Ein Gedi Spa, Wellness center near Dead Sea, Israel
Ein Gedi Spa was a wellness facility near the Dead Sea offering treatments in pools filled with mineral-rich water. The location sat within a rocky landscape with views of surrounding hills and cliffs.
The center was operated by Ein Gedi Kibbutz and originally stood directly on the Dead Sea shore. Environmental changes and falling water levels led to its permanent closure in 2020.
The facility offered treatments using Dead Sea mud and mineral-rich water, reflecting wellness practices rooted in the region's natural resources and ancient traditions.
The facility was open daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with special rates for hotel guests and age restrictions on some services. Visitors should bring swimwear, towels, and sun protection.
The site was vulnerable to sinkholes and ground instability caused by the shrinking Dead Sea water level. These natural phenomena ultimately accelerated the facility's closure.
