Tzukim, past the Ursula building before the village gate, Tzukim
Seven isolated suites with heated stone-mosaic plunge pools at the edge of Tzukim, facing the Nahal Ashosh reserve, with a hilltop restaurant for breakfast.
Eretz Arava stands in an isolated corner at the edge of Tzukim, facing the Nahal Ashosh nature reserve, on about 24 dunams that took some ten years to build. Each of its seven suites hides a stone-mosaic plunge pool on its terrace, shaded by palm fronds in summer and heated to 38 degrees in winter. On a hilltop at its heart, in a building of Moroccan arches and mashrabiyas, its restaurant serves breakfast every day, partly from its own organic vegetable and herb garden. Guests must be 14 or older, no pets are taken, and loudspeakers and music on the terraces are not allowed.

It is not on the list that the Ministry of Religious Services' kashrut portal keeps for the Arava communities (under the Jordan Valley regional religious council), read on 5 October 2026, and its own pages show no certificate. We found no published accessibility statement, so call ahead if step-free access matters to you.
The name does not appear in the Companies Registrar, which points to a sole proprietorship or partnership rather than a company. Central Arava Regional Council does not publish its business licence register online, so the licence could not be checked.
