Rental market in Eilat

In Eilat, asking rents (2025, indicative) typically go from 1,900–2,400 ₪/month for a one-bedroom to 3,700–5,800 ₪/month for a three-bedroom flat, and the local trend is rising. The figures come from public listings and sourced market reports; they are context for reading a contract — not a quote.

Eilat's rental market is tourism-driven and highly seasonal, with long-term apartment supply constrained by competing short-term vacation rentals. Prices are moderate compared to central Israel but rising (~6% YoY), and the city's free trade zone status (no VAT since 1985) makes it economically distinctive. Typical long-term tenants include hotel and tourism workers, olim (mainly Russian and French-speaking), and seasonal employees; key contract pitfalls involve subletting restrictions, unclear Arnona transfer clauses, and misclassification between residential and short-term rental contracts.

If you qualify for several discounts you get only one, the highest (Arnona Discount Regulations, reg. 17(a)).
