Carmey Avdat Desert Wine Resort is an adults-only wine retreat set deep in the Negev Highlands, where vineyards unexpectedly emerge from the desert landscape. Often described as “Tuscany in the desert,” the estate combines a boutique winery, a coffee house, and thoughtfully designed guest cabins into a serene and immersive farm-stay experience.

Guests stay in one of 14 unique cabins, all created for privacy, tranquility, and connection with nature. Some are secluded and feature private saunas, Jacuzzis, and desert bathing tubs with sweeping vineyard and desert views, while others are located in the Artists’ Village near the winery and coffee house, inspired by the wooden barrels used in winemaking. There are no televisions—just silence, open skies, and the quiet rhythm of the desert.

The resort offers a range of relaxation-focused amenities, including spa facilities, a sauna, hot tubs, a seasonal outdoor pool, and sun terraces. Breakfast highlights local and international flavors, while the on-site coffee house provides a welcoming space to unwind. Hiking, walking tours, and winery visits allow guests to explore the surrounding Negev landscape and its emerging wine culture.

Carmey Avdat is home to one of the pioneering vineyards of the Negev, cultivating varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Viognier. The boutique winery, founded in 2004, follows a philosophy of minimal intervention, producing limited quantities of expressive wines. A modern wine cellar—featuring archaeological amphorae from ancient Avdat—completes the experience.

Quiet, atmospheric, and deeply rooted in its environment, Carmey Avdat Desert Wine Resort is a rare destination where wine, desert, and stillness come together in a truly memorable escape.
