Mall Hof Village in Tel Aviv is home to one of the CityWave brand's flagship installations—an artificial wave about 10 meters wide and up to 1.6 meters high, built right into a shopping mall just a few minutes' drive from the actual Mediterranean beach. When it opened in 2018 it was billed as the largest permanent CityWave in the world, drawing surfers who wanted reliable reps without waiting on real swell. It's a wave-pool experience through and through—bookable sessions, rental gear, mall parking—not a backcountry mission. Good for skill-building or killing time between the beach and dinner, less so for anyone chasing an authentic river feel.
