This charming apartment in Bat Yam sits just south of Tel Aviv. Perched high up in a modern building, you’ll have impressive views across the Mediterranean on hand at every moment. The open plan design allows the delicious aroma of a shakshouka breakfast to flow throughout the home, whipped up in the sleek kitchen – though we suggest the best spot to enjoy your hard work is out on the balcony with the early morning sun illuminating the city. If you prefer an active start, head to the building’s communal gym for a workout before heading to Rishon LeTsiyon Beach for a day on the waves. If you need to catch up with those all-important emails, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly space, or why not set yourself up on the master suite’s private balcony for a panoramic-viewed workstation? After spending an afternoon in Tel Aviv city centre, sampling the vibrant local cuisine and visiting the cultural hotspots, curl up on the mint green sofa together to watch a movie as the stars spread across the sky.
