Vert Dead Sea Hotel

About this place

Vert Dead Sea by AFI Hotels — formerly the Crowne Plaza Dead Sea — is a 304-room five-star property sitting in Ein Bokek’s northern section at 439 metres below sea level. Direct private beach access is one of the hotel’s strongest cards: only the outdoor pool and a small garden separate the building from the shore, making this one of the shortest hotel-to-beach distances in the area.

What makes Vert stand out is its commitment to wellness. Over 60 spa treatments, a renovated mineral complex (May–November 2025 renovation, now fully operational), two sulfur pools, a Turkish hammam, and complimentary transfers to the nearby Wolfson Medical Center for clinical dermatological procedures. The hotel also runs an adults-only Club Floor (18+) with private business lounge — creating a quiet enclave within a property that otherwise fully welcomes families.

Ein Bokek sits on the western shore of the Dead Sea, and Vert has some of the best beach access in the area. Step outside and you're literally minutes from the water, no long walks or shuttle rides needed. The hotel sits right near the trailhead for Nahal Ein Bokek (Bokek Springs), one of the most accessible hikes in the region, featuring natural springs and desert scenery. Ein Gedi Reserve, with its famous waterfalls and wildlife, is just a short drive away if you're willing to venture out.

Rooms and Suites

Vert offers 304 rooms across several categories: standard rooms, deluxe rooms, Club Floor rooms (adults 18+ only), and suites. All rooms provide views of the Dead Sea, the Moab Mountains, or the desert — this is not a hotel where you’re stuck in an interior corridor. Every room includes air conditioning, TV, minibar, safe, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Club rooms grant access to the business lounge — an exclusive, quiet space with a dairy buffet and drinks bar restricted to guests aged 18 and older. Family rooms and connecting room configurations are available for groups. Standard and deluxe categories fully welcome families.

Spa, Pool and Beach

The spa is one of the largest among Dead Sea hotels, offering more than 60 treatment options. The heated indoor pool is filled with actual Dead Sea water at 34.2% salinity and 35+ minerals. Beyond the main pool: two sulfur pools, a jacuzzi, sauna, and Turkish hammam. The spa complex underwent a comprehensive renovation from May through November 2025, with upgraded facilities now operational.

For clinical dermatological procedures, the Wolfson Medical Center is approximately 650 metres away with complimentary round-trip hotel transfer. The spa philosophy is straightforward: use what the Dead Sea naturally provides.

The private beach is directly accessible from the hotel with only the outdoor pool and a small garden between the building and the shoreline — one of the shortest hotel-to-beach distances in Ein Bokek. Complimentary sunbeds, umbrellas, and towels are provided.

Dining

The Rosemary restaurant serves fine cuisine with panoramic Dead Sea views throughout the day, with both buffet and a la carte options. Breakfast is an extensive buffet; dinner rotates through international themes.

Lot’s Wife Bar in the lobby offers dairy menu items and beverages in a relaxed setting. Club Floor and suite guests have additional access to the business lounge with its dairy buffet and drinks bar.

Activities and Nature

The Dead Sea is your primary activity — float in some of the world’s most mineral-rich water from the hotel’s private beach. The spa adds 60+ professional treatments to the mineral immersion.

Vert sits near the trailhead for Nahal Ein Bokek (Bokek Springs), one of the most accessible hikes in the Dead Sea area, featuring natural springs and desert scenery. Ein Gedi Nature Reserve, with its waterfalls, wildlife, and archaeological sites, is a short drive away. The outdoor pool operates seasonally. Conference and banquet facilities accommodate up to 600 participants.

The hotel’s name — Vert, from the French for green — reflects a commitment to environmental sustainability: paperless check-in, digital guest information, recycling programmes, biodegradable materials, and solar energy.

Who This Property Suits Best

Vert Dead Sea excels for spa enthusiasts coming specifically for wellness treatments — the 60+ treatment menu and renovated mineral complex are genuine differentiators. Couples seeking the adults-only Club Floor get quiet exclusivity within a family-friendly hotel. Families benefit from the Freckles kids’ club, direct beach access, and spacious room configurations. Conference organisers will find one of the few Dead Sea venues capable of accommodating up to 600 participants.

Guests seeking all-inclusive dining should choose Leonardo Club. Those wanting boutique intimacy at smaller scale should look at Kayma or Milos.
