Aley, Bhamdoun & Sofar

Lebanon's classic summer towns, with villas and pools in the cool hills just above Beirut.

Aley, Bhamdoun and Sofar line the old Beirut to Damascus road in the hills above the capital, between 17 and 30 km from Beirut.

For more than a century these towns have been where families spend the summer, for the cooler air and the views over Beirut and the coast. Sofar still has its grand old hotel from the early 1900s, and Aley's town centre has shops, cafés and restaurants that stay busy on summer nights.

Many large villas here have gardens and private pools, which makes the area a good fit for family gatherings and longer summer stays.

A villa in Aley, Bhamdoun or Sofar suits families and groups who want a pool and cool evenings close to Beirut. Best time to go: May to October.
