Description Blonde Highlights: Nahariyya

Brightened by natural light, adorned by deluxe furniture and expertly designed to accommodate large groups, this radiant home is perfect for escapes on the Israeli coast.

We loved the open-plan living space, defined by the comfy sofas and elevated dining table. That dining table, lined by stools, gives hotel or bar vibes that enhance the taste of your falafel wrap or cup of coffee.

The whole space makes you full of energy, and yet it's not even the best part of the home – that title belongs to the idyllic rooftop terrace.

Snuggling into the soft cushions or the swinging chair and admiring the stunning view of the coastline, you'll have one of those moments where you stop and take in the moment. Bring a bottle of wine or arak up in the evenings and watch the sunset beyond the blue horizon.

You can also watch sunset from the beach itself, which is just a short drive from the home. Alternatively, head inland to discover the oasis of natural beauty in the region, including the stunning Achziv National Park and the striking Rosh Ha’nikra.

Home truths:
* The fourth bedroom is a sofa bed which is best suited to young adults
* Your host can provide a free cot for little ones
* The host asks to be respectful of noise in the evenings
