Arrive at Leonardo Plaza Dead Sea and you immediately feel you are stepping into your own private wellness retreat. This four-star property sits in Neve Zohar with easy access to the Dead Sea shoreline and strikes a genuine balance between comfort, relaxation, and accessibility. It delivers without the price tag of the ultra-luxury properties nearby, making it a smart choice whether you are here for a corporate retreat, a spa getaway, or quality time with family.
What makes Leonardo Plaza particularly practical is access to the entire Leonardo Hotels Dead Sea network. You get four-star amenities at your home property and can use the shuttle to reach Leonardo Club’s private beach, mini water park, and expanded spa, or Leonardo Inn’s Wolfson Medical Centre. The on-site spa’s heated Dead Sea mineral pool, filled with 34.2% salinity water and 21 dissolved minerals, is the centrepiece of the wellness offer. Conference facilities make this the go-to choice for business retreats seeking a distinctive off-site setting at the Dead Sea.
Accessible rooms
Leonardo Plaza offers four room categories. Standard rooms provide comfortable, no-frills accommodation with air conditioning, television, minibar, in-room safe, and free Wi-Fi. Superior rooms add upgraded touches and often better views. Family rooms comfortably fit two adults and two children; connecting configurations are available for larger groups. Suites are also on offer for guests wanting more space.
Higher-floor rooms deliver Dead Sea vistas. Lower floors overlook the pool and gardens, a calmer alternative if you prefer a more tranquil setting. Upgraded room categories include plush bathrobes. Bathrooms have either a bathtub or shower depending on category.
The main restaurant serves kosher-supervised buffet breakfast and dinner. Breakfast covers fresh cheeses, eggs, pastries, salads, and hot dishes. Dinner rotates between international and local Israeli menus. A lobby bar runs throughout the day with light meals and drinks. Guests can also arrange meals at Leonardo Club under all-inclusive framework options, adding dining variety without leaving the hotel network.
The spa’s centrepiece is a heated Dead Sea mineral pool carrying the same mineral composition as the sea, with 34.2% salinity and 21 dissolved minerals. The recommended soak time is 15 to 20 minutes per session. A sauna and professional treatment rooms cover massage, facials, and body care. If you want a broader array of wellness options, the complimentary shuttle takes you to Leonardo Club, which houses a more extensive spa programme.
The seasonal outdoor pool offers sun loungers, parasols, and a poolside bar. Direct beach access connects you to the Ein Bokek public shoreline, where the hotel provides complimentary sunbeds and umbrellas. The Leonardo Club shuttle also opens access to a private beach and mini water park, particularly useful for families with children.
The Dead Sea environment is the defining attraction: at 439 metres below sea level, even standing on the shore feels different. The hotel’s beach access and the shuttle to Leonardo Club’s private beach and mini water park mean you have multiple water-based options. For excursions, Neve Zohar places you within a short drive of Masada National Park to the south and Ein Gedi Nature Reserve to the north. Business guests will find the conference rooms and the distinctive Dead Sea setting an effective combination for off-site meetings and corporate retreats.
Leonardo Plaza is the natural choice for business travellers needing conference facilities paired with a memorable location. Families benefit from the mid-tier Leonardo Hotels option with shuttle access to Leonardo Club’s broader facilities. Leisure travellers who want a four-star property with genuine Dead Sea mineral access and shuttle connectivity to a wider resort network will find real value here.
Guests prioritising all-inclusive value should book Leonardo Club directly. Those seeking the lowest rate in the Leonardo Hotels group should compare with Leonardo Inn. Couples wanting a more boutique or intimate atmosphere may prefer Herods Dead Sea in Neve Zohar.
