Imeretinsky Resort is a modern and rapidly developing tourist complex located in the picturesque Imeretinskaya Valley, just 8 kilometers from Adler. The resort is perfectly situated between two well-known rivers — Mzymta and Psou, providing stunning views and a favorable climate for relaxation. One of the resort's main neighbors is the Olympic Park, home to the most important sports venues from the 2014 Winter Olympics.
With its own promenade, equipped beach, and developed infrastructure, Imeretinsky Resort is an attractive destination for tourists year-round. The complex includes large hotel resorts, as well as individual hotels offering high-class service and comfort for guests of all levels.
The resort offers everything needed for a comfortable stay, including running and biking paths, a spa center, fitness room, tennis school, 19 swimming pools, and a medical clinic. Imeretinsky Town operates year-round, and during the winter months, you can stay here while visiting the ski slopes of Krasnaya Polyana.
How to Get There
You can reach the resort directly by train. The final station is "Imeretinsky Resort." The journey from Moscow takes at least 1 day and 9 hours. From Saint Petersburg, the journey is longer — 2 days and 3 hours. To reach the Imeretinsky Promenade by car, take the A-147 highway almost to the Abkhazian border. After turning towards the center of Adler and Krasnaya Polyana, follow the signs for Olympic Avenue.
Additionally, buses number 125c from Sochi, 135 and 135e from the Rosa Khutor resort, and 57 from the airport arrive at Imeretinsky Resort every day. Public transport passengers should get off at the "Sochi Park" stop.
Weather
The weather at Imeretinsky Resort is characterized by a mild subtropical climate. Winters here are warm and comfortable, while summers are hot and humid, making this region ideal for coastal vacations. The highest temperatures are observed in July and August, with a sea breeze adding to the true summer atmosphere. The swimming season lasts from May to October, allowing tourists to enjoy the sea for half the year. The resort's unique microclimate is due to its location: the proximity of the mountains and protective natural zones create perfect conditions for relaxation. Not far from the resort, there is the "Southern Cultures" park, where you can see rare plants listed in the Red Book.
Attractions
Today, it's hard to believe that once this area only had greenhouses, dachas, and swampy territories. There is little information about its history, which is surprising given how attractive the Black Sea coast was to the Greeks, Italians, and Turks. One of the oldest artifacts here was the ruins of a 10th-century Christian church, the site of which is now home to the magnificent Church of the Savior’s Icon Not Made by Hands.
In the 19th century, Adler was known as a place of exile for the Decembrists. Even at the beginning of the 21st century, the area housed state farms and vegetable gardens. However, the situation changed dramatically when Sochi was chosen as the host city for the Winter Olympics, and the region began its active transformation.
Imeretinskaya Valley offers various trips and excursions. It is very interesting to visit Joseph Stalin’s dacha, Krasnaya Polyana, Abkhazia with visits to Lake Ritsa and the New Athos Monastery.
The southernmost promenade of Russia, stretching 6 km, starts at Golubaya Street in Adler and goes all the way to the border with Abkhazia. It's pleasant to watch the sunset in the evening, take beautiful photos, and stroll along the promenade, which is lined with cafes and restaurants. In summer, there is a wonderful view of the Black Sea, while in winter, you can see the snow-covered Caucasus Mountains. In the central part, there is a pedestrian zone. You can find several rental points for bicycles, electric scooters, and golf carts nearby.
The area has no railway tracks, which creates ideal conditions for a quiet and peaceful leisure time.
