Nabran is a sun-drenched resort fringed by sandy beaches, lush subtropical forests and the sparkling Caspian Sea. Hot dry summers and mild winters make Nabran a year-round beach destination. Bask in the sunshine, swim in the crystal-clear water and work your way through the resort’s cafes, bars and restaurants.
The beach stretches for several kilometres along the coast and is lined with hotels and resorts. The largest complexes boast enormous pools set in landscaped gardens. Family-friendly resorts feature splash pools, fountains and waterslides.
Walking trails wind through the surrounding forests and offer a chance to spot Caspian red deer, lynx, raccoons and other wildlife. Samur-Yalama Milli Park is a great place to stretch your legs and admire the leafy chestnut, oak and ironwood trees. Watch for black kites and eastern imperial eagles soaring overhead. Some of the more challenging trails take you into the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains.
