Hotels in Livu Akvaparks
Līvu Akvaparks anchors Jūrmala, the Baltic coast's best-known spa resort town, with indoor pools that run year-round and an outdoor wave pool and slide zone for summer. Thirty nearby hotels and apart-hotels, most within a short walk of Jomas Street and the sandy beach, range from spa resorts to self-catering apartments.
Families heading to Līvu Akvaparks base themselves in Jūrmala, the 33-kilometre string of beach towns on the Gulf of Riga that has drawn Latvians and their Baltic neighbours to its sand and pine forests since the 19th century. The water park itself pairs indoor pools built for the region's long shoulder season with an outdoor wave pool and slide zone that only opens in summer, so both a grey June afternoon and a hot July weekend have a plan. Most of the thirty hotels and apart-hotels tracked here sit inside walking distance of Jomas Street, Jūrmala's pedestrian spine of restaurants and shops, or along the beach promenade toward Dzintari, which puts the water park, the sea and a spa-town evening within the same short walk for most families staying here.

Local tips
- ✓Book a hotel between Majori and Dzintari to keep the water park, Jomas Street and the beach all within walking distance of your room.
- ✓Pack swimwear for the indoor pools even outside summer, since the outdoor wave pool and slide zone at the park only run seasonally.
- ✓If a hotel's own spa and pools matter as much as the water park, look for an indoor sea-water or heated pool rather than a sauna alone.
- ✓Weekend and school-holiday dates fill the closest apart-hotels first, so lock in family suites well ahead of the Latvian and Baltic summer break.
- ✓Drivers can reach Riga's old town or the airport in under half an hour, which makes a day trip or arrival transfer straightforward from most Jūrmala bases.
- ✓Self-catering apartments around Majori suit longer family stays, with in-room kitchens that cut down on restaurant costs across a multi-day visit.
Where to stay
FAQ
Is Līvu Akvaparks open all year?
The indoor pools at Līvu Akvaparks run year-round, which is what makes Jūrmala workable as a family base outside summer. The outdoor wave pool and slide zone are seasonal, opening only in the warmer months, so travellers chasing outdoor slides specifically should plan a summer visit rather than a shoulder-season one.
How far is Jūrmala from Riga?
Jūrmala sits roughly half an hour from central Riga and Riga International Airport by car, and a similar journey by suburban train from Riga's main station. That makes a hotel here workable both as a standalone family base for the water park and as a quieter alternative to staying in the capital itself.
Which hotels are within walking distance of Līvu Akvaparks?
Hotels clustered around Majori and Jomas Street sit closest to the water park and the beach, and several of them pair family suites with their own spa or wellness facilities. Apartments further along the promenade toward Dzintari trade a few extra minutes on foot for a quieter, more residential stretch of Jūrmala.
Do Jūrmala hotels near the water park include breakfast?
Breakfast varies by property here: some spa hotels serve it as part of the room rate, while apart-hotels and self-catering apartments typically leave guests to use an in-room kitchen instead. Families who want breakfast included should confirm it at booking rather than assume it, since the split is roughly even across this stretch of Jūrmala.
Is Jūrmala walkable for families without a car?
Jūrmala's beach towns are compact and largely pedestrian along Jomas Street and the promenade, so families based near Majori can reach the water park, the beach and restaurants on foot. A car or the Riga suburban train mainly matters for day trips beyond Jūrmala, not for daily life around Līvu Akvaparks.
What else is there to do in Jūrmala besides the water park?
Beyond the water park, Jūrmala's own draw is its 33-kilometre sandy beach, the wooden Art Nouveau villas along the promenade, and the Dzintari Concert Hall, which hosts open-air performances through summer. Families often split days between the pools and the beach, with an evening walk down Jomas Street for dinner.
