In Haifa and the Carmel we manage a range of apartments with a protected space. Horev Terrace is a penthouse with an in-unit safe room, and our other Haifa apartments have a shelter or protected space 5 to 90 seconds away — all available for holidays and mid-term temporary housing.
As of June 2026, Haifa's defense time was extended to about 90 seconds. In all our apartments in the city the protected space is within reach of that time, so you can stay with peace of mind — for a holiday or an extended stay.

Looking for a safe-room apartment (mamad) for rent in Haifa? A mamad — Hebrew for merkhav mugan, a residential protected space — is a reinforced room inside the apartment that gives you immediate access to a safe space. Some guests search instead for an "apartment with a bomb shelter" or a "protected space"; they all describe the same thing. Every apartment we manage has an in-unit safe room or an adjacent protected space, and you can rent it for a range of stay lengths.
The apartments also serve as alternative housing and a temporary wartime apartment in Haifa and nearby — a fast solution for anyone who needs a home with a protected space. Book via short-term rental or monthly & mid-term rental, and see the full inventory in our complete safe-room apartments guide.
Times to reach the protected space are approximate, measured from the apartment door; defense times are set and updated by the Israeli Home Front Command based on a town's distance from the border. Verify the exact time for your town on the Home Front Command portal. We are happy to confirm the exact protected-space details for each apartment before booking.
