikivoyage says North Beach contains the major hotels and the promenade with shops and restaurants. It is the most resort-like part of town, so it suits visitors who want the sea, evening strolls and restaurants close together.

Stays in or near North Beach and the promenade

City centre

  • transport links
  • everyday services
  • longer stays

The city centre houses the bus station and essential services, according to Wikivoyage. It is the practical base if you are arriving by long-distance bus, or if you want shops and services close by rather than a beachfront setting.

Stays in or near City centre

Dolphin Reef and the south coast

  • marine life
  • families
  • quieter days

Wikipedia lists Dolphin Reef, an interactive marine facility, and the Coral World Underwater Observatory, the Middle East's largest public aquarium, among Eilat's major attractions. Wikivoyage says the observatory is a good way to see Red Sea marine life without getting wet. Both sit along the coast south of the main hotel strip, so this stretch suits visitors planning marine-life days.

Coral Beach

  • snorkelling
  • diving
  • nature

Coral Beach lies about 7 km south of the centre according to Wikivoyage, which says it is protected by the Israel Nature Reserve Authority and has excellent scuba diving centres. Wikipedia calls the Coral Beach Nature Reserve the northernmost shallow coral reef in the world. Visitors who plan to snorkel or dive most days may prefer a base near this southern end.

Getting around Eilat

Eilat is served by Ramon International Airport, which opened in January 2019 and replaced the former Eilat Airport, according to Wikipedia. Wikivoyage places it 20 km north of the city, while Wikipedia gives 18 km north of Eilat, with access along Highway 90 and shuttle services connecting the airport to the city. Wikipedia also records that the airport terminal was struck by a drone on 7 September 2025, and that Eilat was targeted by missiles and drone attacks in March 2026 during the 2026 Iran war. Flight and travel conditions can change, so check current information with your airline and official sources.

Wikivoyage lists express buses from Tel Aviv, taking around five to five and a half hours, and from Be'er Sheva, around three to three and a half hours. The central areas can be covered on foot, though Wikivoyage warns that summer heat makes walking hard, and local bus routes 1 and 2 circle the city. Land crossings exist to Egypt at Taba and to Jordan at the Yitzhak Rabin crossing, and entry arrangements should be checked with official sources.

Living in Eilat for longer

For a longer stay, the city centre is the most practical area, with the bus station and essential services together. Eilat's tourism site has sections for restaurants, supermarkets, shopping centres, nightlife, events and trips and tours.

Wikivoyage notes desert activities including hiking and 4x4 tours through the Negev, and the tourism site has an Escape to the Desert section, so longer visitors can mix beach days with excursions. If you are planning a work-based stay, see our serviced apartments for relocation guide.

When to visit Eilat

Wikipedia describes a desert climate with minimal rain, about 28 mm a year, and summers that frequently exceed 40 C. Wikipedia gives usual winter temperatures of 11 to 23 C and summer temperatures of 26 to 40 C, and Wikivoyage says Red Sea water ranges from 20 C in winter to 26.2 C in summer.

That makes winter and the mild shoulder seasons the most comfortable for walking, desert trips and sightseeing, while the long, hot summer suits visitors who plan to spend much of the day in or by the sea.

Eilat sits at the southern end of the Arava valley and the Negev desert on the Gulf of Aqaba, next to Egypt's Taba and Jordan's Aqaba, according to Wikipedia, which gives the population as 56,004. The city's tourism site organises its pages around the sea, the desert, attractions, nightlife, food, shopping and accommodation. This page covers where to stay, how the airport and buses work, practical tips and the seasons. Wikipedia records recent security incidents affecting the city and its airport (see the getting-around section), so conditions can change between planning and travel. You can also browse other stays across Israel.
