Design

The Setai Sea of Galilee showcases 158 Kinneret villas with pools or villas with wooden built hot tubs that are centered around an outdoor infinity pool, where only a handful of swaying palm trees come between you and the ancient sea. The Villas range in sizes but each comprises of a large double bed with fresh white linen sheets, a fully equipped minibar, a large spacious bathtub for two with a rainfall shower with a two-sink vanity and countertop and a private terrace. The interiors reflect the surrounding landscapes of Northern Israel such as indigenous wood, basalt stone and black metals.

Culinary experience

The dining experience draws upon the bounty of the region, with a focus on fresh, local cuisine, washed down with Israeli wine and spirits. The main dining area, the Lounge Bar is stylish and elegant and serves an array of middle eastern cuisines, such as fresh salads and personally made shakshuka, with staff members making custom fruit smoothies and juices. There is also a room service menu for you to enjoy from the comfort and privacy of your villa. 

Experiences

Activities are plentiful at The Setai with its rich ancient history and surrounding towns such as Tiberias which is very much worth visiting. If a little extra relaxation is what you are after, head to the impressively serene spa and bathe in the peaceful and quiet surroundings. Enjoy a treatment menu, provided by top Israeli practitioners who only use the finest quality materials to ensure that you leave feeling rejuvenated and calm. 

Why we love it

Take your bicycle down the garden path towards the sea of Galilee where you can gaze in awe of the holy lake while cycling around the beach path. The views of the famously vast lake with verdant vistas are incredible. You will pass through the beautiful and varied scenery, past sites of ancient history and religious importance and through famous villages and cities and you will find beaches where you can stop to cool off.
