Ganei HaNadiv (Ramat HaNadiv) is the name of the gardens that in my opinion, are the most beautiful gardens in Israel. Amazing, well-kept, and most spectacular gardens. The gardens are a memorial site to Baron Edmund de Rothschild and his wife, and in the center of the gardens is the tomb where their bones, which were brought to Israel in 1954, were buried. The tomb cave was hewn in the highest rocky area in the complex and around it are located stylish gardens on various topics such as: the Rose Garden, the Palm Garden, the Waterfall Garden, the Engagement garden and the most special of them all, is the Scent Garden, intended mainly for the blinds. The gardens have an abundance of stunning vegetation, rest areas and picnic areas. Suitable for a trip with children. Spectacular views on one hand mountains in the east and on the west views to the sea. Highly recommended for spending days and evenings. NOT 2 B MISSED.

We visited with friends, 2 couples, was magnificent! One hour of piece & quite. Barak gave us a detailed explanation about his & his wife dream which came true. He answered all the questions that we always wanted to ask about wine and we were embarrassed. The wine testing was soooo good. Highly recommend.

The nature reserve is a beautiful and picturesque beach, a coastal strip with more bays and inlets than any other in Israel. Wild, primeval scenery and unique natural values are intertwined here, and walking trails and campgrounds have been set up for visitors. Alongside this nature reserve are the Dor Habonim marine nature reserve, and Tel Dor National Park.
