Nirvana on the Dead Sea Resort Israel

For those searching for a unique holiday experience, Nirvana on the Dead Sea Resort offers luxury and healing waters close by the world’s lowest land elevation at 400m below sea level. The salt-laden waters have been known for their medicinal properties for millennia, and the hotel offers timeshare units sleeping two persons with ensuite facilities but no kitchens.

Set right on a private beach and surrounded by desert dunes, Nirvana offers a fully-equipped exercise area, an outdoor swimming pool, mini-golf course, whirlpool hot tub, sauna and a health spa giving traditional treatments using the unique waters and other local remedies for skin and lung problems. There’s a restaurant on site as well as a snack bar.

Families are welcome and a kids’ pool, playground, child care and organised activities give parents time to relax and enjoy spa treatments or time on their own. Evening entertainments and nightlife provide the chance to meet new friends.

To explore this fascinating area of Israel, a hired car is essential, with daytrips to iconic landmarks such as Masada, Qumran where the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered, and the caves of Mount Sodom. Ein Gedi Nature Reserve is a true oasis in the desert, and Jerusalem is the world’s quintessential spiritual destination.
