Tel Aviv Weddings Beach & Seaside Venues

The 6 Best Beach Wedding Venues in Tel Aviv (2026)

Updated July 2026 · 6 picks

The best beach wedding venues in Tel Aviv in 2026 are Manta Ray on Alma Beach, Trask at the port and Shalvata. Tel Aviv has 14km of west-facing coast, so the sunset is guaranteed and the wind is the variable. Below are six places to marry on or above the sand, and what each handles best.

1. Manta Ray — Alma Beach, between Tel Aviv and Jaffa

Genuinely on the sand — the definitive Tel Aviv beach wedding.

₪₪₪ UpmarketUp to 200 guestsBest for Couples · Solo

Manta Ray sits directly on Alma Beach on the stretch between central Tel Aviv and Jaffa, and it is the venue most people mean when they talk about a Tel Aviv beach wedding.

The setting does everything: sand underfoot, the water a few metres away, the Jaffa skyline to the south and the sun going down straight ahead. It suits a smaller, warmer celebration rather than a large formal one.

As with any true beachfront venue, wind and sound are the practical constraints — worth pressing on before you sign.

Good to know: Ask to visit at the same time of day and season as your wedding — the wind at 18:00 in May is not the wind at 14:00 in March.

2. Trask — Tel Aviv Port

A beachfront hall with a rooftop deck over the water — beach setting, hall capability.

₪₪₪₪ SplurgeUp to 650 guestsBest for Couples · Groups · Families

Trask is built on the beach at the Tel Aviv Port, with the main hall a few metres from the sand and wrapped in glass, and a rooftop Sky Lounge on a wooden deck directly above the water.

It solves the central problem of beach weddings at scale: you get the sea from every seat and an outdoor ceremony deck, without asking 600 guests to sit on sand in the wind.

The main space seats around 650 and takes over 1,000 standing, with the Sky Lounge holding 500 to 600 standing or up to 200 seated.

Good to know: Ceremony on the roof deck, dinner in the glass hall below — that is the sequence the venue is designed for.

3. Shalvata — Tel Aviv Port

Open-air, on the water, and built for the party rather than the dinner.

₪₪₪ UpmarketUp to 400 guestsBest for Couples · Groups

Shalvata occupies the northern edge of the Tel Aviv Port, open to the sea, and has been the city's defining outdoor summer venue for years.

For a wedding it suits couples who want the evening to be a party on the waterfront rather than a seated dinner with dancing afterwards. The whole space is built around being outside with the sea behind you.

Strictly a warm-weather venue, and all the better for it between May and October.

Good to know: Summer only in practice — and the sunset slot is the one to book.

4. The Setai Tel Aviv — Jaffa seafront

A restored Ottoman fortress on the water — the most dramatic seafront setting in the city.

₪₪₪₪ SplurgeUp to 300 guestsBest for Couples · Families

The Setai occupies the Kishle, a nineteenth-century Ottoman fortress and later prison on the water at the edge of Jaffa, restored around a central courtyard with the original stone left exposed.

For a wedding it offers something no purpose-built venue can: a genuinely historic building, a courtyard, a rooftop facing west over the sea, and full hotel infrastructure including rooms for guests coming from abroad.

It is at the formal, expensive end of the seafront options and it looks it.

Good to know: Rooms on site make it much easier for overseas guests than a standalone beach venue.

5. Carlton Tel Aviv — Marina, seafront

Seafront hotel with a rooftop pool deck level with the horizon.

₪₪₪₪ SplurgeUp to 400 guestsBest for Families · Couples

The Carlton sits on the seafront beside the marina, and its rooftop pool deck — open to the sea on one side and level with the horizon — is one of the best event spaces on the strip.

As a hotel venue it brings the things a beach venue cannot: a full kitchen, guest rooms, a weather fallback and staff who run events every week. The sea view survives all of it.

It suits weddings with a significant number of guests arriving from abroad, who can simply go upstairs afterwards.

Good to know: Check availability of the rooftop specifically — it is the reason to choose this over an inland hotel.

6. Hilton Tel Aviv — Independence Park, north seafront

Clifftop position above its own beach, with full large-hotel capability.

₪₪₪₪ SplurgeUp to 600 guestsBest for Families · Groups

The Hilton stands on the low cliff above Independence Park at the northern end of the seafront, with its own beach below and one of the most commanding positions on the coast.

It is a large full-service hotel with substantial event and banqueting capability, which makes it the practical choice for a big seafront wedding where a genuine beach venue would be too small or too exposed.

The park in front is one of the few green stretches on the seafront and does a lot for photographs.

Good to know: The park and the clifftop are the photograph locations here — scout them when you visit.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get married on the beach in Tel Aviv?

Yes. The city's beaches host ceremonies regularly, and several venues sit directly on the sand or on decks above it. A ceremony on a public beach needs coordination with the municipality and a venue nearby for the reception — which is why most couples book a beachfront venue that handles both.

What is the risk of wind at a beach wedding?

Real, and the thing most couples underestimate. Afternoon sea breeze on the Tel Aviv coast is reliable and picks up as the day cools, which affects hair, veils, light decor, candles and above all sound. Ask any venue how they handle wind before you book, and treat the answer as a test.

When is the best season for a beach wedding in Israel?

May to June and September to October. July and August are hot and very humid, though an evening ceremony works. Winter is a genuine risk on the coast, both for rain and for sea storms, so most beachfront venues have an indoor or covered fallback that you should insist on seeing.

Are beach venues cheaper than halls?

Not necessarily. Beachfront positions carry a premium in Tel Aviv, and the smaller capacity at genuine on-the-sand venues means the per-head cost is often higher. What you save is on decoration — the setting does that work for you.

What time should a beach ceremony start?

Work backwards from sunset. Most couples set the chuppah 30 to 45 minutes before it, so the ceremony ends as the light goes, with the reception following. Sunset shifts by more than an hour and a half across the year, so fix the venue and the date before printing anything.
