resort facilities until 5pm, so even if you just spend one night here, you get to experience two days of spa treatments and pampering, without any extra charge. Guests who come for just a day, without spending the night, are given a black wristband that allows them to enjoy all the facilities all day long – pools, spa treatments, and food. Giant suites and gourmet food Dream Island has 26 suites, some of which include a Jacuzzi, a 2-person sauna cabin, and a relaxation garden, while others also have a private pool. During your stay, the only time you’ll need to get out of your bathrobe will be at the entrance to Armonim, the resort restaurant. Armonim is a veritable culinary institution in south-central Israel and used to be located in the nearby Moshav Sgula in its previous version. The Dream Island Armonim is a Kosher meat restaurant with a menu of gourmet dishes served in a relaxed atmosphere. Guests who come to the resort just for the day, can enjoy the restaurant all through the afternoon, while guests who spend the night also get to taste the evening menu which is served to the sound of a live DJ set. All guests are welcome to enjoy the food served in the food trucks spread across the resort grounds, free of charge. To all this you can add Pilates classes, makeup workshops, wine tasting sessions, not to mention the chance to see ancient ruins of the Biblical city of Gat, discovered here during the resort renovations. How much does it cost: a package deal including access to the pools, Hammam, food truck area, and Armonim restaurant, starts at NIS 590 per person. A deluxe package which also includes a massage and access to the spa, starts at NIS 880 per person. A night’s stay in one of the suites starts at NIS 2,250 during the week, breakfast included, and at NIS 2,900 on a Friday, breakfast included. dream-island.co.il ˆ
