Six Senses Shaharut

Nestled into the cliffside, this luxury desert retreat focuses on modern sustainability while embracing the fascinating biblical relevance of the Negev. Expect world-renowned first-class service and quality, typical of the Six Senses brand, alongside a magical, immersive experience of Israel's largest desert. 

The elegant suites and villas of the hotel are decorated in soothing desert-inspired colours, maximising views of your dramatic surrounds with expansive panoramic windows. Their elegantly natural structure exposes white stone in the walls, while light woods are used in the furnishings to offer a minimalist, serene character. The pool villas are a superb choice for the option of a refreshing swim in your own private pool, as well as a terrace with loungers to soak up some desert sunshine. 

Indulge your taste buds with some fine dining at Six Senses Shaharut. Exquisite Israeli and Mediterranean cuisine are served at the hotel's restaurant, with fresh ingredients from the onsite organic gardens, and true finesse from chef Ohad Levi.

If you're heading out for the day, just ask for a delicious tailor-made picnic spread, with yard-to-table delicacies and pairings with the region's best wines. 

If your desert surrounds weren't already peaceful enough, The Six Senses Spa is a truly tranquil haven, offering a range of treatments to soothe and rejuvenate the mind and body.

The activities are endless when it comes to filling your time here. Begin the day with an outdoor yoga session, and end with a star gazing session as the night sky becomes a glittering carpet due to the near-zero light pollution. Embark on a desert hike like no other, with innumerable trails on your doorstep, or a take a day trip to the other-worldly landscapes of Timna Park. Discover the centre where the desert's camels are cared for, or visit a local community to see how the locals live in these unique conditions.
