Connecting with nature: Rooms made of stone and luxurious tents A veritable private sanctuary offering an escape from the bustle of everyday life, Moa Living covers 15 acres of land. It allows you to completely immerse yourself in the profound tranquility of the desert. Built with an ecological approach, using natural materials and in complete harmony with the landscape, the resort has 30 accommodation units, including double and family stone rooms, as well as luxury royal Rajasthani tents (all air-conditioned). Some rooms also have their own small, heated wading pools, and all the rooms are decorated in desert colors with beautiful Indonesian furniture. The tents are very spacious and similarly decorated, making for an ideal option for families. Daily wellness activities: An invitation to reconnect with yourself, body and soul Moa Living is entirely dedicated to physical and mental wellbeing. It offers a rich program of daily wellness activities open to everyone (at no additional charge). We started the morning with yoga and in the afternoon, we participated in an intuitive writing workshop. In the evening, we took part in a fire ritual of purification (which takes place every evening), where we took a handful of myrrh and frankincense, symbolizing feelings and thoughts we wanted to get rid of, and threw them into the fire to make room for better ones. At 10pm, we participated in a Sound Journey relaxation session, laying down with our eyes closed in a cozy yurt tent and relaxing to the sound of Tibetan and crystal bowls. The variety of wellness activities on offer is extremely broad, and includes rebirthing sessions, meditative walks,

Temazcal rituals, stargazing, massage therapy, and more. Desert excursions and soaking in hot tubs: The ultimate TLC With its beautiful orchard, ecological lake, palm trees and seating areas, Moa Living feels like a fairytale desert oasis. The ideal place to detoxify, body and soul. The sauna building offers Temazcal steam bath rituals, inviting you to soak in an outdoor 38°C hot tub (highly recommended in the evening and at night), or if you prefer, in an ice-cold (3°C) bath. Guests are also invited to enjoy the many desert hiking trails all around the resort, and have the option to visit the ancient ruins of the Moa settlement. A surf & turf experience: A rich plant-based and seafood buffet The large tent at the entrance to the Moa compound houses the resort restaurant and bar that’s open throughout the day, serving breakfast and dinner (if you book half board, you can enjoy the lunchtime menu at an additional fee). Meals are served in a rich buffet style on a beautiful antique wooden sideboard, while delicious breads, pizzas, and focaccias are baked in the adjacent brick taboon. The menu is plant-based, but includes fish and seafood dishes as well, with vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free options also available. The bar next to the restaurant offers a selection of cocktails based on herb extracts brewed onsite, as well as winter sangria, hot drinks, and healthy smoothies. Good to know: During the month of March, guests can enjoy up to 25% discount for midweek accommodation. Make sure to check the most updated prices via the resort’s website: moa-living.co.il ˆ
