About This Place

Just a short drive from Jerusalem, on a five-acre stretch of northern Dead Sea shoreline, Biankini Village Resort occupies a world that feels more Marrakech than Judean Desert. The property’s Moroccan architecture — stone and wood suites, textured plasterwork, lantern-lit courtyards — creates an atmosphere of unhurried luxury that is rare on the Israeli side of the Dead Sea. At its heart is the Biankini Restaurant, overseen by chef Dina Dagan, which brings Moroccan and Middle Eastern flavours to the table in a setting where the smells of spice and sea air meet at every meal. The restaurant operates under kosher supervision seven days a week.

The resort’s 74 accommodation units spread across several formats: mini suites of roughly 42 square metres with a bedroom, living room, kitchenette, and private porch; sea-facing guest rooms; and larger villa-style options suited to families or groups. A semi-Olympic outdoor swimming pool, a children’s pool, a salt room, a spa with Swedish massage treatments, and a private beach with lifeguard service round out the facilities. Whether you come to float in the Dead Sea, eat well, or simply let time slow down beside a pool, Biankini gives you the infrastructure to do all three without leaving the property.

Accommodation

Biankini’s mini suites are the signature unit: approximately 42 square metres divided between a bedroom, a separate living area, a kitchenette, and a private porch — enough room to feel like you have your own slice of the resort rather than a corridor room. Each is independently designed and furnished, with the Moroccan aesthetic running through textiles, fittings, and lighting. Sea-facing rooms offer direct views across the northern Dead Sea toward the Jordanian mountains. Larger villa-style units are available for families and groups who need more than one sleeping area.

A tent encampment area is also listed as part of the property’s accommodation offering for guests who prefer a more informal, open-air experience alongside the resort’s full facilities. All room types come with free Wi-Fi. To confirm availability by room type, current rates, and any seasonal packages, contact the resort directly via biankini.co.il or through major OTA platforms.

Who This Property Suits Best

Biankini Village Resort suits couples and families who want a private, design-led stay rather than a large anonymous hotel. The Moroccan aesthetic, intimate scale (74 units across five acres), kosher dining, private beach, and range of facilities — pool, spa, playground, salt room, synagogue — mean you can keep busy or do absolutely nothing, depending on your mood. It is a particularly good fit for guests who want to combine Dead Sea floating with genuine restaurant cooking, and for families observing kashrut who need both a certified kitchen and child-friendly facilities on the same property.

Location and Surroundings

The resort sits in the Kalia area at the northern end of the Dead Sea — the closest point of the Dead Sea to Jerusalem, roughly 50 minutes by car via Route 1 east then Route 90 north. This northern shore is notably wilder and less developed than the hotel strip around Ein Bokek in the south, which means less congestion and a more intimate atmosphere. Nearby: Kalia Beach (kaliadeadsea.com), Qumran National Park where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, Ein Feshkha nature reserve, and the junction roads north toward Jericho and Jerusalem. The Jordanian mountains across the water complete the horizon in every direction.
