This apartment is all about wellness and luxurious living – a private hammam with beautiful mosaics, a sculptural bathtub, a custom made marble sink, an outdoor Jacuzzi, you name it, this home has it. Stylish with exotic touches and a modern take on coastal style, it’s great for a couple looking for a romantic getaway (especially considering the open layout). The two rooftop terraces are bigger than the home itself – 2,700 square feet that house many surprises, including a six-person hot tub, plus gorgeous views of the Mediterranean and Old Jaffa, there’s never a dull moment to be had. If you’re keen to get out and explore, the eclectic Jaffa Flea Market is a mere three-minute walk from your building. Begin mornings with a stroll along the Homat HaYam Promenade, five minutes away, before finding a spot on Jaffa Beach to while away the hours in the golden sunshine. Retreat home in the early evening to fire up the barbecue, open a bottle of Israeli wine, and watch dusk fall over Tel Aviv and beyond.

Local guide
About Old Jaffa
Old Jaffa is not like the rest of Tel-Aviv - and you feel it immediately. Old and new, ancient and bohemian collide to create a vibrant neighbourhood where art galleries, design boutiques, and restaurants lie side-by-side to archaeological excavation sites. Old Jaffa is a maze of Ottoman sandstone homes along narrow, winding alleyways with beautiful Mediterranean-blue doors and shutters that make it feel like you're worlds apart from modern Tel-Aviv...
