Milos Dead Sea by Herbert Samuel is the design-led choice among Ein Bokek’s resort hotels: 162 rooms and suites in Greek whites and sea blues, a private beach on the Dead Sea steps from the hotel entrance, and a spa built around a hammam and a mineral water pool. The hotel is operated by the Israeli Herbert Samuel group, which markets the property on its Greek-inspired design rather than on resort scale.
Ein Bokek, the hotel district on the Dead Sea’s southwestern shore, is dominated by large resort towers with high-volume dining halls. Milos takes the opposite approach, pairing a modest room count with Cycladic-style architecture.
Milos Dead Sea by Herbert Samuel operates 162 rooms and suites on the Ein Bokek strip, a compact count for a district built around large resort towers, and Herbert Samuel’s official site markets the property on Greek-inspired design in bright white and sea blue rather than on sheer scale.
Herbert Samuel frames the concept as a Greek-style escape at the lowest place on Earth, set in gardens between desert and water. That places Milos closest in spirit to Kayma by Isrotel Exclusive, Ein Bokek’s other intimate premium option, and furthest from convention-scale properties such as Herods Dead Sea.
Herbert Samuel’s official listings show nine room categories at Milos, all in white and blue. Entry categories are Superior rooms (patio or pool view) and Deluxe rooms (ground floor, with or without pool view); listed amenities include a king bed, Nespresso machine, rainfall shower, bathrobes, and a safe.
The upper categories are where Milos differentiates itself. Select premium rooms and suites come with a private pool attached or adjacent to the room rather than a shared terrace feature:
An accessible Superior room is also listed. Categories and inclusions can change, so confirm details on the hotel’s site when booking.
Milos runs a main outdoor pool set in gardens, plus a Dead Sea mineral water pool inside the spa. The Milos Spa also lists a traditional hammam and treatments based on Dead Sea mud and minerals; the standard regional guidance is 15 to 20 minutes per mineral soak.
Guests reach the sea from the hotel’s own private beach, steps from the entrance, where sunbeds and umbrellas are complimentary. First-time floaters should review how to float in the Dead Sea, and the public Ein Bokek beach sits alongside it for a livelier scene.
The Dead Sea’s surface is the lowest natural land or water surface on Earth, at approximately 440 metres below sea level, which means guests stepping off the private beach at Milos Dead Sea are floating at the planet’s lowest accessible shoreline. The sea itself carries roughly 34.2 percent salinity.

Milos is built for couples and design-minded travelers: guests who notice whitewashed corridors, want a quieter pool, and may pay extra for a room or suite with its own pool. Our roundup of Dead Sea hotels for couples in Israel ranks it among the strongest picks on the strip.
The family question has caused confusion; here is what the official source now shows.
Herbert Samuel’s official room listings for Milos Dead Sea show the entry categories accommodating two adults plus one child up to age 12, while the Premium Plus with Pool category sleeps a couple plus two children up to age 12, or three adults. That settles a common question: the hotel is not adults only, although it offers no kids’ club and markets itself first to couples while welcoming families.
Families are accepted, but the hotel does not compete on children’s facilities; parents who want kids’ clubs and family programming will do better with our picks among the best Dead Sea hotels for families. For older teens or extra beds, check directly with the hotel, since listed occupancies are capped and category-specific.

Yes. Milos provides guests with private beach access on the Dead Sea, steps from the hotel entrance on Ein Bokek’s central strip, with complimentary sunbeds and umbrellas.

The public Ein Bokek promenade and beaches are also within easy walking distance for guests who want more activity.
Herbert Samuel lists three Premium Suite categories with a pool adjacent to the room: one facing the hotel pool and the Judean Desert, one with a balcony overlooking the Dead Sea, and one with a private garden containing a heated pool and a sea view. A fourth category, Premium Plus with Pool, measures approximately 50 square meters and sleeps up to three adults or a couple with two children. The pools are attached or adjacent to the rooms at ground level. These categories sell out early in peak season, so book ahead.
