Amirim Holiday Village
Founded in 1958 by a group of self-described “nature freaks,” Amirim is a vegetarian moshav (cooperative village) in a peaceful forested area with magnificent vistas. Most of the moshav families rent out comfy guest rooms. Each unit is different in layout, but similar in their woodsy décor (the look is log cabin-esque, with knotty walls, comfy furnishings, and in some cases, such niceties as Jacuzzi tubs and private terraces). On site are a number of exclusively meat-free restaurants (and they’re serious about the vegetarianism here; you can be expelled from your cabin if you use your kitchen or outdoor grill to cook meat). For vegans and vegetarians this is the unusual spot where they can eat everything on every menu, although higher quality plant-based dishes can be found in Israel’s big cities.
