Vacation resorts in Kazan

Utrau offers bungalows and cottages with private terraces on the banks of the Volga, while Regina in Petrovsky has conventional hotel rooms by a forest lake. At Yurt Resort, you can stay in a yurt or a modular cabin with a kitchen; Tatar-style breakfasts are included. Alcohol and pork dishes are prohibited at Yurt Resort, and a dress code applies outside the pool area.

All three countryside retreats offer houses with kitchens, so you can cook on your own schedule. At 4 Sezona, the Volga is a 10-minute walk away, while Les i Reka Glamping offers one-bedroom houses for up to four guests or two-bedroom houses for up to six. At Eco Usadba Tishina, the secluded barn-style houses sleep four and each have a private sauna and a soaking tub by the pond.

These glamping sites offer a waterside break with familiar comforts. Glamping Vid on the Volga has kitchenettes and private terraces, while Sviyaga Glamp on the Sviyaga offers domes and A-frame cabins, plus a pool in summer. Lebedino ECO on the Kama suits those happy to travel farther: it is about an hour and a half from Kazan, and each cabin has its own gazebo with a barbecue area.

Both retreats offer cabins with kitchen facilities for a getaway as a couple or family. Urman Camp sits in a birch grove an hour’s drive from Kazan, with heated cabins, summer safari tents and pets welcome. Utro is a good choice for fishing and woodland walks, with a canteen and shop nearby at the Berezhok holiday park.
