All 44 rooms are spacious, with large balconies or terraces, and many open directly onto the infinity pool or the beach. The design palette mirrors the surrounding desert landscape, and in-room amenities include climate control, premium bedding, in-room safes, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Children under age 10 are not permitted; children aged 10 to 17 are welcome but must occupy an adjoining or connecting room rather than share a single bedroom with parents, which keeps the property’s adults-focused calm intact. The hotel manager, Yair David, is reported to personally greet guests and stay visible throughout the day.

The spa is where Kayma quietly shines. It is smaller than the spas at the larger Ein Bokek properties, and that is the point — it trades scale for intimacy, with wet and dry saunas, a Turkish hammam, a jacuzzi, and a well-equipped fitness room. Treatments incorporate Dead Sea minerals and advanced body-care techniques. The infinity pool sits between the hotel structures and the shore, with submerged loungers and a temperature maintained all year. The beach is adjacent, with a roped-off section reserved for guests.

Kayma’s kitchen, under Head Chef Amir Kalfon, sets it apart from every other Dead Sea hotel: it serves fully a la carte rather than buffet. Breakfast is menu-ordered and prepared individually, with ingredients sourced in part from Isrotel’s own dairy at Mitzpe Hayamim in the Galilee — think carpaccio of fresh figs with stracciatella, date honey, and candied almonds. After breakfast the lobby transitions into a fish and dairy restaurant for lunch and dinner, with Mediterranean-influenced dishes such as mushroom risotto with chestnut and parmesan, or fresh corn polenta with pecorino and asparagus. A beachfront steakhouse operates separately, grilling meats in an open-air setting.

Kayma serves couples, adult travelers, and anyone seeking the highest tier of Dead Sea accommodation on the Israeli side. The 44-room scale, a la carte dining, and age policy create an environment fundamentally different from the larger Ein Bokek resorts. Travelers with young children, or those after all-inclusive value, should look at Leonardo Club or the David Dead Sea Resort. Guests who want boutique design at a lower price point may prefer Milos Dead Sea by Herbert Samuel.
