Weekend in the Dead Sea in August sounded a bit risky, 41 cellos degrees most of the day which means: the best friend of the man in the resort there is the air conditioner. but still, we decided to travel for a few days in the lowest place in Israel. We chose to do this at the Prima Spa Club hotel.
I just love the dead sea
Prima Spa Club Hotel
The Prima Spa Dead Sea Club is a childless hotel that shares a lobby and pool with the “Oasis” hotel which is designed for the whole family. We were upgraded to an oasis suite, with a convenient exit to the lawn and private balcony. We spent the weekend among the hotel pool, the saltwater pool, the spa and of course the Dead Sea itself, which in August knows how to reach particularly boiling temperatures.
The concept of the hotel
The Prima chain’s chef, Lior Revivo, delivers a demonstration workshop to visitors at the hotel where he shows how to prepare and decorate a variety of dishes in a way that will not leave diners indifferent. The bonus for me: At the end of the workshop you can eat everything he has made! In the workshop I attended, the chef demonstrated how the dishes to prepare can also be visually upgraded with the right dishes and decorations.

If you are still hungry after the workshop you can continue to eat the chef’s dishes in the dining room.

Ein Bokek Beach – Dead Sea
Five minutes walk from the hotel is the beach named “Ein Bokek”. There are shaded seats and with plenty of room for sitting. Sitting on a beach towel is a great shot, but in a few minutes the sand beneath you will be so hot you will have to run into the water (warning: the water is also very hot).
On the beach
Near Ein Bokek beach there is a large supermarket at reasonable prices: a can of Coke cost 9 NIS and a bottle of beer 20. You can also find Dead Sea mud bags to enhance the experience and improve Instagram photos. By the way, the store is also open on Saturday. Besides, there are fresh cold water showers, which helped to cool down during the particularly hot moments.
Perfect lighting for pictures
The spa complex
They don’t just call this hotel a spa club, because it has a large and diverse spa complex. The salt water pool gives the buoyancy experience even to those who do not want to go to the beach, and there is a Turkish bath, wet and dry sauna and hot tub. In addition, the place offers a variety of treatments and massages, some with mud and salt water minerals.

So if you want to indulge yourself for a weekend – head to the Dead Sea.
