The 13 Best Pesach Resorts in Eilat (2026)

Updated July 2026 · 13 picks

The best Pesach resorts in Eilat in 2026 are the King Solomon, Herods Palace and Lagoona. Eilat is one of Israel's two great Pesach destinations, because the weather is reliable in spring and the resorts are built for a week-long stay. Below are thirteen that run full programmes, and the five things to confirm before you pay.

1. King Solomon — North Beach, by the lagoon

The family Pesach programme with the widest children's schedule in the city.

Operator Isrotel

The King Solomon is where Isrotel puts its heaviest children's programming over Pesach, which is the single reason to choose it over the flagship next door.

Water slides, the supervised zones and an entertainment schedule that runs through chol hamoed mean parents get the afternoons back — the thing that decides whether a festival week is a holiday or childcare in a hotter climate.

It is loud and it is busy. That is what you are buying.

Good to know: The children's programme runs on festival hours over Pesach — check the chol hamoed timetable, not the regular one.

2. Herods Palace — North Beach, by the lagoon

The biggest pool and garden complex on the strip, built for families.

Operator HerodsPrice ₪₪₪₪

Herods Palace sits at the northern end of the strip beside the lagoon, with one of the largest pool and garden areas in Eilat and extensive children's facilities.

Over a Pesach week with children, that space is the single most useful thing a hotel can offer, and the Herods complex has more of it than most.

Facilities are shared across the adjacent Herods properties, so check which building you are booked into.

  • Extensive pool and garden complex
  • Children's facilities
  • Lagoon-side position

Good to know: Ask which of the Herods buildings your room is in — the walk between them is longer than it looks.

3. Lagoona — North Beach promenade

All-inclusive on the promenade — no taxis for the whole festival.

Operator Isrotel

Lagoona is the all-inclusive that sits directly on the North Beach promenade, which over a nine-night Pesach means the beach, the shops and the restaurants are all reachable without leaving the pavement.

Meals and drinks are in the rate at a time of year when kosher-for-Pesach eating out in Eilat is both expensive and heavily booked.

The children's programme is pitched at younger ages than the Sport Club's.

Good to know: The promenade terrace is included — the best-value seat in Eilat on a Pesach evening.

4. Royal Beach — North Beach, on the promenade

The flagship runs the largest Pesach programme in the city.

Operator IsrotelPrice ₪₪₪₪

Over Pesach the Royal Beach turns its scale into a programme: a full kosher-for-Pesach kitchen operating at hotel capacity, a children's schedule that runs the length of chol hamoed, and enough restaurant seatings that the sedarim do not feel like a canteen.

The pool complex is what makes a week here work rather than three days — with the promenade outside and shade through the afternoon, families are not trapped indoors between meals.

It is the most expensive Pesach week in Eilat and sells out earliest. Book eleven months ahead or accept a sister property.

  • Large pool complex
  • Direct promenade and beach access
  • Spa and multiple restaurants

Good to know: Confirm the seder seating arrangement when you book — the early sitting fills first and suits younger children.

5. Dan Eilat — North Beach, on the promenade

A seafront five-star from the group with the longest festival track record in Israel.

Operator Dan HotelsPrice ₪₪₪₪

The Dan Eilat sits on the North Beach promenade, a landmark five-star with several pools, a spa and full children's facilities.

Dan has run festival hospitality across its Israeli properties for decades, and the operational side of a full hotel over yom tov is where that experience shows.

Programme details and supervision are set annually and should be confirmed directly.

  • Seafront promenade position
  • Multiple pools and spa
  • Established group festival experience

Good to know: The most walkable of the big strip hotels — useful over chol hamoed when you want out of the resort.

6. Sport Club — Two minutes from the North Beach promenade

All-inclusive over Pesach — the arithmetic that makes a nine-night festival affordable.

Operator Isrotel

Pesach is the week the all-inclusive model earns its keep. Nine nights of kosher-for-Pesach meals for a family, bought à la carte in Eilat, will cost more than the difference in room rate here.

The activity programme runs at festival intensity, aimed at families with older children and at groups who want the week organised rather than improvised.

It is two minutes from the promenade, so the location matches hotels charging considerably more.

Good to know: Price this against room-only at a neighbour for the same dates — over a full festival week it is rarely close.

7. Royal Garden — North Beach

All-suite layout — the practical choice for a family Pesach week.

Operator Isrotel

Over a festival week that runs eight or nine nights, the Royal Garden's all-suite layout stops being a nice-to-have: separate sleeping space and a kitchenette change what a family can actually do with the days between the sedarim.

The tropical garden and water park keep younger children occupied on site, and guests can use the Royal Beach facilities next door when they want the bigger operation.

It is the sensible booking for two families travelling together over Pesach.

Good to know: Kitchenettes need kashering for Pesach — confirm with the hotel what they provide and what you bring.

8. Leonardo Club Eilat — North Beach

All-inclusive, which over a long festival week removes most of the daily friction.

Operator Fattal / LeonardoPrice ₪₪₪

The Leonardo Club operates on an all-inclusive basis — meals, snacks and drinks throughout — on the North Beach strip.

Over a Pesach week in Eilat's heat, all-inclusive is a genuinely different experience: nobody is negotiating about lunch, and the children can eat when they want to.

It sits below the five-stars on price, which for a large family group is the deciding factor.

  • All-inclusive meals and drinks
  • Pool complex
  • Children's programming

Good to know: Confirm exactly what the all-inclusive covers over the festival — it sometimes differs from the standard offering.

9. Riviera — Two minutes from the beachfront

Apartment-style and self-catering — the cheapest Isrotel Pesach in Eilat.

Operator Isrotel

The Riviera is how families do Pesach in Eilat without paying flagship rates: apartment-style units with their own space, an on-site mini-market, and the beachfront two minutes away.

Self-catering over Pesach is a real saving when every restaurant in the city is running festival pricing, provided you are comfortable handling your own kashrut.

Facilities are lighter than the bigger properties — this is a base for a week spent outside the hotel.

Good to know: Check what the hotel does and does not kasher for Pesach before planning to self-cater.

10. Yam Suf — Coral Beach, by the Underwater Observatory

Down at Coral Beach — a Pesach week built around the reef, not the pool.

Operator Isrotel

Yam Suf is the Pesach booking for families whose week is about snorkelling and diving rather than about hotel entertainment.

It sits at Coral Beach beside the Underwater Observatory, with the Manta diving centre on site, which turns chol hamoed into something other than the pool deck.

The distance from the North Beach strip means quieter evenings and a taxi if you want the promenade.

Good to know: Reef conditions are at their best in spring — Pesach is the right festival to book this hotel over Sukkot.

11. U Coral Beach Club — Coral Beach, south shore

Ultra all-inclusive on the quiet southern shore, next to the reef.

Operator Fattal / LeonardoPrice ₪₪₪₪

U Coral Beach Club sits on the southern Coral Beach stretch on an ultra all-inclusive basis, away from the North Beach crowds and close to the nature reserve.

The quieter position is the appeal over a festival week, when the northern strip is at its busiest — and the reef is across the road.

You will need transport to reach town, which over chol hamoed is worth planning for.

  • Ultra all-inclusive
  • Quiet southern shore location
  • Close to Coral Beach reserve

Good to know: Check what transport into town the hotel runs over the festival — it is not a walk.

Google Maps Website

12. Agamim — North Beach, set back from the promenade

The quiet Pesach option — for couples and older families, not toddlers.

Operator Isrotel

Agamim is the Isrotel hotel to book over Pesach if you are not travelling with small children and would rather not spend the festival inside somebody else's children's programme.

The lagoon layout and the rooms that open onto the water make it the calmest property in the group, and its distance from the promenade is an advantage during the busiest week of the Israeli calendar.

It runs a proper Pesach kitchen and sedarim without the scale of entertainment the family hotels put on.

Good to know: The best Pesach value in the group if your children are teenagers — you pay for calm rather than for clubs.

13. Astral Village — North Beach area

A low-rise village layout and garden space, at the value end.

Operator Astral HotelsPrice ₪₪

Astral Village is laid out as a low-rise village of rooms around gardens and pools rather than as a tower, and it sits at the more affordable end of the Eilat market.

For extended families booking several rooms over a festival, the combination of space, gardens and price is the argument.

Confirm the programme's inclusions and supervision directly for the year you are booking.

  • Low-rise village layout with gardens
  • Pool area
  • Family-oriented pricing

Good to know: The best-value option here for a large family group booking several rooms.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Eilat popular for Pesach?

Spring weather in Eilat is close to perfect — warm, dry and swimmable — while the rest of the country can still be unsettled. The city is also built around week-long resort stays with pools, children's facilities and all-inclusive options, which is exactly the shape of a festival holiday.

How do holiday programmes in Israel work?

A hotel or an operator takes over a property for the festival, kashers the kitchens to a stated standard, and sells the stay as a package covering yom tov and chol hamoed meals, services and usually children's programming. Contents, supervision and pricing are set fresh each year, so nothing published in advance should be treated as fixed.

What should I confirm before booking?

Five things, in writing: which body supervises the kashrut and to what standard; exactly which meals are included and on which days; whether festival meals are communal or private; what children's programming actually runs and for which ages; and the cancellation terms. All vary between properties and between years.

How far ahead do these programmes sell out?

The strongest programmes open many months ahead and the good rooms go early, particularly connecting and family rooms. If a specific property matters to you, treat it like booking a venue rather than a hotel.

Is a hotel programme better than renting an apartment?

It depends on your family. A programme removes all the cooking and kashering work and provides childcare and services, which over a long festival is a substantial relief. An apartment costs far less and gives you control. Most families work out fairly quickly which camp they are in.
