We spent the last weekend in the Beresheet Spa Resort which is located in the far south of Israel about one hour from Eilat. My husband and I have been celebrating our wedding anniversary taking a weekend off to relax.
Above you can see the view from our amazing room. We had a direct view on the crater which looks absolutely astonishing! We enjoyed the comfort of a private pool which gave us a maximum amount of privacy. The room itself was offered all comfortability we needed. Everything was in good condition and very clean. The room was being arranged for us twice a day (morning and afternoon).
Every room is eqipped with the body care products of the hotel. Their scent is lovely even though I can not describe what it is. It is smelling kind of "oriental".
Beresheet is constructed like a little village with every building hosting two rooms. At the ground floor is a room with a pool and while the room above enjoys a large patio. We were told that there are 100 rooms available in the resort.
As walking distances between the rooms and the main building differ depending where your room is located the hotel offers a driving service with 24/7 availability to take you around.
Here is how our building looked like:
All buildings including the main house are made from lovely stones which have the same color as the desert environment. It all fits very well into the nature.
Below is the main building and the main pool.
And yes we also spent time around the main pool even though we had a pool of our own. The pool bar offered lovely cocktails...
Here is a picture of the sunrise which we saw every morning. It was worth the early (6:20 am) wake.
We also booked spa treatments. The massage I took was 75 min and definitely worth it. The care giver was very professional and experienced. I suffered some pain after the treatment but it turns out that all my muscles are released.
During our stay we also wanted to see a little bit of the environment and experience the desert. In order to get around we booked a RZR drive with a guide. We had our personal RZR following the instructor through the desert.
It was a great experience and totally different from what we expected. At the beginning it was a bit scary as we drove with the vehicle through the sand and over the rocks but in the end we really enjoyed it. It was absolutely doable if you follow the instructions of a professional guide as you might otherwise get injured overestimating your driving abilities.
The only thing bothering us during our stay was that other guests when walking around the resort passed by "our" garden and pool area which made us feel uncomfortable. In the end we learned that we could have called for the security as people are not supposed to hang around the private areas of other rooms enjoying their view but we simply did not know about it.
The food needs to be mentioned as well. The breakfast was a large buffet with everything one can think about. The dinners were a la carte and only the starters were a buffet. At any point in time the food was delicious.
