A vacation rental in Eilat has become the most popular alternative to a hotel — and for good reason. With a private kitchen, separate rooms, and sometimes a private pool, it offers a completely different experience. But how do you choose correctly?
Why choose a vacation rental over a hotel?
Real savings on food: Breakfast, lunch, and snacks — with an equipped kitchen, a family of 4 can save 300-500 ₪ per day on food. For a 5-night trip, this amounts to savings starting from 1,500 ₪.
Privacy and space: No neighbors in the corridor, no public breakfasts with tired children, and no queues for the lobby. The home is yours.
Private pool: More than 40% of Livo's properties come with a private pool — a huge advantage for children and couples who want privacy.
Flexible hours: Early check-in, late check-out, and the ability to return to the pool at 3 PM — a hotel doesn't offer that.

City areas — where to book?
Eilat City Center
The commercial heart of the city. Close to everything — restaurants, shopping, the mall. Not the quietest, but the most convenient.
North Beach
The strip between the hotels and the sea. Easy access to the beach, many seafood restaurants. Apartments here sell out quickly — book early.
Eilat Port
A unique boutique area. Close to upscale restaurants, galleries, and nightlife. Less family-oriented, more for couples.
Shahamon
Quieter neighborhoods, a bit further from the sea but more affordable prices. Suitable for those who want a quiet base and are traveling with a car.
What to check before booking?
Internet connection: If you work remotely — check that the fiber optic is fast.
Floor and elevator: Not all buildings in Eilat have an elevator. With small children — a ground-floor apartment is a treat.
Parking: If you're traveling with a car — make sure there's adjacent parking. Public parking in Eilat has a fee.
Air conditioning: Summer in Eilat = 40+ degrees. Strong air conditioning is not an option — it's a must.
Linens and towels: Included in most Livo properties. For cheaper properties — ask in advance.
