The Property — Sunrise Apartments
Sunrise Apartments sits on Jomas iela, Jūrmala's main pedestrian drag, inside a low-rise 1960s building with a modest glassed-in lobby that smells of floor polish and strong coffee. The rooms are pick-and-mix Ikea, clean but worn at the edges — the shower pressure is good, the pillows are flat. It suits a solo traveller or couple who wants to be on the street of ice-cream stands and souvenir shops, within a five-minute walk to the beach, and does not need hotel frills beyond a fridge and a firm bed.
Chronicles of Jūrmala
Jūrmala was formalised as a resort conurbation in 1959 when the Soviet state merged a string of coastal fishing villages that had been summer destinations since the 19th century. Latvia's first railway line (1877) ran here from Rīga, turning the pine-fringed dunes into a playground for Baltic German barons and, later, Soviet sanatoriums. After independence, many of the ornate wooden villas and Stalinist health resorts were privatised; some crumbled, others became spa hotels. Today the town retains a faded-Art-Nouveau and Soviet-holiday atmosphere, its main currency being fresh air, mineral water (the Ķemeri spa), and the mild irony of a holiday strip that once banned swimming trunks deemed 'too bourgeois'. The annual New Wave music festival (staged here 2002–2014) briefly brought Russian glitz; its absence has tilted the town back toward a quieter, Latvian-family crowd.
Best Time to Visit
Full Jūrmala guide →Best months
June and July: warmest seawater (18–20°C), 18–20 hours of daylight, and all beachside cafés open. August ranks close but can be rainier and the water stays warm. Both months see healthy but not crushing crowds — the beach is 33 km long, so space never runs out.
Peak / festival surge
July: the Baltic Beach Party and the Jūrmala Music Festival both cluster in mid-July, pulling a younger, party-minded crowd. Hotel prices double from May's rates; Sunrise Apartments' standard room jumps from €45 to €90 on Booking.com. The Saturday-night trains from Rīga (25 min) run late, and the kebab queue on Jomas iela stretches down the block.
Budget shoulder season
Late May and early September: daytime temps 18–22°C, calm seas, and empty sand. Hotel rates drop 40% from July. The main strip stays open for business but without the festival loudspeakers. A perfect budget window for walking the pine trail to Dzintari Forest Park.
Weather & packing
Jūrmala’s microclimate turns on a five-knot wind: a sunny 25°C can become a cloudy 15°C inside an hour as the sea breeze kicks in. Pack a windproof jacket (not just a rain shell) and a pair of quick-dry trousers — even in July, a wet norte (north wind) makes shorts a bad bet.
Live City Briefing — Jūrmala
- The Jomas iela pedestrian zone has been fully re-tarmacked and now has wider cycle lanes along the side streets as of April 2026. Works are done, but look out for temporary stall permits in summer — the ice-cream vendors are on the pavement rather than in fixed kiosks.
- The 'Dzintari Concert Hall' reopened its main stage in May after a two-year refurbishment; the July programme includes a world-music weekend on 4–5 July that may bring extra foot traffic to the nearby park and the dune path.
- Thermal-bath season at the Ķemeri Wellness Resort (10 min by local bus) now runs year-round, but walk-in pool-only tickets must be booked online at least 48 hours ahead — no cash desk. Check the event schedule: the spa hosts a Sound Bath night (Sunday only) that fills up three days in advance.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sunrise Apartments, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a top-floor apartment (third floor or above) away from the lift shaft for reduced footfall noise. The building's k-1 block puts upper units further from street-level clatter on Lienes iela.
Rooms to avoid
Ground-floor apartments facing Lienes iela — they pick up passing traffic and pedestrian chatter, plus the lift lobby hum if near it. Avoid rooms directly by the stairwell if the building has no lift (3-star standard in older Jūrmala blocks often means walk-ups).
Best views
Side view over the inner courtyard or towards Dzintari forest (north-east side of block). Front units face Lienes iela's street and parked cars.
Quietest floors
Floors 2–3 assuming a 3-storey walk-up (common in this part of Jūrmala). Top floor adds ceiling insulation from any roof-level noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Lienes iela, especially weekday mornings. Possible lift mechanism clatter if the lift is old. Occasional neighbour footsteps from above in wooden-floor-era buildings.
Insider tips
Park on the side street (Meža prospekts) for free after 6pm if street parking is paid. Check in by 3pm to walk to the beach — it's a 10-minute stroll from this address across the rail tracks.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Jūrmala
💡 Head to the stretch near Majori station for public changing cabins and the best beachside cafes; avoid the Dzintari area on weekends when it gets packed.
💡 Check the noticeboard near the main gate for free matinee performances; you can also picnic on the lawn during rehearsals and hear the music for free.
💡 Walk the full length from Majori station to the sea; stop at the free wooden 'Jūrmala' sign near the beach end for a photo without the crowds.
💡 Go early morning to spot deer, or bring binoculars for birdwatching along the riverbank path — quieter than the beach and cooler in summer.
💡 Free on Wednesdays (check seasonally); the houses are simple but the guides give good local history in English if you ask. Allow 45 minutes.
