In short: Vacation apartments in Eilat near the beach are usually a short walk from the shore, not right on it. City Apartments Eilat has 9 apartments in the city center, a 5-10 minute walk from the promenade and the North Beach, with no sea view. Sea views and beachfront (first line) locations are found mostly in hotels, at a higher price.

It's evening, the sun is going down, and you wonder whether "near the sea" means stepping out in flip-flops straight onto the sand. The answer depends on what exactly you mean by "near."

Eilat vacation apartments near the beach: how close is it really?

Many travelers search for "Eilat vacation apartments facing the sea" or "apartments in Eilat on the beach." In practice, "near the sea" in Eilat can mean three different things.

On the sea or facing the sea: first line to the beach, usually hotels, with a sea view.
Close to the sea: a 5-10 minute walk. This is where our apartments are.
Near the promenade: the hotel area in the city center, within walking distance of the promenade, the North Beach and the mall by the sea.

Let's be clear: we have no apartment right on the waterline, and none of the apartments has a sea view. If you are looking for Eilat vacation apartments close to the sea and you are happy to walk a few minutes, you get much more space and a better price.

Where can you rent an apartment on the seafront in Eilat?

Right on the waterline in Eilat there are mostly hotels. Independent vacation apartments are usually a few minutes' walk from the beach, in the hotel area and the city center.

Our apartments are in the hotel area in central Eilat, behind the Club Hotel. The addresses are Neviot Street, Tzofit Street and Topaz Street. From each of them it is a 5-10 minute walk to the promenade and the North Beach.

Which Eilat rentals have a sea view?

Apartments with a real sea view are rare, and they are usually part of a hotel or a first-line complex. Their prices are high accordingly.

Our apartments have no sea view. They offer two kinds of private outdoor space:

Balcony with a city view: Balcony Studio 11 (22 sqm, up to 4 guests, king bed, large balcony), Balcony Studio 10 (16 sqm, up to 3) and Palmore Suite 15.
Private garden: Garden Suite 7 (about 37 sqm) and Garden Suite 8 (about 32 sqm), up to 5 guests, and the garden is for the suite's guests only.

Insider tip: The gardens of Garden Suites 7 and 8 are completely private. They suit parents of toddlers who want room to run around without leaving the building.

What is the better value: beachfront or a 10-minute walk?

Here is the difference in brief:

Apartment in the city center: a 5-10 minute walk to the sea, a separate bedroom, a kitchenette and free parking.

For a couple who spends the day out, Studio 1 is a good fit. It is the cheapest option for couples: from about ₪285 per night (as of 10.11.2026, before the 5% direct-booking discount; the price varies by dates). For a family of 4-5, the 1-bedroom apartment 2 also starts from about ₪285 per night midweek.

Money-saving tip: Having breakfast in the apartment and going out in the evenings saves hundreds of shekels a week. Every apartment has a fridge, a stovetop, a kettle and a microwave, so most guests eat breakfast at home.
