• Familienurlaub in Jūrmala

Jurmala is a comfortable destination for a family vacation in Latvia. The city offers a long sandy beach, fresh sea air, pine forests, quiet neighbourhoods, restaurants, parks, and many places suitable for children and parents.

The atmosphere in Jurmala is calmer than in a large city, which makes it a good choice for families who want to relax near the Baltic Sea.

Why Jurmala is good for families

The beach in Jurmala is wide and sandy, with plenty of space for walking, playing, relaxing, and spending time outdoors. In summer, families often choose accommodation close to the sea so they can walk to the beach without using a car every day.

The city also has quiet streets, local shops, cafés, playground areas, and walking routes. This makes Jurmala practical for both short weekends and longer family stays.

Best areas for a family stay

Families who want restaurants, cafés, and a more active summer atmosphere may prefer central areas such as Majori and Dzintari.

Families who prefer a quieter holiday may choose Melluzi, Asari, Vaivari, or Kauguri. These areas can be more relaxed and suitable for guests who want local surroundings, parking, and easier access by car.

What to check before booking

Before booking accommodation for a family vacation in Jurmala, it is useful to check:

• Distance to the beach
• Parking options
• Kitchen facilities
• Outdoor space
• Wi-Fi
• Washing machine
• Sleeping places
• Suitability for children
• Check-in and check-out time

Private guest houses and cottages

A private guest house or cottage can be a good choice for families who want more space than a hotel room. A yard, kitchen, parking, barbecue area, and outdoor space can make the stay more comfortable.

This type of accommodation is practical for families with children, small groups, and travellers planning a longer stay near the sea.

Local family travel tip

During June, July, August, and warm weekends, family-friendly accommodation in Jurmala can be booked quickly. If you want to stay close to the beach, it is better to check availability in advance.

For a calm family holiday, choose a place that offers enough space, privacy, easy access to the sea, and practical facilities for daily comfort.
