The 13 Best Sukkot Family Programs in Eilat (2026)

1. Lagoona — North Beach promenade

The strongest Sukkot family package in the city — all-inclusive, on the promenade.

Sukkot is Lagoona's peak: an all-inclusive family hotel on the promenade during the warmest sea week of the year, with a children's programme built for exactly this festival.

Everything a family needs over chol hamoed — meals, drinks, activities, the beach — sits inside the rate or within a two-minute walk, which is what makes it work with young children.

Book early; it fills before the other Isrotel properties over Sukkot.

Good to know: Confirm the sukkah seating times when booking — with all-inclusive dining the sittings are fixed over the festival.

2. Herods Palace — North Beach, by the lagoon

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

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

Activity-led and all-inclusive — the Sukkot week that runs itself.

The Sport Club's daily schedule is the point over Sukkot: a full programme of sport and activity through chol hamoed, with meals and drinks already paid for.

It suits families with children old enough to join in on their own, and groups of friends travelling together over the festival.

The North Beach promenade is a two-minute walk when the schedule stops.

Good to know: Best value of the group over Sukkot if your children are past the toddler stage and will use the programme.

4. King Solomon — North Beach, by the lagoon

Water slides, a supervised kids' schedule and a sukkah — the Sukkot workhorse.

Sukkot is the King Solomon's natural festival: a week-long family break in the warmest sea of the year, with the hotel's activity programme running at full stretch.

The pool complex and slides matter more in early autumn than they do in spring, because Eilat in October is hot enough that the beach is a morning-and-evening proposition.

Expect the hotel to be at capacity with Israeli families for the whole festival.

Good to know: Book the slides-facing rooms only if you want the children woken early — the complex opens at first light in autumn.

5. Dan Eilat — North Beach, on the promenade

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

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. Royal Garden — North Beach

Suites and a water park, for families who need their own space over the festival.

The Royal Garden works over Sukkot for the same reason it works over Pesach — every unit is a suite — but autumn shifts the emphasis to the water park and the garden, which is where the hotel keeps children through the hottest hours.

A kitchenette matters more over Sukkot than at other times of year, because chol hamoed day trips mean packed lunches rather than hotel meals.

The Royal Beach facilities next door remain open to guests.

Good to know: Ask about the hotel sukkah's capacity — all-suite hotels seat fewer at once than the big dining rooms.

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

The warmest sea of the year, right on the reef.

October water at Coral Beach is the warmest it gets, which makes Sukkot the easiest week of the year to put an inexperienced snorkeller in the sea.

The hotel's position next to the Underwater Observatory and its own diving centre give a family week a structure that does not depend on the hotel's programme.

It is away from the strip, so expect a quieter festival than the North Beach hotels.

Good to know: The Observatory is walking distance — buy the multi-day ticket rather than paying per visit over chol hamoed.

8. Leonardo Club Eilat — North Beach

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

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

Over a Sukkot 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

The value option for a Sukkot week spent out of the hotel.

Over Sukkot the Riviera makes sense for families who plan to be at the beach, the Observatory and out on day trips rather than inside a hotel programme.

The apartment layout and the mini-market keep a week affordable during one of the two most expensive periods in the Eilat calendar.

There is a kids' zone, but nothing on the scale of the family hotels up the strip.

Good to know: Two minutes from the beachfront and cheaper than everything on it — the trade is facilities, not location.

10. Royal Beach — North Beach, on the promenade

The biggest hotel sukkah in Eilat, and the pool that makes autumn heat bearable.

Sukkot at the Royal Beach means a hotel sukkah built to seat the dining room rather than an overflow tent, which matters when the hotel is at capacity for the whole festival.

Early autumn in Eilat is still hot — high thirties through chol hamoed — so the pool complex and the shaded promenade frontage do more work here than they do at Pesach.

The sea is at its warmest of the year in October, which is the argument for Sukkot in Eilat over Pesach.

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

Good to know: Ask whether the sukkah is air-conditioned — at Eilat's October temperatures it is not a luxury.

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

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

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.

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

The calm alternative when the rest of Eilat is at family capacity.

Sukkot is the single busiest family week in Eilat, which makes Agamim's adult-leaning atmosphere its strongest selling point of the year.

The encircling pool and the tropical lagoon give the hotel a sense of separation from the resort strip that the family properties cannot offer over a festival.

It still runs a sukkah and festival meals — it simply does not run the clubs.

Good to know: Worth booking here and walking ten minutes to the promenade rather than staying in the middle of it over Sukkot.

13. Astral Village — North Beach area

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

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.
