The ultra-modern Setai Miami Beach hotel, located in Miami’s buzzing South Beach area, has become one of the most prestigious, acclaimed, and sought-after hotels in Florida.
In the wake of this overwhelming success, the Miami hotel’s owners, the Nakash brothers, invested in Israel with two new luxury hotels under the Setai brand. The Setai Sea of Galilee and The Setai Tel Aviv at the Kishle Building in Jaffa’s Clock Tower Square that was open in February 2018.
The Setai Sea of Galilee, situated on the Eastern shore of the historic “Kinneret” lake, is a pastoral spa hotel replete with 158 luxurious villas that overlook the sweeping verdant vistas of Northern Israel.
Mere steps from the historic lake, and nestled in the peaceful foothills of the Golan Heights, The Setai Sea of Galilee is the perfect perch for taking in Northern Israel’s many marvels.
Guests accustomed to the comfort and luxury of The Setai Miami will not be disappointed with this lakeside jewel. With breathtaking views and boasting spacious, serene Villas, The Setai Sea of Galilee has been designed to echo and enhance the tranquility of Northern Israel.

“The Setai Sea of Galilee is the first step in the Nakash brothers’ vision of bringing their prestigious hotel brand to Israel. It is important to remember that it is far from being just another hotel. After many years in which no new hotels were built in this region at all, the Nakash Group has invested in building a hotel in a key area that links the Sea of Galilee, the Galilee, the Jordan Valley, the Golan Heights, and Mt. Hermon,” said Avi Hormaro, CEO of the Nakash Group in Israel.
The Setai Sea of Galilee is a 5-star deluxe hotel that provides an exceptional hospitality and vacation experience among the very finest in Israel and around the world, together with unmatched, breathtaking views of the Golan Heights and the Sea of Galilee.
The hotel presents 158 spacious suites and rooms, including 136 suites where guests enjoy adjacent private pools or hot tubs, as well as 22 luxurious Garden Deluxe rooms. The suites are each some 55 square meters in size and can accommodate up to 4 people.
Villas at the Setai ‘Sea of Galilee’ feature a spacious bathtub for two, “rainfall shower,” private infinity pool or hot tub. These lavish villas also include a sizable, private balcony with a tanning space and comfortable sitting area. Guests are invited to relax in the balcony’s outdoor jacuzzi, suitable for four adults.

All rooms include smart large-screen TVs, a spacious bathroom, a Nespresso machine, and of course spectacular Sea of Galilee views or the Golan Heights. In addition, the hotel is home to one of Israel’s most lavish spa and health complexes. Spanning approximately 1,000 square meters, the spa includes 13 treatment rooms, each with an adjustable bed and en-suite shower. The spa also offers an indoor swimming pool, a Turkish hammam, and a well-equipped, state-of-the-art fitness center.
