Spa Hotels Near Former Sde Dov Airport

Sde Dov Airport closed in 2019, and its domestic flights moved to Ben Gurion, so this page is really about the north of the Tel Aviv seafront, between the old airfield, the Tel Aviv Port and the beaches of the promenade. The spa hotels listed here are mostly a short walk from the sand: Alexander Tel Aviv near Metzitzim Beach, Leonardo Gordon Beach near Hilton Beach, Herods near Gordon Beach, Dan Tel Aviv near Frishman Beach. A few sit inland, around Dizengoff Square and the Diamond District. I rank them by the quality of the spa offer and by what the reviews say.

The north of Tel Aviv mixes residential streets, the restaurants of the Tel Aviv Port and the long Mediterranean promenade that runs south through Metzitzim, Hilton, Gordon and Frishman beaches. The former Sde Dov airfield sits by the mouth of the Yarkon River, next to the port. Inland, Dizengoff Square anchors the Bauhaus-era city centre, while the towers of the Diamond District mark the business side of the city, on the border with Ramat Gan.

Seafront spas near the old airfield

A spa hotel in this part of Tel Aviv works for two kinds of trip: a city break built around the beach, or a stopover before a flight from Ben Gurion, now the airport for every route that once used Sde Dov. Most addresses here pair a spa with a pool and sea access, and several, including Dan Tel Aviv, Alexander Tel Aviv and Shalom & Relax, list an airport shuttle. I would choose by setting first, seafront or city centre, then by the type of pool.

The closest hotel to the former runway is A23 Boutique Hotel Tel Aviv, described as near Sde Dov Airport, with stylish rooms, a spa, a bar and a restaurant, a kid-friendly approach and an airport shuttle, rated 8.8 from 451 reviews. Alexander Tel Aviv Hotel is a short walk from Metzitzim Beach, the stretch of sand next to the Tel Aviv Port, and pairs sea views and a rooftop restaurant with an upscale spa and a gym. It scores 8.6 from 1,160 reviews, and its family-friendly rooms make it the seafront choice I would suggest for parents in the north of the city.

Further south along the promenade, Leonardo Gordon Beach sits a two-minute walk from Hilton Beach with direct beach access, an outdoor pool, a spa, a hot tub and a fitness centre, plus free breakfast and Wi-Fi, for an 8.6 rating from 909 reviews. Herods Tel Aviv, five minutes from Gordon Beach, is the most reviewed hotel on the page, with 8,420 opinions and an 8.4 score, and combines a pool, a spa, a fitness centre and complimentary breakfast. Both suit travellers who want the spa as part of a beach day rather than as the main reason for the trip.

For the most complete wellness offer, I would look at Dan Tel Aviv Hotel. This five-star address near Frishman Beach has two seawater pools, a spa, two restaurants and a fitness centre, with an airport shuttle, and holds 8.6 from 2,876 reviews. Shalom & Relax takes a smaller, boutique approach: nautical-themed rooms, a spa, a roof deck with sea views, free breakfast and an airport shuttle, and the best rating on this page, 9.4 from 819 reviews. It also accepts pets, a rare point among spa hotels in central Tel Aviv, and it describes itself as ideal for families.

Away from the beach, three addresses keep the spa in a city setting. Pixel Hotel by Loginn, near Dizengoff Square, scores 9.2 from 294 reviews with an outdoor pool, spa facilities and pet-friendly rooms, while Hotel RECEPTION, within walking distance of the same square, rates 9.0 from 125 reviews and offers a pool, a spa and a restaurant. Hotel Indigo Tel Aviv - Diamond District by IHG, a five-star property with a rooftop outdoor pool and a spa, and Leonardo Plaza City Tower, with its outdoor pool, spa and airport shuttle, suit business trips around the Diamond District better than a beach holiday.

A traveler's take

For a spa stay on this stretch of coast, I would choose Dan Tel Aviv Hotel: its two seawater pools and spa sit a short walk from Frishman Beach, and the airport shuttle simplifies the trip to Ben Gurion, which took over the flights of Sde Dov. On a smaller scale, my advice is Shalom & Relax, whose roof deck looks over the Mediterranean and whose 9.4 rating is the highest on this page.

Shalom & RelaxSpa9.4

Shalom & Relax

Nautical-themed rooms, a spa, and a roof deck with sea views

Why guests love it

Shalom & Relax is a bright four-star boutique hotel in Tel Aviv with nautical-themed rooms and a roof deck looking out to sea, a pleasant spot for a family evening. Breakfast and Wi-Fi are free, there is a spa and a restaurant, and the hotel is kid-friendly, accessible and pet-friendly. An airport shuttle is available. Guests rate it 9.4 across 819 reviews. Sde Dov Airport closed in 2019, so I would book it as a Tel Aviv beach base with flights via Ben Gurion.

Pixel Hotel by Loginn - פיקסל, מלון מבית לוגאין

Modern hotel with a pool and spa, steps from Dizengoff Square

Why guests love it

I would book Pixel Hotel by Loginn for a city stay in Tel Aviv built around Dizengoff Square, where cafés and shops are on the doorstep. The outdoor pool and the spa give you somewhere to recover after a flight, and the bar, kitchen amenities and laundry service make longer stays easier. Pets are welcome and the building is smoke-free. A 9.2/10 score from 294 reviews is excellent, and I would expect street life rather than quiet evenings.

Hotel RECEPTION - מלון ריספשן

Dizengoff Square is a short stroll away, the outdoor pool gives children a break from sightseeing, and the restaurant, bar and room service make evenings easy. Parents can use the spa, and free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, laundry and accessible facilities cover the practical side. Its 9.0 rating from 125 reviews is excellent.

Leonardo Plaza City Tower is listed as kid-friendly, and its facilities back that up for a family stay in the Tel Aviv area. The outdoor pool is the obvious draw for children, the varied dining options make mealtimes easy, and parents can book time in the spa. The airport shuttle removes the need to arrange a taxi with luggage and kids, which is the main practical benefit before or after a flight.

Relaxed hotel near Gordon Beach with kosher dining and shuttle

Why guests love it

Debrah Brown by Brown Hotels is a relaxed Tel Aviv option a short walk from Gordon Beach, which makes beach days with children simple. Rooms are unfussy, with city or sea views, and there is a hot tub and free Wi-Fi. Families who keep kosher get a kosher restaurant and a synagogue on site, which is rare. The hotel also runs an airport shuttle. Guests rate it 7.8 across 842 reviews, so I would see it as practical rather than polished.

No. Sde Dov Airport in north Tel Aviv closed in 2019, and its domestic flights were transferred to Ben Gurion Airport. The hotels on this page remain a good base for the northern seafront, but your flights will leave from Ben Gurion, so plan the transfer accordingly.
