Magdala Hotel: Where History, Nature and Spirituality Meet
A New Culinary Destination Coming to Magdala Magdala is expanding its offering with a new restaurant. It is an investment of approximately NIS 25 million and one of the most significant developments at the complex since its establishment. Scheduled to open in 2027, the two-story restaurant will seat approximately 700 guests and become the hotel's main dining venue. It will significantly expand Magdala's capacity to host large groups, pilgrims, conferences and special events. The restaurant is set within the Magdala complex, beside the archaeological park and Duc in Altum, and overlooks the Sea of Galilee. Architect Verónica de Dios Puertas designed the building to complement Magdala's character, bringing hospitality, cuisine, heritage and spirituality together in one destination.
On the shores of the Sea of Galilee, Magdala Hotel & Visitor Center stands beside the excavated remains of ancient Magdala, a thriving Jewish town in the 1st century AD. The complex brings together history, heritage, nature and spirituality, set against sweeping views of the lake and Mount Arbel. From the moment guests arrive, the architecture and design blend contemporary elegance with ancient heritage. The result is modern hospitality rooted in the history of the region, for visitors from Israel and around the world. Guests can explore the archaeological park of ancient Magdala, believed to be the hometown of Mary Magdalene. They can also visit Duc in Altum, the spiritual center at the heart of the Magdala complex, on the water's edge.
