You already know what a night in a seafront hotel costs, and you're looking for a way to come home with plenty of great memories and without a hole in your pocket. The good news: Eilat is one of the easiest places in Israel for a budget-friendly holiday, if you know where to look.
Where can you find affordable vacation apartments in Eilat?
The best place is the direct booking site of the apartment owner, because there is no agent commission. It also helps to look for apartments in the city center rather than right on the water, and to check midweek dates. Those three things together cut the price more than any other trick.
An apartment in the city center, a few minutes' walk from the promenade, costs less than what you'll find on the waterfront line. You still reach the beach on foot, and in return you get a kitchenette and a place to sit and relax, without paying for a location you don't need.
If you want to understand what affects the price in the first place, we have a separate guide: Cheap vacation apartments in Eilat: what affects the price. Here we focus on practical ways to save.

Direct booking discount: how much does it save?
When you book directly at cityeilat.com you get an automatic 5% discount, with no code and no hunting for a coupon. It's a real amount on a stay of several nights, and there are no hidden conditions. You'll see exact dates and prices in the availability calendar on the booking page.
Save: Search the same dates on several sites and check us last. The 5% discount appears automatically on direct bookings, so the comparison is always worth a minute.
An Eilat apartment midweek: why is it cheaper?
Demand is higher on weekends and holidays, so Sunday to Thursday nights are usually cheaper. A three or four night midweek stay gives you a quieter beach, an open promenade and restaurants without lines. It's a cheap Eilat holiday that also feels more relaxed.
For example: in autumn 2026 a midweek studio starts at about ₪315 per night. This is an estimated price from the live calendar on the site, and it changes by date and availability. Check your dates in the calendar to see an exact price.
Studios for couples: don't pay for space you don't need
A couple doesn't need 60 m². Studio 1 suits a simple getaway, and Studios 10 and 11 add a balcony with a city view. The smaller apartments are usually the cheapest way to stay with us, and each one has a full kitchenette.
Cooking in the kitchenette: the saving you don't notice right away
A family of four eating three restaurant meals a day reaches big numbers quickly. Breakfast in the kitchenette, pasta or shakshuka in the evening, and one meal out to enjoy yourselves will change the bill. You'll find easy ideas in cooking in an Eilat vacation apartment, and details on the equipment in an apartment with a fully equipped kitchen.
Shopping, VAT and the supermarket
Eilat is a VAT-exempt area, and as we understand it under current policy this applies to some purchases made by tourists. Check in advance what applies to what you're buying. To read more about the Eilat free trade zone and about buying groceries, see supermarkets in Eilat and VAT.
Local tip: Do one big shop on arrival day: water, fruit, milk, bread and snacks. That way you won't buy something at the kiosk by the beach every day at a higher price.
Cheap vacation apartments in Eilat: what to skip and what not to
An affordable price doesn't mean compromising on the basics. Here's how to check:
You can skip: a sea view, a shoreline location, a large balcony. None of our apartments has a sea view, and the promenade is a short walk away.
Don't skip: air conditioning, a kitchenette, parking, and clear check-in terms.
Always check: what's included in the price, how many guests are allowed in the apartment, and the real distance to the heart of the city.
Check-in with us is from 15:00 and check-out is by 11:00. Early arrival or late departure is possible subject to availability and for a fee. On the morning of arrival we send you a personal door code, and if the code doesn't work twice, call or message us on WhatsApp at 08-6338361.
When is a cheap Eilat holiday really worth it?
Summer is very hot and the Tishrei holidays are crowded, so those are the most expensive and busiest periods. Spring and autumn are pleasant, and winter is quiet and comfortable for day trips. For planning by month, see when to go to Eilat or the weather and climate forecast. If your dates are flexible, a midweek date outside a holiday is almost always the budget choice.
A cheap holiday for a group or a big family
When 5 guests share one apartment, the cost per person goes down. Our family apartments, with a bedroom and a living room, are 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 and 15, all up to 5 guests. Read Eilat vacation apartments for families to know what to check before booking.
Save: A big family doesn't have to rent two hotel rooms. One apartment with a bedroom and a living room with a sofa bed is usually enough for five, at a lower cost.
