The Marom Golan kibbutz has initiated the construction of a luxury tourism complex located adjacent to the existing kibbutz. The project is currently in the building permit process. Shafi Mor, who manages the kibbutz’s tourism projects and is leading the current initiative, explains, "We identified a plot located in the Alonim Forest adjacent to the kibbutz. This 58-dunam area previously housed chicken coops with potential for zoning changes to develop the tourism sector."
Mor further explains, "We held a competition with the participation of three architectural firms. The Rozen-Linenberg architectural firm won the competition due to their concept, appearance, and inspiration drawn from the Golan Heights and the site's archaeological history."
According to Mor, "The project is intended for international tourists and local visitors. It is a luxury project with standards previously unseen in the country, and certainly in the Golan Heights. Despite the conflict, we continue with the process, believe in tourism in the north, and are confident that the project will attract and serve many tourists for decades to come—there is nothing like the magic of the Golan Heights."
Architect Ron Rozen of "Rozen Linenberg Architects" explains, "The project will be situated on a 28-dunam area and will include a luxury hotel with high-end amenities such as conference rooms, restaurants, a spa, a gym, 90 suites spread across three floors, some with private pools, and an additional area of 10 suites detached from the main building, with a restaurant and an amphitheater."
Rozen adds, "The inspiration for the hotel's design was taken from Rujum El-Hiri, a prehistoric cult site near the hotel whose secrets remain undiscovered. We estimate that the permit will be granted in early 2025, followed immediately by construction. I believe the complex will be completed and take shape about two years later."
