Vacation apartments in Yalta

From Foros in the west to Partenit in the east, dozens of resort areas line Greater Yalta — each with its own character. First-time visitors to the Southern Coast of Crimea usually pick a village to stay in first and only then choose a hotel inside it. The ride from Yalta's promenade to a sanatorium on Alupkinskoye Highway, for instance, takes just half an hour by bus, but the holiday experience in these two spots will be completely different.

Central Yalta: The Promenade and Primorsky Park

Come here for an evening walk along Lenin Embankment, dinner at the restaurants, and the easy transport links — minibuses run from here in every direction along the coast. Accommodation sits within walking distance of the sea — typically three-star hotels or guesthouses without a sign on the door.

Dom Bristol stands on Roosevelt Street, 300 meters from Lenin Square. Room rates start from 9,600 ₽.

An even quieter spot is Palas on Chekhov Street. The hotel has an inner courtyard and sits in a calm neighborhood. Prices start from 8,910 ₽ per night.

Koreiz, Gaspra, and Alupka: Sanatoriums and Palaces

This part of the Southern Coast of Crimea is home to its signature sights: the Yusupov Palace in Koreiz, Swallow's Nest in Gaspra, and the Vorontsov Palace with its park in Alupka. A chain of year-round sanatoriums runs along Alupkinskoye Highway — many have their own parks and climate-therapy programs.

Sanatoriy Dyulber welcomes guests with an old park and a view of the sea. Stays start from 14,620 ₽ per night.

Villa Oneyro sits on the western edge of Alupka. The hotel is within walking distance of Vorontsov Park; prices start from 5,200 ₽ per night.

You'll find every option that includes medical programs in the Yalta sanatoriums collection.

Gurzuf and Partenit: Quieter and Closer to Ayu-Dag

East of central Yalta you'll find some interesting places: Massandra with its winery, Gurzuf — tucked between Mount Ayu-Dag and the vineyards — and further along, Partenit Bay. People come here for a more relaxed beach holiday and stays in small boutique hotels.

Muskatel Boutique Hotel is on Stroiteley Street in old Gurzuf. It's a small boutique hotel; prices start from 11,049 ₽.

Two very different kinds of holiday share the same coastline. On one side are the resort complexes with their own parks and beaches, where guests can spend an entire vacation without leaving the grounds. On the other are guesthouses and small hotels in central Yalta, where a room can cost about as much as the taxi from Simferopol.

Mriya in Opolznevoye is the most expensive and the largest resort on the Southern Coast of Crimea. It has its own gardens and a water park, and room rates start from 58,100 ₽.

Palmira Palace Resort & SPA in Kurpaty is a five-star complex with a three-level spa, a medical center, and a private beach. Rates start from 68,400 ₽. The full list of hotels in this category is easy to browse in the 5 stars collection.

If you're coming for the sea, the promenade, and the excursions, you often don't need resort infrastructure. In that case, it makes more sense to stay in the city center. The Zaporozhye guesthouse on Lomonosov Street, for example, rents rooms from 1,500 ₽ per night — the lowest price in the city.
