Experience the natural wonders of Tiberias Thermal Hotel, a unique thermal spring and spa nestled in the heart of Galilee. Located near the shores of the Sea of Galilee, this hotel offers a relaxing retreat amidst breathtaking scenery. The water is rich in chloride minerals and has been valued within a long thermal tradition for centuries. Come rejuvenate your body and soul in this tranquil oasis.
Insider tip — Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee sits 210 m below sea level, the lowest city in Israel, where geothermal sodium-chloride waters have been prized since Roman times when the baths served legionnaires and pilgrims alike. The modern hotel spa channels these mineral waters at 40 °C into treated pools, complemented by Dead Sea mud treatments. The profound below-sea-level setting means air pressure is slightly elevated, which many guests find unexpectedly energising. Sunset over the Galilee from the hotel terrace, with the Golan Heights silhouetted across the water, is not to be missed.
