Vacation resorts in Irkutsk
For a nature break, choose a room by a bay, a cottage or a riverside glamping cabin. If you also want to explore Irkutsk, check the distance: this selection includes retreats close to the city and others as far as 380 km away.
Riverside Cabins with Mountain Views
Khan Glamping Goloustnoye is a quiet nature retreat on the Goloustnaya River, about an hour and a half’s drive from Irkutsk. The cabins have panoramic windows and private bathrooms, and guests can grill on their terraces. Lake Baikal is around 10 minutes away by car.
Riverside Cabins in the Taiga
Kazachka Iya offers a nature getaway on the banks of the Iya River in the village of Kazakova, near Tulun and 380 km from Irkutsk. Spend quiet days among the trees or go fishing, then unwind in the Russian banya after a day by the river. There is a café and parking on site.
What to consider when choosing
Consider Yolochka by a bay at kilometre 19 of the Baikal Highway, or Port Mikhalev on the Angara River, 30 km from Irkutsk. For a city walk, head to the historic centre, including the Lower Embankment and Karl Marx Street.
Yolochka offers rooms and cottages of different capacities, while Port Mikhalev has cottages with two bedrooms, an equipped kitchen and a children’s play corner. For a quiet getaway, consider Khan Glamping Goloustnoye: its cabins have private bathrooms and terraces with grills, but Lake Baikal is about 10 minutes away by car.
Yes, provided you plan both the outward and return journeys: ask your chosen property about transfers or taxi availability. Yolochka is one option to consider, at 19 km from the airport and 23 km from the railway station; you’ll need to confirm transfer availability separately.
