Just before Shavuot, the water festival, we've found the best rooftop pools in Israel. Tel Aviv and Jerusalem stand out with unique views.

Just before Shavuot, known as the water festival, we have found the best hotels in Israel with amazing pools and rooftops because no vacation is complete without lounging by the pool. Asaf Ben Dov, VP of Marketing and Sales at Africa Israel Hotels, states: "One of the main attractions in hotels in Israel is the pool. In the summer, most vacationers rush to the pool right after breakfast and spend long hours there. Nowadays, the location and design of the pool in different hotels have become a real celebration. From rooftop pools to breathtaking infinity pools, people choose their hotel based on the pool and its surroundings. As a chain managing numerous hotel brands and planning to open several more in the coming years, we place great emphasis on the size and location of the pool as a key element for a perfect vacation."

At The Setai Tel Aviv, a hotel with 120 rooms and suites, you will find a rooftop infinity pool with a stunning panoramic view of the sea and surroundings. The hotel, located near the Clock Tower in Jaffa and just steps from the beach, preserves a structure from the 18th century, offering an authentic atmosphere without compromising on luxury. The pool, overlooking the Mediterranean beaches, has been recognized multiple times as the most beautiful pool in the world. It's simply perfect, but make sure to arrive early to secure a sunbed.
