Fresh, renewed, and full of hope. The Aldea guesthouse of Nir Am Kibbutz, which closed its doors to the public on October 7 and hosted only soldiers for a year, is set to reopen with completely renewed interiors. A comprehensive renovation process that lasted many months brought the place back to life with a full makeover that included all 23 guest rooms and the public areas.

The name "Aldea," which means "village" in Spanish, the language of the kibbutz founders, has taken on a new meaning. From October 7 until March of this year, the guesthouse served exclusively as a refuge and resting place for soldiers, and only afterwards did the comprehensive renovation process begin.

The renovation was thorough and included: a complete restoration of the public areas – new paths were paved, lawns and ornamental plants were planted, and all infrastructures were replaced. The rooms also underwent a comprehensive upgrade, including roof replacement, water and electrical systems, flooring and tiles, sanitary fixtures, furniture, and complementary accessories.

The 23 renovated rooms are suitable for couples and families alike. Accommodation-only prices range from NIS 650 for a couple during weekdays to NIS 780 on weekends.
