Vacation resorts in Saint Petersburg

These retreats in the Leningrad Region offer a change from city life, with time by the water and walks in nature. Silande suits guests who prefer a room in an accommodation building and a spa with a sauna and hammam. At the Kuivasar eco-estate, you can stay in a separate house among pine trees where the Svir River meets Lake Ladoga—and bring your pet along.

These houses and cottages have kitchens or kitchenettes, so you can cook on your own schedule rather than plan around café opening hours. Larger groups can choose Villingston Residence, with five bedrooms in each residence, or Park Lesok, with cottages accommodating different group sizes. Heilun’s round cabins suit couples and small families, while Vyritskie Tarkhany offers an outdoor pool in summer.

For a peaceful stay, choose Krona in Pesochny: it is set in a forested park area near two small lakes, a 10-minute walk from Dibuny railway station. Venta-Arena in Khirvosti is a good fit for guests who want to combine walks around the spacious grounds with horse riding at the equestrian club.

3 Gnoma is a convenient base for exploring St Petersburg: Nevsky Prospekt is a 15-minute walk away, while Sennaya Ploshchad metro station is 7 minutes away. Double and triple rooms, a coffee shop, Wi-Fi, plus washing and drying machines make it a practical choice for a short stay.
