Sochi is a resort city that is very popular with foreigners and domestic tourists. We althy people, as well as families with limited financial capabilities, can have a great rest here. A lot of good reviews can be heard about the sanatorium "Volna" (Khosta). The he alth resort invited guests at any time of the year.
Historical background
In 2014, the resort celebrated its 50th anniversary. The he alth resort opened its doors for the first time on April 10, 1964. The sanatorium complex "Volna" in those days could simultaneously receive 260 guests. The buildings were designed by the famous architect Alexander Ivanovich Rytov. The sanatorium complex consists of four large palace-type buildings. The buildings have an architecture typical of a post-war resort town. The territory is decorated with original statues, fountains and waterfalls.
Despite the fact that the first guests in the sanatorium appeared only in 1964, the construction of the he alth resort began 20 years before that. For the construction of buildings wasa picturesque place was chosen on the left bank of the Khosta River, 200 meters from the sea coast. About 10 million rubles were allocated for the construction of the sanatorium. After the construction of one building, construction stopped. The Great Patriotic War interfered. By 1948, the second building was commissioned. Full construction was completed only after 16 years.
Modern "Wave"
The buildings of the sanatorium were periodically restored. However, it is impossible to compare the he alth resort with modern medical complexes. The rooms here had their own "zest", there is the spirit of a bygone era.
Sanatorium "Volna" (Khosta) attracted tourists with its convenient location. The buildings are located near the Quiet Bay, 500 meters from the famous balneary "Matsesta". Khosta railway station is located in the immediate vicinity. Therefore, budget tourists can easily get here by train from Sochi Central Station. Exact address: Krasnopolyanskaya street, 6.
A bit of sadness
Unfortunately, today we have to talk about the he alth resort in the past tense. The sanatorium has not been functioning for several years due to lack of funding, despite the fact that many people speak positively about the sanatorium "Volna" (Khosta). Why was one of the best tourist complexes in Sochi closed? Unfortunately, no one can give an exact answer right now. While money is being allocated for the construction of new boarding houses, Volna's buildings are becoming more and more dilapidated.
Meanwhile, a few years ago, the sanatorium was one of the best placesentertainment district Khosta. Numerous positive reviews from vacationers confirm this.
Numbers
Single, double and triple rooms in two categories were offered for budget tourists in the sanatorium "Volna" (Khosta). Apartments of the first category included a large double bed, TV, refrigerator, bathroom and shower. It was also possible to stay in cheaper rooms without a TV and one bathroom for two rooms.
Luxury rooms were popular among we althy tourists. It was a two-room apartment with a large sofa, a desk, a double bed, a refrigerator and a TV. Reviews show that a family with a child could feel completely at home here.
All rooms were cleaned daily, bed linen and towels were changed every seven days.
Food
Like other sanatoriums in Sochi (Khosta), "Volna" offered its guests high-quality three meals a day. A seven-day menu was developed according to the custom type. Each vacationer could choose a food option for himself based on his own preferences and diagnosis. The daily diet necessarily included dairy products, soups, fresh fruits, seafood, meat. There was also a special menu for children.
There was a cafe on the territory of the sanatorium "Volna" (Khosta). The guests could spend the evening in a cozy atmosphere, pamper themselves with original dishes. The children liked delicious desserts, ice cream.
Infrastructure and entertainment
When the sanatorium functioned, everything needed for a quality vacation with the whole family was present here. Many speak well of the landscaped territory of the he alth resort. It was always clean and comfortable here. Original architectural solutions (fountains and statues) mixed with exotic vegetation created a beautiful landscape design. Original pictures were taken here as a keepsake.
An indoor swimming pool functioned on the territory of the boarding house. Water procedures here could be carried out at any time of the year. But in summer, guests preferred to visit the pebble beach, which was located in close proximity. You could rent sun loungers and umbrellas.
It was great to organize evening leisure in the sanatorium "Volna" (Khosta). There was a disco almost every day. A beach holiday could be supplemented with a visit to a cafe-bar.
For lovers of vivid impressions, interesting excursions around the city of Sochi and its environs were offered. The sanatorium "Volna" (Khosta) was not inferior to other he alth resorts at all. Reviews show that people with different financial capabilities could have a great time here. Many families used to come here every year until the boarding house ceased to function.
He alth programs
The sanatorium had two main medical directions. These are diseases of the cardiovascular system and the musculoskeletal system. Patients with chronicdisorders of the nervous system, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. For treatment, the he alth resort accepted patients who had to visit the zones of radioactive damage.
Modern diagnostic equipment - that's what else the sanatorium "Volna" (Khosta) could boast of. History shows that earlier vacationers here could undergo a complete examination of the body. The appointment was conducted by leading specialists of narrow profiles (gynecologists, endocrinologists, ophthalmologists, pediatricians, etc.).
Balneotherapy was carried out at a high level in the sanatorium. Baths based on mineral waters made it possible to improve blood microcirculation, normalize blood pressure, and relieve pain. Balneotherapy in the form of showers was widely used. Such procedures showed good results in diseases of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system.
In addition to general he alth procedures, the sanatorium also offered cosmetic services. In addition, everyone could visit the sauna, use the services of a massage therapist.
Is there any hope for recovery?
Today, the sanatorium "Volna" (Khosta) no longer exists in the former sense, and the photos of the he alth resort are depressing. The buildings, which a few years ago amazed with their original architecture, are crumbling, no one takes care of the green alleys. About three years after the closure, the he alth resort, in general, stood without any movement. Today on the net you can find ads for the sale of movable and immovable property of a boarding house. Wholesale and retail you can buy furniture that previouslydecorated the rooms.
Several times foreign delegations were seen on the territory of the sanatorium. It is possible that soon the institution will be handed over to people who want to bring life back to the he alth resort and in a few years tourists will be able to enjoy their vacation in a renovated boarding house.
