The Setai Sea of Galilee

This sprawling resort on the Sea of Galilee offers astounding views and the most comfortable accommodations in the Galilee region.

• The dramatic sunsets that offer a breathtaking backdrop to the chic infinity pool.
• The plethora of amenities, including a pool, a fully-equipped gym, and spa
• The spacious Kinneret Villas, all of which are over 500 square feet and have their own private pools or jacuzzis.

In keeping with the brand name, The Setai Sea of Galilee offers a tranquil and luxurious resort experience in the foothills of the Galilee region. Each of the 110 villas has a private pool or jacuzzi and along with it, beautiful views of the surrounding Sea, Tiberias and the Golan Heights. The interiors are sleek, done in a neutral palette of creams and beiges, which complement the sub-tropical climate and the surroundings. All of the villas are incredibly spacious, and there are some connecting options available for families. The resort is currently expanding to add even more rooms and villas, but the expected completion date has yet to be determined. That said, there have been no complaints of construction or noise from current guests. 

The Setai offers nearly all of the amenities one could imagine, including a fully-equipped gym and a plush spa, but the real jewel is the outdoor infinity pool, enclosed by native palm trees with unobstructed views of the Sea. While the resort’s foundation is solid, it’s been observed that the service is not quite up to par with the standards of other Setai properties. Overall, though, the resort remains the strongest contender in the region to date.

Anyone staying in the Galilee, or those looking for a serene home base while exploring the Golan Heights (located about 45 minutes away by car).
