Eilat for couples

“Let’s escape from the asphalt and the crumpled cities, let’s escape to the quiet lagoons, let’s go to Eilat, to Eilat” wrote Yaron London in his song, putting in words the feeling of so many couples on a romantic vacation. Eilat, Israel’s resort city, offers couples on vacation a wide range of leisure and entertainment activities. The natural landscape, the meeting between sea and desert, the intensity of Israel’s southern city, coupled with all those much needed pleasures and treats, will turn any romantic vacation to a years’ long memorable intimate experience.

Dolphin’s reef

Eilat has a number of attractions which offer just the right measure of romantics. Here are a few of our recommendations:

Diving in pairs: scuba diving is a great opportunity to communicate without words, in the most splendid place in the Israel and the world – the Red Sea. Diving is normally done in pairs, and communication is done using sign language. Going under water, away from the distractions of the world outside, divers depend one on the other, enveloped by the wonderful nature around them. You don’t have to go through a lengthy course, or be a professional diver in order to enjoy this experience. You can choose a short introductory dive and enjoy all the beauty and wealth of underwater life that the Red Sea offers. Eilat’s diving clubs are located along the coasts, particularly on the south beaches towards the border with Taba.

Taking it easy on the beach: in the Dolphin’s reef, a recommended spot on its own, you will find “Stalbet Al Hamim” – a delightful pools complex for people over 18. The site offers an escape to “an island of serenity in a sea of storms”, and indeed there this promise is very much kept. The site includes three pleasant pools where you can bath, swim and float, all accompanied by underground music. Out of the water you can rest in one of the lovely sitting areas around the pools, try a Watsu treatment, and most importantly, spend a quiet time together. The whole complex is located in a green, shaded botanic garden. During your stay here you can enjoy a romantic meal, drinks and other vacation treats.
