Romantic Jūrmala From Free Walks to Spa Days
Jūrmala is flat and low-key, with no cable cars or lighthouse climbs, so a romantic stay here is built from simple things: the shore, a table, a sauna and an evening concert. This page sets them in order of cost, from walks that cost nothing to a spa day for two. A night in town beats a rushed return to Riga, though the train takes only about 30 minutes.
Free
- Sunset on the sand: walk the beach between Bulduri and Dzintari when the light is low, best on a summer evening. The Baltic is cold and shallow, so this is a stroll and not a swim.
- The bog at first light: the Great Ķemeri Bog boardwalk is free and open all year. Stay on the planks, which are slippery when wet, and expect no rails.
- Jomas iela: the pedestrian street in Majori is about 1.1 km long, with wooden villas, cafes and shops for a slow stroll.
- The forest tower: the platform in Dzintari Forest Park, about 33.5 m up, is free in park hours.
A concert and a late walk
Dzintari Concert Hall (Turaidas iela 1) has a Small Hall, built in 1936, that gives concerts all year, and the evening programme is posted on dzintarukoncertzale.lv . The open-air Great Hall, with about 2,000 seats, is the summer stage. Its next season opens on 28 May 2027. After a concert the sea is a short walk through the pines.
Dinner for two
- 36.Line Grill (Baznīcas iela 2B, Dubulti): a restaurant at the water, reached over the sand, and in the Michelin Guide Latvia 2026 selection for the third year. Hours listed are Wednesday to Friday 17:00 to 22:00, Saturday 13:00 to 22:00 and Sunday 13:00 to 21:00, and it is shut on Monday and Tuesday. Book ahead. Its Michelin Guide page has the listing.
- Amber VIEW (Baltic Beach Hotel): a Mediterranean and Turkish grill with panoramic windows. Tables are given for 2 hours.
- Faces (Bulduru prospekts 52, Bulduri): seafood and Mediterranean dishes.
- Villa Joma (Jomas iela 90): the hotel restaurant.
- KURSHI Terase (Ceriņu iela 22, Dubulti): the restaurant of Kurshi Hotel.
Spa and sauna rituals
Baltic Beach Hotel & SPA (Jūras iela 23/25, Majori) sells sauna rituals on balticbeach.lv . The VIP ritual lasts 120 minutes, costs EUR 99 and includes a whisking ritual and an aroma room, with groups limited to 5. The Royal ritual lasts 180 minutes and costs EUR 149. A private-style retreat named The Garden is also on the hotel’s list. Book ahead and prepay.
Day packages there include Sea Wellness with breakfast at EUR 59, a sauna ritual with a three-course meal at EUR 99, and a day for two with massage and dinner at EUR 269. The plain Sea Wellness pool visit is EUR 39 on weekdays and EUR 49 at weekends and holidays for 120 minutes.
Hotel Jūrmala Spa (Jomas iela 47/49) markets a Romantic escape stay at about EUR 207 per night with dinner for two. Check the price when you book.
Together on the bog
For a guided outing, Purvu bridēji lists a weekday couples bog-shoe walk at EUR 120. Formats and prices change, so check the operator before you plan around it.
A simple weekend order
Arrive on an evening when the Small Hall has a concert, spend the next morning on the beach or the bog, book a spa session for the afternoon and keep that night for a reserved dinner. The Open-Air Museum, free and closed on Mondays, fills a quiet morning after that.
