This apartment is the epitome of refinement on the Mediterranean coast, just a five-minute walk from the golden sands and shallow waters of Aviv Beach. Located so centrally, you can immerse yourself in the city’s vibrant and historied culture within moments of leaving your sleek base. The building itself was designed by one of Israel’s leading architects and has been furnished by famed interior designer, Ariella Azaria, so you can expect nothing less than luxury. You’ll find a light-filled contemporary interior and a sociable open-plan living space cloaked in high-end finishes and adorned with gold accents. We especially love how the natural light and sea views become part of this space – unwind on the velour sofa after a busy day sampling the local cuisine in your neighbourhood’s vibrant eateries or put the slick modern kitchen into action by trying out some Israeli flavours.
