Beachfront hotels in Saint Petersburg

33 Hotel in Kronstadt suits travellers looking to combine time by the sea with exploring the town: Kronstadt Beach is about a 14-minute walk away, with the Summer Garden and Naval Cathedral of St Nicholas also within walking distance. Rooms have a fridge and a private bathroom, and there’s a shared lounge for a break after sightseeing.

These three hotels offer a break by the Gulf of Finland. Repinskaya Riviera is 50 metres from an undeveloped village beach and has a kids’ club and playgrounds; X-Clinic, 100 metres from Chudny Beach, offers a medical spa. Garmoniya suits a quieter stay, with bicycles and sun loungers available to rent in the warmer months.

Country suits a beach holiday, with a first-line location and its own sandy beach. De La Rey offers chalets with kitchens and terraces, while Dom u Zaliva has cottages with gazebos and barbecue areas for families or groups. Lesnaya Riviera features both rooms and cottages, 300 metres from the beach.

For easier access to central St Petersburg, choose Sunpark on Middle Suzdal Lake. For quiet cottages among the trees, consider Lesnaya Rapsodiya or Park Shishkin; for a swim, Vokhotka has a year-round heated outdoor pool, while Villa Jarvi’s heated outdoor pool is open in summer.

Vyritskie Tarkhany is a good choice for summer: the Oredezh River beach is 2 km away, and the resort offers a seasonal outdoor pool and cottages with kitchens. EYVA is a more secluded option near the forest, with a sauna and private covered barbecue area at each cottage; pets are welcome for an extra fee.
