All I can say is wow. This might literally be the best value for your dollar, euro or shekel in Israel! Perched on a small hill steps away from the edge of the majestic open beauty of the Mitzpe Ramon crater, Desert Shade affords you the requisite comfort of a clean, comfortable, and secure hut-like rooms with gorgeous communal spaces for dining and relaxing. There are several extremely clean, well-maintained restroom and shower areas around the grounds, and if you're lucky, you'll get to pet Michael, the regal 17 year old white lab of Ziv & Maya, the husband and wife team who built Desert Shade 30 years ago. Ziv and Maya are always around, checking-guests in, answering questions and providing insight and advice concerning all the natural wonders that the Mitzpe Ramon region has to offer. If you are coming to Israel's south for pampering, there's another resort at 5x the cost; but if you want to be out and about, discovering the abundance of grace & natural beauty of this area, then Desert Shade is truly the perfect, comfortable and affordable "basecamp" for your desert adventure.

Exactly what we were looking for: Tranquil, beautiful, simple. There are a small number of huts with really good distance between them. We were the only guests apart from another couple but I get a sense that this place is always quiet and peaceful. The host is very organised with check-in, breakfast and explaining how the place works. Hot showers throughout! A great little pool and very beautiful gardens and animals. Bring snacks and drinks (water is provided!) if you need lunch or dinner as this is only provided on some days.
