Ma’In Hot Springs Resort & Spa

Dead Sea Highway


This luxurious resort is shaded by mature trees and boasts extravagant arabesque features. Many of the rooms – which have sumptuous bathrooms – share a view of the steaming, sulphurous hillsides. Windows onto the waterfalls from the restaurant bring the hot springs to your table. Fine dining includes herbs and vegetables from the hotel’s organic garden.

The hotel organises daily excursions to the Dead Sea, but chances are you’ll find it hard to leave the sanctuary of its intimate spa.
