Hotels with spa in Novorossiysk

These Novorossiysk hotels combine a seaside stay with time at a spa or banya. Akvareli has a spa area available by appointment, with an indoor pool, hot tub, hammam and sauna. Svata Morskoy, 200 metres from Aleksino Beach, suits fans of a wood-fired Russian banya; apartments with kitchens and washing machines also make it a practical choice for a self-catering stay.

All three places offer a sauna, but their locations and styles differ. Traktir is handy for train arrivals, with the station 800 metres away; KamInn is a guest house with a bathhouse complex in Tsemdolina, a 15-minute drive from the coast. Alliance in Vladimirovka suits those travelling by car, with private parking and a 24-hour reception.

In Abrau-Durso and Durso, choose a bathhouse or spa break: Vintage offers steam sessions with a bath attendant, while Durso-Tower has a hammam, salt steam room and massages. Surrounded by woodland, Krugloye Ozero has a bathhouse complex and an outdoor pool open in summer. At Pansionat Zvezdny, pair a sauna visit with a swim in a heated indoor mineral-water pool with 25-metre lanes.

Panorama in Shirokaya Balka combines a stay 50 metres from the sea with a spa offering a hammam, saunas and a hot tub. At Myskhako, the All Inclusive rate covers three meals a day and use of the sauna with a pool by advance reservation. Sanremo in Kabardinka has a hammam and a heated outdoor pool, with the sea and promenade 120 metres away.

At Chateau Pinot, you can combine a vineyard stay with visits to the sauna and hammam. Vinnye Terrasy suits a quiet getaway for two: guests must be 18 or over, there is a sauna, and three cabins have their own heated soaking tubs. For a riverside escape, Lesnaya Zaimka on the Aderba River near Gelendzhik offers wood-fired banyas.
