Alean Family Sputnik Hotel  

On Sochi’s first coastline in Matsesta, right by the Black Sea — minutes from Adler Beach, Khosta Beach and attractions like Stalin’s Villa and Sochi Discovery World Aquarium. Alean Family Resort & SPA Sputnik is a family-friendly, ultra all-inclusive beach resort with its own private, equipped shoreline.

The resort stretches across subtropical grounds where the Agura river meets the sea and even hosts a Himalayan cedar planted by Yuri Gagarin. After a major renovation, the complex offers 301 air-conditioned rooms and one-, two- and three-room suites, some with Black Sea or mountain views. Rooms include refrigerators and daily housekeeping, and the property keeps a lively, family-focused vibe with animation stages and landscaped promenades.

Ultra all-inclusive service covers meals and many on-site extras. Hit the outdoor heated pool, lagoon-style water park and indoor kids’ pool with pirate-ship slides, then unwind in the thermal complex and full-service spa with Jacuzzi and treatments. The private beach has loungers, cabanas and snack bars; there are tennis courts, sports fields, kayak and SUP rentals, and daily entertainment programs for all ages — perfect for wake-up sea-breeze mornings and action-packed family days.

The hotel offers a business center, 24-hour front desk and luggage storage. Complimentary wireless internet is available across the property, and guest services include train station drop-off and on-site parking (charges may apply).

Dining runs on an ultra all-inclusive buffet system in the spacious Montvert restaurant with separate children’s lines and baby-feeding facilities. Snack outposts include Le Paradis, La Terrasse and pool bars, plus coffee shops and beach bars for drinks and light bites. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily.
