According to legend, magic waters from the Vitalis Spring welled up from the sand at the foot of the mountains where the desert meets the sea. On this site today stands the Herods Hotel and Spa Eilat. Surrounded by the same primeval magic of majestic mountains, endless sky, and the quiet beauty of the Red Sea, Herods Hotel and Spa Eilat blends the experience of nature with the sophistication of a grand resort.
