💡 Tips
- Use the Lastochka express train to reach central Sochi or Adler quickly and avoid coastal traffic jams.
- Bring water shoes for the beach, as Khosta's shores consist mostly of coarse pebbles.
- Visit the Yew and Boxwood Grove (Tisoso-Samshitovaya Roshcha) in the morning for cooler forest air.

Khosta is an attractive coastal microdistrict situated between the center of Sochi and Adler on the Russian Black Sea coast. Sheltered by the Caucasus Mountains, the area has a unique subtropical climate characterized by lush vegetation, mild winters, and warm summers. Khosta is historically renowned as a health resort destination, offering a much quieter and more relaxing atmosphere compared to the bustling downtown area of Sochi. The coastline of Khosta is lined with well-maintained pebble beaches, many of which are associated with the area's historic wellness centers. Visitors can spend their day at the popular Хоста Марина, or relax at dedicated resort strips like Пляж санатория "Хоста" and пляж санатория "Голубая горка". The comfortable facilities at Пляж санатория "Волна" and Пляж санатория "Кристалл" ensure a pleasant seaside experience. Beyond the beaches, Khosta is famous for its extraordinary nature, most notably the nearby Yew-and-Boxwood Grove, a magnificent UNESCO World Heritage site.
