Bat Yam, located on the Mediterranean coast, just 5 km from Tel Aviv, is one of the most beautiful and cozy resorts in Israel. The municipality adheres to a strategy of developing tourism and resort sectors, thus striving to make housing prices affordable while creating the most comfortable conditions for relaxation. That’s why, no matter how luxurious Bat Yam hotels may appear, they cater to both VIP clients and budget tourists – there are 20 options for levels of comfort and prices. However, it should be noted that Israel is an expensive country, and the concept of “budget” can be viewed from different perspectives.
Almost all hotels in Bat Yam are built along the coast, and besides well-equipped beaches, they also have their own pools. The hotels also feature gyms and spa centers. Rooms are equipped with air conditioners, TVs, safes, internet access, and mini-kitchens for preparing dinner or breakfast.
For tourists who come with small children, the administration provides cribs. There are children’s rooms with various toys, and professional nanny services are available.
