Top 6 Airbnb Vacation Rentals In Ashkelon, Israel - Updated 2026

Ashkelon is one of Israel's top seaside destinations, boasting a beautiful sandy coastline that stretches across the horizon. It offers a relatively quieter and more laid-back atmosphere compared to big cities like Tel Aviv, but also has a vibrant culture scene and nightlife. That said, I think one of the most engaging aspects of Ashkelon is its long and incredible history. One of its oldest landmarks, the Canaanite City Gate, dates back to 1850 BCE. It was also a major stronghold that was fought over by the Fatimid Caliphate and the European Crusaders during the Middle Ages, with many of its ruins preserved today in Ashkelon National Park. Whether you're traveling to experience its majestic Mediterranean shores or immersing deep in its heritage and history, you'll need a place to stay. For that, come check out our list of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Ashkelon, Israel. **Travel tips if you're visiting Ashkelon in 2026:** - While most establishments accept credit and debit cards, make sure to keep some Israeli New Shekels on hand for smaller purchases. As of writing, the exchange rate is roughly 1 ILS = 0.32 USD. - Because of Ashkelon's Mediterranean climate, it's recommended to visit beaches during cooler times of the day, such as early mornings or late afternoons. - Friday and Saturday are Shabbat, so most establishments and public offices will be closed or operating at reduced hours. - Israel has a tipping culture and comes at around 10% - 15. - In case of heightened security incidents, follow protocol and personnel for directions to emergency exits and safety shelters.
