The Shevet Achim Group has begun construction on a luxury resort in Ashkelon, investing in a project that will replace the derelict "Cliff" hotel, a well-known "white elephant" in the city. Construction on the cliffside hotel had halted about a decade ago due to the original developer's financial difficulties. The new hotel, designed by Itzik Levy Architecture and Engineering, is slated to open in March 2027.
The resort will span approximately 20,000 square meters. Of this, 6,000 square meters will be dedicated to 98 smart rooms facing the sea, controllable via an app. The remaining 14,000 square meters will be public areas. The complex will feature what is described as Israel's largest spa, encompassing around 30 treatment rooms, a hammam, saunas, an indoor pool, salt and pressure rooms, ice baths, and a VIP area.
Additionally, the resort will include a gym, a Pilates studio, paddle courts, and a rooftop with a restaurant, bar, and pool. Several concept restaurants, including Asian and Italian, will also operate on-site. "The group is developing a luxury resort chain," stated Yehuda Yifrah, a co-owner of Shevet Achim Group. The company specializes in lifestyle and spa hotels and also owns the "Dream Island" resort near Sde Yoav and another resort on Migdal Beach by the Sea of Galilee.
