The perfect luxury getaway
Judy Elkus discovers hundreds of elegant private villas to rent in Israel through Hayokra.co.il
A luxury holiday used to mean staying in a fancy hotel…. along with hundreds of other guests. But today, you can easily rent an elegant private villa in Israel through Hayokra.co.il.
Guaranteed to ensure you enjoy every moment of your stay, each of the high-spec properties on the site has a pool and some even have spa-style facilities like a sauna and jacuzzi.
The Hayokra website lists hundreds of luxury properties around the country where you and your loved ones can get away from it all, whether for a night, a weekend, a fortnight or more. Simply book with the owner via the user-friendly website, paying no brokerage fees.
Particularly suitable for guests with religious requirements, most Hayokra villas offer a private pool, shabbat-friendly kitchen facilities and close proximity to local synagogues.
Here are just three samples of the type of property you’ll find on the site:
Grand Royal Villa, Moshav Netua, northern Israel
Located in Moshav Netua, with breath-taking views of the Galilean landscape, the Grand Royal Villa was built to the highest specifications. It has 8 bedrooms spread over 2 floors, each with a luxurious en-suite bathroom, separable double beds, LCD TV + satellite connection and a dressing room. Downstairs is a spacious living room that can host 25 people, a fully-equipped kitchen and an oversized dining table that seats 30. The well-kept, walled-off outdoor area features a 15-metre pool, spa jacuzzi, table tennis table, a professional BBQ corner and dining table to seat 30.
Pina B’Kochav Villa, Kochav Yair, central Israel
Located in Kochav Yair, just half an hour from Tel Aviv, the Pina B’Kochav villa has two bedrooms, a large living room and fully-equipped kitchen. Every detail of the villa has been meticulously thought out. Take the pool for example: walled off for privacy and chlorine free, it is heated and has a retractable cover for year-round swimming, not to mention a quality 4-speaker sound system and BBQ area.
Riviera Villa, Eilat, southern Israel
Eilat is full of attractions, but if you stay at the Riviera Villa you’ll have everything you need for a fun-packed, relaxing holiday. The spacious 1200m2 outdoor area has a 13-metre pool, a spa bath that fits up to 10 people, a BBQ area, sun beds and a table tennis table. There’s even a gym, equipped with weights, a treadmill and a wet sauna. With five double bedrooms, a large kitchen and dining area, and comfortable lounge the villa can host 14 guests. The local synagogue is a five-minute walk away, and arrangements can be made for a hot plate and hot water on shabbat.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
