In Makhachkala, you can combine time by the Caspian Sea with walks around the city. Choose a waterfront hotel, a resort with a private beach or an apartment with a kitchen.
Galeon suits those who want to stay on the Caspian shore, with the city waterfront, cafés and restaurants within walking distance. Komintern is an option for combining beach time with plans in central Makhachkala: the City Beach is 1 km away, and the railway station is 300 m away.
These hotels put the sea close by, with different ways to enjoy your stay. At beachfront Gaziazra, a buffet breakfast is included, while NOK Zhuravli combines beach time with an indoor spa featuring pools and separate women’s and men’s areas. Pegas is a practical choice if you’re driving: parking is free, and the shore is 150 metres away.

Victoria in Manaskent offers a beach bungalow, Jami has a private beach with loungers and parasols, and Meduza has just 16 rooms with individual entrances and an enclosed courtyard.
