Comfortably nestled beside the sandy shores of Akhziv Beach, for those that love a stroll along the seafront, you couldn’t wish for a more idyllic location. During the summer months, you might be lucky enough to spot the native sea turtles laying their eggs here and if natural swimming lagoons sound like a bit of you, you’ve struck lucky once again. The apartment itself is crisp and contemporary but cosy all the while. All in all, understated is the charm here, but the addition of a pool table, table tennis table and large, wall–mounted TV ensure entertainment is never in short supply. If you ask us, the real jewel in the crown is the balcony area. Fully furnished with a table and cushioned chairs, here you’ll also find a swinging, hammock–style chair, serving up the ideal spot to sip your morning coffee. Just sit back, relax and sway, soaking up those sensational shorefront views as you go. We’re sure you’ll be in no rush to leave your beautiful beachfront base, but with plenty to see and do closeby, a little adventure is sure to make your trip extra special. With a bar, restaurant, surfboard rental and more, Banana Beach is an absolute must–visit. Venture a teeny bit further and you’ll come to the national park of Akhziv. An ancient site with ruins dating back to the Phoenician era, wide lawns, and natural shallow pools, make full use of this picture–perfect spot by packing a picnic and dining al fresco on–the–go.
