Alaya: Where Nature Meets Wellness
In a serene corner of Israel, between the Mediterranean waves of Poleg Beach and the prestigious Wingate Institute, lies Alaya - a revolutionary concept in hospitality. Unlike traditional hotels, this intimate village retreat represents Israel's first experiential hospitality destination, where every aspect is designed to facilitate genuine connections - with yourself, others, and the natural world around you. Through its enchanting paths and peaceful corners, Alaya creates an environment where transformation happens naturally, and personal growth feels effortless.
The weekend experience at Alaya, spanning from Thursday afternoon to Saturday, offers a carefully curated journey of discovery and renewal. The program features an array of wellness workshops, meaningful encounters, and opportunities for personal development. Yet, what makes Alaya truly special is its flexibility - while the schedule is rich with activities and workshops, guests are free to create their own perfect balance between structured experiences and peaceful relaxation. Whether you're drawn to group activities or prefer solitary contemplation, Alaya provides the perfect setting for both.
At the heart of Alaya's philosophy is a commitment to holistic well-being, beautifully expressed through its plant-based culinary experience. The vegetarian and vegan menu is thoughtfully crafted to nourish both body and spirit, offering creative dishes that celebrate natural ingredients in their most vibrant forms. Communal dining spaces foster connection and conversation, while special events like the Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat, where guests gather in white attire, create moments of shared joy and community. Every element at Alaya, from its strategic location to its mindful programming, works together to create a sanctuary where guests can truly unwind, recharge, and rediscover themselves.
