Best Hotels in Eilat for Every Budget — 31 Real Picks From £65 (2026)

The best hotels in Eilat run from Red Sea five-star resorts on the North Beach lagoon all the way down to a dive hostel near the coral reef at £65 a night — and because Eilat sits at Israel's sunny southern desert tip on the Gulf of Aqaba, it's one of the closest genuine winter-sun escapes a UK traveller can book. We've built this guide around two bands that make sense for a resort town: 7 best-rated resort hotels and 24 budget apartments, studios, guest houses and hostels we verified as real, distinct, currently bookable properties — 31 hotels in all, each linking straight to its live prices. Currency is the Israeli new shekel (ILS / ₪, about ILS 4.7 to £1), and Eilat is a duty-free zone, so some prices run a little lower than the rest of Israel.

Eilat is Israel's Red Sea resort, wedged at the country's southern point on the Gulf of Aqaba between Egypt's Sinai and Jordan's port of Aqaba. The draws sit close together: the coral reef just off the southern Coral Beach Nature Reserve, superb for snorkelling and diving; the Underwater Observatory Marine Park and Dolphin Reef; the North Beach lagoon with its promenade, marina and duty-free shopping strip; and desert excursions inland to Timna Park, with its rock formations and ancient copper mines. It's a year-round sun spot — mild and busy through the European winter, intensely hot in high summer.

The Best-Rated Stays in Eilat — Our Top 7 Resorts for 2026

Eilat's top tier is a strip of full-service Red Sea resorts, most on or beside the North Beach lagoon with private beach access, big pool complexes and half-board or all-inclusive packages. These are true holiday hotels and price like it — from around £389 up past £600 on peak dates — so always check what the rate includes and compare your travel weeks. We've grouped the five five-star resorts with the two strongest four-stars here, since in a resort town the best-rated stays are what most travellers compare side by side.

Dan Eilat Hotel — Eilat, Israel

1. Dan Eilat Hotel — Eilat · 5★ · 5,594 reviews · from ~£389/night. The most-reviewed and most-established resort in the guide, with well over 5,500 guest reviews — a landmark five-star right on the North Beach lagoon with a sprawling pool complex, private beach and a walkable location by the promenade, marina and duty-free strip. The reliable big-name choice, and the value entry into Eilat's five-star tier.

Royal Beach Eilat by Isrotel Exclusive — Eilat, Israel

2. Royal Beach Eilat by Isrotel Exclusive — Eilat · 5★ · 404 reviews · from ~£588/night. Isrotel's flagship on North Beach — a polished five-star with a large multi-level pool area, a spa, several restaurants and direct beach access on the lagoon. One of the most sought-after resort addresses in Eilat for a special-occasion or half-board holiday, steps from the promenade and shopping.

Royal Garden by Isrotel Collection — Eilat, Israel

3. Royal Garden by Isrotel Collection — Eilat · 5★ · 944 reviews · from ~£623/night. An all-suite Isrotel property built around a lush garden-and-pool courtyard, popular with families for its suite-style rooms with kitchenettes and its lagoon-side setting near North Beach. The priciest bed in this guide on peak dates, but the extra space and self-catering option suit longer resort stays.

Herods Palace Hotel — Eilat, Israel

4. Herods Palace Hotel — Eilat · 5★ · 75 reviews · from ~£596/night. Part of the grand Herods complex on North Beach, styled as a palatial resort with extensive pools, a private beach stretch and a full spa. A flagship five-star for travellers who want the full resort experience — pools, dining and beach all on site — on the lagoon strip.

King Solomon by Isrotel Collection — Eilat, Israel

5. King Solomon by Isrotel Collection — Eilat · 5★ · 103 reviews · from ~£491/night. A large, family-focused Isrotel resort on North Beach with a big pool complex, kids' facilities and a lively half-board atmosphere. Often better value than the Exclusive-tier Isrotels while keeping the same lagoon-side location and beach access — a solid five-star pick for a family holiday.

Yam Suf by Isrotel Collection — Eilat, Israel

6. Yam Suf by Isrotel Collection — Eilat · 4★ · 2,010 reviews · from ~£389/night. The best-reviewed four-star in the guide with more than 2,000 reviews, this Isrotel resort sits toward the southern shore near the reef, with a marine theme, pools and easy access to Coral Beach snorkelling. A strong-value pick that pairs resort comforts with a location closer to the diving than the North Beach hotels.

Agamim by Isrotel Collection — Eilat, Israel

7. Agamim by Isrotel Collection — Eilat · 4★ · 101 reviews · from ~£543/night. A low-rise, garden-and-lagoon Isrotel resort designed around water features and pools, with a calmer, more spread-out feel than the high-rise hotels. Family-friendly and relaxed, it's a comfortable four-star base near North Beach for travellers who want resort facilities without the tower-block scale.

Prices above are from-rates pulled on live searches while writing; your dates, board basis and room type will change the figure. Eilat's resort tier stretches from about £389 to over £620 a night on peak weeks — see all Eilat stays or search flights to ETM.

Cheap Hotels in Eilat — 31 Real, Bookable Options From £65

This is the tier we built this guide for — but be clear-eyed about what budget means in a resort town. Eilat has few cheap hotels in the city sense; instead the value here is in apartments, studios, guest houses and hostels, mostly self-catering, which lets you dodge Eilat's resort-priced restaurants. Rates start at about £65 for the Exodus dive hostel and run up to roughly £295 for a larger holiday apartment on peak dates — a genuinely wide spread, so check your travel weeks. Most sit in the town centre and the residential streets set back from North Beach, a short walk or cheap taxi from the promenade and beaches. Midweek from-prices were pulled on live searches while writing; peak Jewish-holiday weeks and the winter-sun season run higher. Budget rule in Eilat: self-cater and judge the all-in price — our hotel pages show the total on your dates.

Best Eilat Hotels for Specific Trips

Here's how the 31 hotels above sort by traveller type.

Best Eilat Hotels for Value

In a resort town the value plays are self-catering and shoulder-season timing. The Exodus Hostel & Dive Center (from ~£65) is the cheapest bed and a diver's base; City Suites and City Apartments Eilat give families kitchens and space in the £180–194 band; and in the resort tier the Dan Eilat (from ~£389) and four-star Yam Suf are the best-value full-service stays. Always compare the all-in price on your dates.

Best Eilat Hotels for Diving and Snorkelling

Divers should look south toward Coral Beach and the reef. The Exodus Hostel & Dive Center has its own dive centre and is the cheapest bed here, while Yam Suf by Isrotel puts resort comfort closer to the southern shore and the Coral Beach Nature Reserve than the North Beach hotels.

Best Eilat Hotels for Families

The big North Beach resorts are built for families: the Dan Eilat, King Solomon by Isrotel and all-suite Royal Garden have big pools, kids' facilities and beach access. On a budget, self-catering City Suites, City Apartments Eilat and the Flintstone Guest House give families kitchens and extra space.

Best Eilat Hotels for a Winter-Sun Break

For a European-winter escape you want the sun and the sea without the summer heat. The North Beach resorts — the Dan Eilat, Royal Beach and Herods Palace — deliver the full pool-and-beach holiday, while budget self-caterers can grab a central apartment like City Suites and use the free public beaches. Book ahead: winter is Eilat's busy season.

Best Eilat Hotels for Budget Solo Travellers

Exodus Hostel & Dive Center (£65, 745 reviews) and Arava Hostel (£130) are the natural solo-and-backpacker picks, both central-to-southern and sociable, and Amdar Hotel & Hostel offers cheaper shared options alongside private rooms.

Eilat Hotels FAQs

What are the best hotels in Eilat for every budget? For the top-rated resorts, the Dan Eilat on the North Beach lagoon and the Isrotel Exclusive pair — Royal Beach and Royal Garden — set the standard, with Herods Palace and King Solomon close behind. For four-star value, Yam Suf and Agamim by Isrotel are strong mid picks. On a budget, the Exodus Hostel & Dive Center by the Coral Beach reserve starts around £65 a night, with apartments and guest houses from roughly £117. This guide lists 31 real, bookable Eilat hotels, each linking to live prices.

How much does a budget hotel in Eilat cost per night in 2026? Eilat is a resort town, so budget here means apartments, guest houses and hostels rather than cheap city hotels. Real bookable rates start around £65 for a dive hostel dorm/room, with private studios and holiday apartments running roughly £117–230 a night on midweek dates. The very cheapest bed in this guide is the Exodus Hostel & Dive Center from about £65; most self-catering apartments sit in the £130–210 band.

What is the cheapest good hotel in Eilat? The Exodus Hostel & Dive Center is the standout cheap stay — from around £65 a night with more than 700 guest reviews, near the Coral Beach diving reserve. For a private apartment, City Suites (from ~£180, 500+ reviews) and City Apartments Eilat (from ~£194, 235 reviews) are the best-reviewed self-catering picks. The Flintstone Guest House (from ~£207, nearly 800 reviews) is the most-reviewed budget property in the guide.

Where should I stay in Eilat for the first time? First-timers usually base themselves on or near North Beach, the lagoon-and-promenade heart of the resort strip, where the big five-star hotels, the marina, the duty-free shops and most restaurants sit within walking distance. If diving and snorkelling are your priority, the Coral Beach area a few kilometres south — near the Coral Beach Nature Reserve and the Underwater Observatory — puts you next to the reef instead.

Which area of Eilat is best on a budget? The budget stays in this guide are apartments, studios and guest houses spread across the town centre and the residential streets set back from North Beach — a short walk or cheap taxi from the promenade and beaches. Self-catering here saves on Eilat's resort-priced restaurants. For divers, the Exodus Hostel down by Coral Beach is the cheapest bed and puts you at the reef.

Are there direct flights from the UK to Eilat? Eilat is served by Ramon Airport (ETM), about 18 km north of the resort near Timna, which handles some seasonal European charter and low-cost flights. Most UK travellers, though, fly to Tel Aviv (Ben Gurion, TLV) and connect — either a short domestic flight south or a roughly four-hour drive down through the Negev desert. Check seasonal ETM routes before booking, as they vary through the year.

How do I get from the airport to Eilat? Ramon Airport (ETM) is about 18 km north of Eilat; a taxi or pre-booked transfer into the resort takes around 20 minutes, and there are bus connections too. If you fly into Tel Aviv instead, you either take a domestic flight down to Ramon or drive/coach roughly four hours south through the Negev. Most resort hotels can arrange a paid transfer if you prefer a fixed price.

Is Eilat a good winter-sun destination? Yes — Eilat sits at Israel's southern desert tip on the Gulf of Aqaba and enjoys warm, dry, sunny weather almost year-round, which makes it one of the closest genuine winter-sun options for European travellers. Winter days are mild and pleasant for the beach and diving, while summer is very hot. Because of this the resort stays busy through the European winter, so book ahead for the peak weeks.

What currency is used in Eilat and do cards work? The currency is the Israeli new shekel (ILS / ₪), roughly ILS 4.7 to £1. Cards are widely accepted across hotels, restaurants and shops, and ATMs are easy to find. One local quirk: Eilat is a duty-free zone with no VAT on many goods and services, so some prices are a little lower than the rest of Israel — worth knowing for shopping on the resort strip.

How expensive are Eilat's five-star resorts? Eilat's top resorts are true holiday hotels and price accordingly — the five-stars in this guide run from roughly £389 a night at the Dan Eilat up to around £590–620 at the Isrotel Exclusive properties (Royal Beach, Royal Garden) and Herods Palace on peak dates. Many trade on half-board or all-inclusive packages, private beach access and big pool complexes, so compare what the rate includes on your dates.

What is there to do in Eilat besides the beach? Eilat's headline draw is the Red Sea coral reef — snorkelling and diving at the Coral Beach Nature Reserve, the Underwater Observatory Marine Park, and dive centres all along the southern shore. Beyond the water there's Dolphin Reef, glass-bottom boats, the marina and duty-free strip, and desert excursions inland to Timna Park with its rock formations and ancient copper mines. It packs a lot into a small area.

Is Eilat good for diving and snorkelling? Eilat is one of the most accessible Red Sea diving spots anywhere — the reef starts just off the southern Coral Beach shore, so you can snorkel straight from the beach at the Coral Beach Nature Reserve. There are numerous dive centres for courses and guided dives, and the Underwater Observatory lets non-divers see the reef too. Divers often base themselves near Coral Beach; the Exodus Hostel has its own dive centre.

Which Eilat hotels are best for families? The big resort hotels on North Beach are built for families — the Dan Eilat, the Isrotel properties (Royal Beach, Yam Suf, Agamim) and Herods Palace have large pool complexes, kids' clubs and beach access. On a budget, self-catering apartments and guest houses like City Suites, City Apartments Eilat and the Flintstone Guest House give families kitchens and more space at a fraction of the resort rate.

Can I self-cater in Eilat to save money? Yes, and it's the smart budget move. Eilat's restaurants are resort-priced, so many of the budget picks in this guide are studios and holiday apartments with kitchens — Carmona's Patio, City Suites, City Apartments Eilat, Eleni apartment and others. Buy groceries at the town supermarkets and you cut your daily costs sharply, leaving more for diving trips and excursions.

How many days do I need in Eilat? Three to four days suits most trips: a day or two on the beach and the reef, a day for Dolphin Reef or the Underwater Observatory, and a day for a desert excursion to Timna Park. Divers doing courses or serious reef time might stay a week. As a winter-sun beach base it also works as a longer, slower holiday if you just want the sun and the water.

Is Eilat safe for tourists? Eilat is a well-established resort town that sees large numbers of Israeli and international holidaymakers year-round, and the resort strip is walkable and tourist-focused. Standard beach-holiday awareness applies — sun protection in the strong desert heat, care in the water and on boats, and the usual belongings sense in busy areas. Check your government's current travel advice before booking, as guidance can change.

When is the best time to visit Eilat? Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer warm, comfortable weather ideal for the beach, diving and desert trips. Winter is mild and sunny — the winter-sun season that keeps Eilat busy from December to February. Summer (June–August) is intensely hot, often well over 38°C, though the sea stays warm and hotel deals can appear. Avoid booking blind over the main Jewish-holiday weeks, when the resort fills and rates climb.

Does Shabbat affect Eilat? Eilat is more relaxed about Shabbat than much of Israel because it's a resort town — many restaurants, shops and attractions on the tourist strip stay open Friday evening through Saturday, and hotels run as normal. That said, some public transport and local services still wind down, so if you're relying on buses or planning a Saturday excursion, check timings in advance.

What is the cheapest way to visit Eilat? Stay in a self-catering apartment or the Exodus Hostel rather than a resort hotel, cook some meals to dodge restaurant prices, and travel in the shoulder seasons rather than peak holiday weeks. Snorkelling from the Coral Beach shore is far cheaper than boat dives, and Eilat's duty-free status keeps some costs down. Flying into Tel Aviv and taking the coach south can also beat direct fares depending on the season.

How far is Eilat from Petra in Jordan? Eilat sits right on the border next to the Jordanian port of Aqaba, and Petra is a popular day trip or overnight from the resort via the Yitzhak Rabin/Wadi Araba border crossing just north of town — roughly two hours' drive each way once across. Many Eilat operators run organised Petra tours that handle the border formalities. Check current visa and crossing rules before you go, as they change.

Are Eilat hotels all-inclusive? Some are. Several of Eilat's resort hotels sell half-board or all-inclusive packages alongside room-only rates, which can be good value given the town's restaurant prices — but it varies by hotel and by the specific rate you pick. The budget apartments and guest houses in this guide are self-catering room-only. Our hotel pages show exactly what each rate includes before you book.

Which Eilat hotel has the most guest reviews? The Dan Eilat leads by a wide margin with more than 5,500 guest reviews — the most-reviewed and most-established resort in this guide. On the four-star side, Yam Suf by Isrotel has over 2,000 reviews. Among the budget stays, the Exodus Hostel (700+), the Flintstone Guest House (nearly 800) and City Suites (500+) have the strongest review counts.

Where should divers stay in Eilat? Divers usually base themselves near Coral Beach on the southern shore, where the reef, the Coral Beach Nature Reserve and most dive centres are. The Exodus Hostel & Dive Center is the natural budget pick — it has its own dive centre and is the cheapest bed in this guide. If you want resort comfort near the water instead, the southern hotels put you closer to the reef than the North Beach lagoon.

Is North Beach or Coral Beach better in Eilat? North Beach is the resort heart — the lagoon, the promenade, the marina, the duty-free shops and most of the big hotels and restaurants — best if you want the buzzy holiday strip. Coral Beach, a few kilometres south, is quieter and centred on the reef and diving, with the nature reserve and the Underwater Observatory. Beach-and-nightlife travellers pick North Beach; snorkellers and divers pick Coral Beach.

Do Eilat hotels have private beaches and pools? The big five-star resorts on North Beach have large pool complexes and, in several cases, private or dedicated beach areas on the lagoon — a core part of the Eilat resort experience. Budget apartments and guest houses generally don't, though some have shared pools; you'd use the public beaches, which are free and well-kept. Check each hotel's page for pool and beach details on your dates.

How do I book these exact hotels at the prices shown? Every hotel name in this guide links to that hotel's live page on JetMeAway — real-time rates, all taxes shown, and a date picker to match your trip.
