The Negev Desert is the epitome of desert landscapes and offers a host of activities from discovering archaeological and natural landmarks right through to extreme sports, family-inclusive pursuits such as camel or jeep safaris and excursions to the Red Sea.

The Red Canyon in the Eilat Mountains is one of Israel’s most beautiful yet accessible hiking trails. Twenty minutes north of Eilat, the Red Canyon offers an undisturbed hike through the natural canyons. The Red Canyon gets its name from the phenomenon which occurs when sunlight hits the reddish rock that lines the canyon, giving it an intense reddish color.

60 suites and pool villas have been thoughtfully designed and integrated into the desert topography to preserve the natural terrain. Six Senses luxury hotel in Israel features villas that are built from and inspired by local rocks and pigments, with many furnishing elements sourced from a partnership with local community artisans.

Six Senses Shaharut offers a creative approach to cuisine, combining the best of Israeli and Mediterranean influences while embracing the Eat With Six Senses philosophy of local, fresh and seasonal produce. Where possible, ingredients are harvested from the resort’s organic gardens and carefully selected farmers at the nearby kibbutzim. We are also respectful of local culture and traditions and, while we are not kosher certified, we avoid serving ingredients such as pork and shellfish.
