Sahara – Designed Duplex with a private pool

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Sahara – Designed Duplex with a private pool, honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the name. But this four-star property on Derekh HaTavlinim (Spice Route) completely surprised me — in the best way possible. The duplex design gives you this sense of having your own private villa rather than just another hotel room, and that feeling hits you the moment you walk through the door.

Location & Getting Around

You know what’s great about this spot in Eilat? It’s tucked away enough that you feel like you’ve escaped the tourist crowds, but you’re actually still close to everything that matters. The parking situation is a real win here — free and private, which anyone who’s driven around Eilat during peak season will tell you is worth its weight in gold. I mean, you can easily walk to the main attractions, but having your car right there gives you the freedom to explore the desert or head up to the mountains whenever you want.

The Space Itself

The duplex layout is honestly brilliant — it feels like you’re staying in someone’s really well-designed home rather than a typical hotel. The private pool is the real star here, and I spent way more time lounging by it than I initially planned. It’s not huge, but it’s perfectly sized for cooling off after a day in the desert heat or just floating around with a drink in the evening. The design throughout is modern and clean without being cold, if that makes sense — there’s actual personality in the space.

Why Couples Love It

I can totally see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something inherently romantic about having your own private pool and duplex space. You get that sense of intimacy and privacy that’s hard to find in traditional hotels. The recent guest rating of 8.3 for location really speaks to how well-positioned this place is — close enough to Eilat’s nightlife and beaches when you want them, but secluded enough that you can just disappear into your own little world when you don’t.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

With a 9.3 rating, this place is clearly doing something right, and after staying here, I get it. It’s that combination of privacy, thoughtful design, and location that’s hard to replicate. You’re not just getting a place to sleep — you’re getting an experience that feels more like borrowing a friend’s amazing vacation home. The private pool alone sets it apart from most accommodations in Eilat, but it’s really the overall vibe that makes it special. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway or just want somewhere unique to unwind, this duplex delivers on that promise of something different.
