Luxury Kibbutz Life in the Israeli Desert
Experience communal kibbutz life, the luxury way, in the heart of the Negev Desert.
In the heat of the Israeli desert, this kibbutz appears like a mirage, promising luxury, wellness, and sustainability.
Opening in the summer of 2021, the Six Senses Shaharut is nestled into a cliff in the small community of Shaharut and bordering Timna Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with incredible panoramic views of the desert. The Kibbutz offers local, farm-grown food that's paired with fire-pit cooking, along with camel stables and an outdoor cinema for extra entertainment.
Six Senses is all about connections – with yourself, with nature and with your fellow travelers.
To reconnect with yourself, look no further than a mindful stroll in the fresh morning air. Wander into the desert and enjoy the complete silence of the surrounding dunes.
To connect with like-minded people, Kibbutzing together is where it's at. Enjoy an authentic Bedouin breakfast and a farm-to-table lunch together, before swapping desert stories and then gliding into the night with music and pre-dinner cocktails.
For nature lovers, it's impossible to resist the chance to concoct potions from local herbs, spices, and oils. Make sure you sample the plant-based lunch, made with local ingredients from nearby farms, and end the day stargazing at the night sky and dreaming of the distant cosmos.
Interested in combining this trip with time in Petra or Wadi Rum in Jordan, witnessing the colorful reefs of the Red Sea, or visiting the cultural heart of Israel? Reach out to our travel curators and they'll make it happen.
