4-star hotels in Derbent

For a Derbent trip with time by the sea, consider Derbent Boutique Hotel: the beach is less than a kilometre away, and rooms are individually decorated. A 24-hour reception is handy for late arrivals, and transfers from the airport can be arranged. A cash deposit of RUB 5,000 is required.

Park Avenue is in the centre opposite Revolutionary Glory Park, while Old Town Derbent occupies a restored historic building 300 metres from the centre. Flagman includes breakfast in the room rate and is 700 metres from the sea. Buta is a practical option if you’re travelling by car, with parking on site.

Gold Niyara offers sea-view rooms on the waterfront, while Villa is an intimate five-room hotel with its own sandy beach and sun loungers in season. Metropol is 60 metres from the beach and serves a continental or à la carte breakfast.

All three hotels are on the seafront, each offering a different way to enjoy the Caspian. Golden Beach has a water park open in the warmer months, while Villa Victoria offers guest houses with private entrances and barbecue areas. Ramina Derbent Resort suits those who want to mix beach time with on-site entertainment, with organised activities for children and adults.

These four-star hotels offer a choice between a Caspian seaside stay and exploring central Derbent on foot. Derbent Premium and Sanitas are both on the seafront, with spa and indoor pool access included in the stay; Sanitas also offers cottages for more privacy. Derbent Plaza suits those who want parks, cafés and the musical fountain with its light show close by.
