The 5 Best Family Hotels in Netanya (2026)

Updated July 2026 · 5 picks

The best family hotels in Netanya in 2026 are Island Suites, the Seasons and the Ramada. Netanya is the coast's family town — thirteen kilometres of beach, prices well below Tel Aviv and a large Anglo and French community — and its hotels are priced and laid out accordingly. Below are five, with what each gives a family.

1. Island Suites Hotel — Ir Yamim, southern Netanya

All-suite hotel in Ir Yamim, built for families who want space and a kitchen.

₪₪₪ UpmarketBest for Families · Couples

Island Suites sits in Ir Yamim, the newest and most sought-after part of Netanya, offering suites with separate living areas and kitchenettes rather than standard hotel rooms.

That format is the reason to book it with children: room to spread out, somewhere to make breakfast, and a layout that lets adults stay up after the children are asleep.

Ir Yamim is a purpose-built modern district beside the marina and the mall, quieter than the city centre and a short drive from the beaches.

Good to know: The kitchenette makes a real difference with young children — worth more than an extra star.

2. The Seasons Netanya — Central Netanya, on the seafront

A long-established seafront hotel on the cliff, above the central beaches.

₪₪₪ UpmarketBest for Families · Couples

The Seasons occupies a seafront position on the Netanya cliff above the central beaches, and it has been one of the city's established hotels for years.

The clifftop position means sea views from the rooms and direct access to the promenade, with the lift down to Sironit a short walk along it.

It is a full-service hotel rather than a resort, and it sits at a moderate price point for the location.

Good to know: Ask for a sea-facing room — the cliff position is the whole point of staying here.

3. Ramada Hotel & Suites Netanya — Netanya seafront

Suites, a spa and a pool, from an international brand on the coast.

₪₪₪ UpmarketBest for Families · Couples

The Ramada Hotel & Suites sits on the Netanya coast a short distance from the centre, offering suites, a spa and a seasonal outdoor pool.

The suite format and the pool make it a practical family choice, and the international brand brings a predictability that some travellers value over local character.

It is close enough to the centre to walk and far enough to be quieter.

Good to know: Confirm the pool is open in the season you are booking — it is seasonal.

4. Leonardo Plaza Netanya — Netanya seafront

A large, dependable seafront hotel from the country's biggest group.

₪₪₪ UpmarketBest for Families · Couples

The Leonardo Plaza sits on the Netanya seafront and is the largest of the Fattal group's properties in the city, with the pools, dining capacity and family rooms that implies.

It is a straightforward full-service hotel rather than a distinctive one, and it is the practical choice for a family or a group that wants facilities and does not want surprises.

The seafront position puts the promenade and the beaches immediately below.

Good to know: Fattal runs several Netanya properties — compare them before booking, the gap is often price rather than quality.

5. Hotel Margoa — Netanya seafront

A renovated seafront hotel at the value end, on the cliff.

₪₪ Mid-rangeBest for Families · Couples

The Margoa is a renovated hotel on the Netanya seafront, with air-conditioned rooms, a clifftop position and a price well below the larger properties.

It is a modest hotel rather than a resort, and it earns its place by offering the same seafront position as its neighbours for meaningfully less.

For families whose holiday happens on the beach and the promenade rather than in the hotel, that is usually the right trade.

Good to know: The best value on the Netanya seafront if the hotel is somewhere to sleep rather than the holiday itself.

Frequently asked questions

Is Netanya good for a family beach holiday?

Very. It has thirteen kilometres of beach with lifeguards and facilities, a lift straight down the cliff at the main beach, a compact walkable centre, and prices well below Tel Aviv for a comparable stay. The train to Tel Aviv takes about half an hour if you want the city too.

Should we stay in the centre or Ir Yamim?

The centre puts you on the clifftop promenade above the main beaches, walking distance to restaurants and the lift down to Sironit. Ir Yamim in the south is newer, quieter and near the marina and the mall, but you will drive or bus to the central beaches. With young children, the centre usually wins.

Are Netanya hotels kosher?

Most are, reflecting the city's large religious and traditional population, which means dairy breakfasts, meat dinners and kitchens closed for Shabbat with meals arranged in advance. Confirm with the specific property.

Do Netanya hotels have pools?

Several do, and several are seasonal — open in summer only. In a beach town this matters less than it would elsewhere, but with small children a pool is often more usable than the sea. Confirm the dates the pool actually operates.

Is Netanya good for French or English speakers?

Unusually so. Netanya has one of Israel's largest French-speaking communities and a substantial Anglo one, so hotel staff, restaurants and shops commonly operate in French and English as a matter of course.
