This is a question we often hear from families considering a move to Atlit – and rightly so. When relocating to a community-oriented town, families want to know that life doesn't end when school does – that there are activities and opportunities for kids, teens, parents, and even grandparents.

So here's the simple answer: In Atlit, you don’t just live – you truly thrive. Nestled between the sea and the Carmel mountains, Atlit is home to a vibrant, family-friendly community with after-school activities for all ages, cultural events throughout the year, both in the town and across the Hof-HaCarmel region, open sports facilities, daily shuttles to regional centers – and, above all, a strong sense of belonging you’ll only understand once you feel it.

  • Regional Sports Programs: With support from the local council, Atlit and neighboring communities run youth sports teams and recreational classes in soccer, basketball, gymnastics, judo, capoeira and more.

  • Free Shuttles to Merav Center: Every weekday afternoon, free shuttles run from central Atlit to Merav Regional Culture & Recreation Center, which offers classes for all ages, live performances, an active library, open play areas, creative arts, fitness, and more.

  • Golden Age Club:Atlit invests deeply in senior wellbeing with a warm, active club offering weekly classes, lectures, social events, outings, and workshops. It’s a true community within a community.
