Kurpaty beach

Sanatorium “Kurpaty” (formerly boarding house “Druzhba”) is an unusual building in the village. Kurpaty near Yalta, resembling either a gear or a flying saucer, built in 1983–1985. It was created jointly by Soviet and Czechoslovak specialists. The author was the architect Igor Vasilevsky. During construction, it was necessary to take into account several natural conditions: location on a steep mountain slope, seismicity of the place at 9 points, a fault in the earth’s crust and the presence of a landslide. Taking all these points into account, the building was built according to the original design. The main building of the Kurpaty sanatorium has no analogues and is unique in its space-planning and design solutions. Made in the form of a ring (76 m in diameter), it is installed on three high support towers, which house elevators, stairs, and communications. On the lower level of the building there is a seawater swimming pool, whose wide windows create the illusion of the open sea. The shape of the buildings allows you to expand the field of view. For comfort, all bedroom windows are oriented towards the sea. The windows offer a beautiful view of the sea and the unique Crimean landscape. There is a walking terrace with a picturesque panorama of the resort. Because of its original shape, the building even managed to get into the film Resident Evil: Retribution (2012), where it acted as a former Soviet military base in Kamchatka (30–32 minutes).

The sanatorium is excellent, delicious food, friendly staff. The medical staff and procedures are what you need, I recommend Charcot! I would like there to be no smoking on the highway and in the rooms, and the disco was not so loud, the DJ is weak, there is more noise from him (((there is no good music. And it would also be more convenient if the beach towels could be changed at least at the reception, otherwise they have to clean when everyone is on the beach, and take the towels with you accordingly...

The rooms in the Druzhba building are excellent with sea views. With air conditioning. The beach has its own clear sea, an elevator goes down to the beach. Rooms are cleaned every day. The food is ok, if you don’t like it, there is a cafe nearby. Drinking water is available, but they are trying to limit it, this is a big minus, of course. Bus stop next to the resort
