Sea Salt & Green Leaves

Just along the coast from Tel Aviv, this family-sized villa puts you a short walk from the beach and an easy drive into the city centre. Your local beach is Rishon LeTsiyon Beach where you’ll find seafood restaurants, wine bars and cafes lining the long stretch of sand, just a few minutes' walk away. Once you’ve had your fill of salt and sand, head back to your villa for a soak in the eight-person Jacuzzi in the privacy of your plant-filled backyard. Towering palms, ferns and banana-leaf trees shade the dining table from the midday sun where a gas grill can provide alfresco feasts.

Slide open the glass doors to the huge living room to blend the terrace with the indoors. A long sofa sits in the sunshine by floor-to-ceiling glass and there’s a stylish, ink-black dining table for the group to gather around. In the kitchen, a sleek island provides plenty of prep space and a spot for guests to sip a local Syrah on bar stools. Upstairs, you’ll find most of the bedrooms – some with access to the first-floor terrace furnished with lounge furniture and the perfect spot to settle in with a good book.
