Wonderful

Stone, gardens, and Dead Sea calm

The resort pairs grand Babylonian-style architecture with a serene, pared-back interior where natural stone, contemporary details, and broad glass views keep the focus on the Dead Sea. Even arrival feels considered, with a cold hibiscus juice at check-in. Between a Babylonian-inspired cocktail bar and a whiskey-and-cigar lounge, evenings can stay as polished as the setting.
