Jūrmala Multi-Day Stays: Spas and Seaside Plans

Short Stays Work Best

Jūrmala is built for a restful break of 2 or 3 nights. It works as a seaside and spa base, not as a hub for long touring, so extra days are best spent in Riga, about 30 minutes away by Vivi train.

Choosing a Plan

Plan 1: the three-day seaside loop

  1. Day one, central district. Spend the morning on Jomas iela and in the free Jūrmala Museum (Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00). Spend the afternoon in Dzintari Forest Park. Book a Small Hall concert at the Dzintari Concert Hall for the evening, since the hall runs concerts all year.
  2. Day two, the dunes and a soak. Go to Buļļuciems for the Ragakāpa dune walk and the free Open-Air Museum, closed on Mondays. Finish with a session at a hotel spa.
  3. Day three, Ķemeri. Wander the old resort park and the bog boardwalk, then take the train on to Riga. The water tower there has decks at 12 m and 42 m and opens from roughly late April to late October.

Plan 2: a pure spa weekend. Pick one hotel and let the spa set the pace.

  • Baltic Beach Hotel & SPA, Jūras iela 23/25, Majori. Sea-water pool and sauna rituals; the restaurant is Amber VIEW.
  • Hotel Jūrmala Spa, Jomas iela 47/49. Pools and saunas, with day tickets from EUR 30.
  • Kurshi Hotel & Spa, Ceriņu iela 22, Dubulti. Spa and the KURSHI Terase restaurant.
  • Villa Joma, Jomas iela 90. A hotel with a restaurant on site.

Plan 3: medical rehabilitation. The Jaunķemeri Rehabilitation Centre (jaunkemeri.lv ) runs all year and offers mud applications, mineral baths and inpatient care, about 300 m from the sea. Programmes last 7 to 14 days and are prescription-based treatment, so they are not a spa weekend. The sanatoria Belorusija and Jantarnij Bereg are shut under EU sanctions and do not take guests.

Practical Notes

  • Arrive by train and skip the city entry charge. Drivers pay EUR 5 per vehicle per day, all year, and the street machines accept cards only.
  • The sea is cold and shallow, so build in indoor options such as museums, spas and concerts.
  • Bog boardwalk planks are slippery in rain, and winter snow is not cleared.
  • Stay off the ice on the sea and the Lielupe.
