Soniachna Dolyna or Solnechnaya Dolina(Ukrainian: Сонячна Долина; Russian: Солнечная Долина; literally, Sunny Valley) is a village in the Sudak Municipality of the Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine and annexed by Russia as the Republic of Crimea.^[3]

Previously, the settlement was known as the Kozi village (Crimean Tatar: Qoz). Following the forced deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR published a decree on May 18, 1948 renaming the settlement along with many others throughout Crimea from their native Crimean Tatar names to their current variants.^[4]

Soniachna Dolyna is located on Crimea's southern shore at an elevation of 95 metres (312 ft).^[2] Its population was 1,431 in the 2001 Ukrainian census.^[3] Current population: 1,526 (2014 Census).^[5]
