Sunny Beach

Most popular resort in Bulgaria along with golden sands. Nevertheless, this is a budget place for a family vacation. Lots of 2*-3* hotels. The main life hack of this place is not to settle in the center of the resort if you don’t want to keep company with British students and feel the “atmosphere” of waste and revelry.

Resort Pomorie

There is no such luxurious greenery as in St. Constantine and Elena, but housing is a little cheaper and the sea is warmer due to the fact that the resort is located to the south. Besides Pomorie- a balneological resort, even Israelis come here because of the cheapness. They say that the local mud is no worse than its "sister" from the Dead Sea.

In the vicinity of Sozopol, for lovers of solitude, I can recommend a couple of hotels.

ARKUTINO RESORT 4*- a cozy and very quiet hotel near, suitable for families with kids, no discos, but organic products from the farm and a fresh Black Sea breeze. The hotel is located on a hill - you will often have to go up and down. Going to the sea on a wooden deck through the Dunes - this has its own romance.

LAGUNA BEACH RESORT & SPA 4*- on the other hand, it is located on the coast and is suitable for families for a long vacation. Apartments of various sizes and prices, there are three-storey villas with a kitchen and terraces, some surprise with the scale and luxury for Bulgaria.

Resorts for families with children

For a comfortable stay with children, the ideal purity of water and sand, a smooth descent into the water without drops, a calm sea, and fine sand are important. For someone, the presence of animators, educators, children's towns, where you can leave the child for a while, and various entertainments for children matters. If the child eats only homemade food, it is important to have apart-hotels in the resort where you can cook on your own. If the child is older and there are no problems with food, many parents prefer all inclusive.

Older children will be interested in pedal boats, karting, mini-golf, archery, horseback riding.

Elenite. This is a club complex with its own beach, so the prices here are a little higher. The complex works on the All inclusive system. On the territory - 2 children's clubs, equipped playgrounds.

Dunes. Calm and cozy place. It is located in the heart of the bay, so the sea here is very quiet, with clear turquoise water. Prices are about the same as in Elenite.

Review . This is a small resort village. The beaches of Obzor are quite spacious even in the peak season. There are sections of the beach with gentle shallows, where it is convenient to swim with children. The beach is covered with fine golden sand. Prices in Obzor are generally 2-3 times lower than in large popular resorts.

Pomorie. The terrain here is flat and the sea is shallow, so Pomorie is suitable for a holiday with a small child. Prices in the city are low. You can also undergo medical procedures here.

Youth resorts

Clubs, discos, cafes, restaurants and other entertainment are in abundance at the following resorts:

Golden Sands Life here never stops. In addition to clubs, bars, cafes, the resort has many opportunities for outdoor activities. Also, during the entire tourist season, events are held: beauty contests, competitions, concerts of famous performers and much more.

Concerts, fashion shows, beauty contests are held here. If you choose where to relax in Bulgaria with a cheerful company, choose this resort - you will not be mistaken. Even the most sophisticated lovers of nightlife will not get bored in Sunny Beach.

Excursion rest

If, in addition to the sea and the beach, you want to see historical monuments, you should go to Sozopol or Nessebar. And also go on an excursion to Balchik.

Sozopol is the oldest city on the territory of modern Bulgaria. It was founded in 4-3 millennium BC. e. This is a small picturesque town with old houses. Sozopol is very fond of artists, writers and just romantics.

The Garden of Allah deserves special attention, where the Silver Well is located, alleys lined with millstones; African earthenware jars from Morocco.

How to choose a resort according to the season?

The beach season in Bulgaria lasts from June to the end of September. However, in the first half of June and in the second half of September the sea can be cold. Therefore, at the beginning and end of the season, it is better to choose the southernmost resorts - where the sea heats up faster and cools down longer. In early June, Nessebar is a good choice, where the sea is quite shallow and warms up quickly. In September, you can go to the Dunes, Sunny Beach, Primorsko. In July and August, the sea along the entire coast is already warm, and you can choose any resort.

Long coastline, clear water and warm fine sand, so appreciated by European tourists - all this makes a large number of very popular, moreover, this popularity is growing from year to year. You can at least every year relax in different places, while getting new emotions and impressions, because each place from our today's rating has its own unique features and advantages over others. It is difficult to rank large cities with centuries of history and small resorts, but you can come up with nominations for them. So, for a sea holiday for every taste, they are waiting for you in today's article.

So, in first place in the ranking of the most famous outside the country the best seaside resorts in Bulgaria, of course, Varna. This city is a real ultimate dream for all Soviet residents 30-40 years ago, such a Bulgarian analogue of Sochi or Yalta, where many interesting things are collected. A huge number of tourists still travel here, who like to combine a beach holiday and an educational one, and also want, as they say, to plunge into social life.


Varna for tourists traveling to, the pleasure is not cheap. In local hotels, a room can cost you 2 times more than in smaller resort complexes. And despite the fact that there are no ideal beaches in Varna itself, everything will have to be reached additionally. Among the advantages - excellent infrastructure. The presence of not only an airport, but also a good transport interchange, so that if you wish, you can quickly and conveniently get to anywhere on the Bulgarian coast from here. For those who want to get a complete impression of a resort holiday full of cafes, clubs, restaurants and parks, with visits to museums and excursions for every taste, Varna is definitely worth choosing.


The most beautiful city in the ranking the best seaside resorts in Bulgaria, undoubtedly, Nessebar, a city with a great history, the entire old part of which (it is located on a peninsula separated from the coastline) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is worth going here for those who love history, who want to feel the spirit of the old Orthodox country, in whose culture so many traditions are mixed, and this mixture turned out to be very bizarre. Can this holiday be called purely beach? As in the case of Varna, probably not, but if you are of school age, inquisitive and energetic, then it is in such places that you will find the maximum number of interesting sights.

If for you the concept of "expensive" is identical to the concept of "good", then you need to consider the most expensive options among the best resorts in Bulgaria on the sea. Rating, compiled by tour operators, gives the palm among all Bulgarian premium-segment holiday destinations to Riviera, a complex located near Varna.


Since the Riviera complex is quite small, consisting of several hotels, you need to book places here in advance. For a lot of money you will find the right level of service, good beaches, mineral springs, well-groomed park area, a quiet, relaxing holiday. It is the hotels of the Riviera that are consistently included in the ratings of the best hotels on the entire Black Sea coast.

Not far behind the Riviera is another small town, which over several decades has turned from a fishing village into a fashionable resort. We are talking about it is called the resort of millionaires for its features, for example, for a perfectly equipped bay with a berth for ships and yachts, where the richest people not only in Bulgaria, but also in neighboring countries keep their boats (worth hundreds of thousands of euros). The port itself and the Marina embankment leave an excellent impression on any tourist, especially since here you can watch the annual sailing regatta, a big event even on a national scale.


A closed resort that operates on the popular all-inclusive system is Elenite. In our the best resorts in Bulgaria on the sea ranking it can be classified as one of the most closed. It has everything that you can find in an ordinary resort town, but in a concentrated form in a small area. These are restaurants, and shops, and tennis courts, and large swimming pools, and a riding club, and a water park. All this makes Elenite a resort from which you do not even need to leave, since everything you need is literally at hand.


Among the fashionable complexes, Ravda is considered the champion in security. It is located at a distance of 1.5 kilometers from Nessebar and is considered an excellent village for children and youth recreation. should have all the set of qualities that Ravda has: it is very clean, a safe protected area, a mild climate and good beaches.

The best seaside resorts in Bulgaria

Respectability is not needed by all tourists who discover Bulgaria. Most often, young people are interested in completely different categories, so for them the list the best seaside resorts in Bulgaria has been heading Sunny Beach for many years. And the point is not only in its two beaches, which are marked with a blue flag, a valuable quality mark for every beach resort, but also in the abundance of entertainment and accommodation for every taste and budget.


Coming to Sunny Beach, you can be sure that your vacation will be very successful. But only if you are good with a large number of people, cheerful discos, an abundance of beach attractions and all that, you will not be bored for sure. Even nature itself has taken care of your impressions of the rest, since the local beach is located clearly on the east side and it is here that you can watch majestic sunrises (if you are able to look at them after evening discos).


Even more detached is the Golden Sands resort complex, which is a real Mecca for young people. To pour into its atmosphere, as in the Spanish Ibiza, should be to the fullest, but lovers of a quiet family holiday should still look for a vacation in any village in the neighborhood. Or do not choose hotels located on the 1st and 2nd lines, as well as near the central embankment. But here you will find incredibly warm water, which even at night does not cool down to a cool temperature. That is why very often tourists choose Golden Sands to relax in or even at the beginning of October, which become much empty with the beginning of the school year.


In addition to Sunny Beach and Golden Sands, the village of St. Constantine and Elena, which is located near Varna, can be attributed to popular and high-quality holiday destinations. But besides clubs and restaurants, you can still improve your health here, as Bulgarian aristocrats have done for many years, coming here. There are magnificent old parks and many mineral springs.

The best seaside resorts in Bulgaria: rating

Children are the main target audience that tour operators rely on when offering tours to Bulgaria, because the mild climate, quality food, warm sea and all this is close to home and relatively cheap - all these factors are very important for every caring parent. If singled out among best resorts in Bulgaria by the sea rating the most childish, then Kranevo will be in the first place, with its famous and favorite water park "Aqua-Life". Not without reason, most of the local hotels are designed to receive a large number of children's and youth groups, in each hotel you will find decent animation, rental of sports equipment, bicycles, so you will not think about what to do with little fidgets.


Most often, it is Kranevo that is recognized as an ideal place for children to relax with its spacious and clean beaches. But parents can also be advised to turn their attention to the town. There, in addition to beaches with blue flags, the entertainment complex "Castle" awaits kids.

The best seaside resorts in Bulgaria

So far, we have mostly told you about the best seaside resorts in Bulgaria which are widely known to our tourists. But there are also several interesting places, which so far remain practically a purely Bulgarian place, which the Bulgarians themselves are not too eager to reveal. Most often, such towns and villages are very calm, quiet, it is there that you can admire the unique Black Sea wildlife and get a real charge of health and vigor for the whole next year. In addition, as in all places “for their own”, prices here will be much lower than in popular complexes and resort towns.


Learn more about the fishing village of Lozenets, because besides the fact that, according to biologists, this is the cleanest sea on the entire coast, it is also here that all seafood lovers can take their souls away. In the immediate vicinity of the Strandja Mountains, on the coastline, which consists of six beaches, you will find a dozen different cafes and small restaurants where you can taste fresh catch of fish and mussels, squid and octopus, crabs and shrimps. Such a holiday will become a real holiday, which will be remembered for another whole year.


If you love wild nature and appreciate the protected sea corners for this, then be sure to take a closer look at Primorsko and Kiten. They are located at a distance of 5 kilometers from each other and it is they who hold the first places in the ranking of the most interesting in terms of natural diversity. You can visit the island of St. Thomas to watch turtles, enjoy the views of flowering water lilies, look at the wildlife of the Black Sea coast. It is in Primorsko that surfers love to come, for whom the north beach, open to all winds, is ideal. But the south side is perfect for children's recreation, the descent into the sea is gentle, and the water is very warm.


But in these places, get ready to plunge into the local Bulgarian flavor, so do not expect luxurious conditions and faceless chain hotels. On the other hand, everyone chooses the type of vacation that gives him the greatest pleasure, it remains only to choose a resort that will perfectly satisfy all your needs.

Alina Pashinskaya

Bulgaria is famous for its various resorts. There are in the country like long promoted, and very young, but rapidly conquering their potential tourists are small picturesque villages. They also go to Bulgaria improve your health, relax both body and soul. The seaside resorts of the country attract not only young, but also more mature vacationers who remember the hospitable fraternal Bulgaria.

Nessebar - the oldest city in Europe

In the New part of Pomorie is the monastery of St. George. We managed to visit not only the territory of the temple, but also its museum, which is located right there, completely free of charge (we still left the donation of the temple, but voluntarily!).

All sorts of festivals for tourists and residents of the city often take place on the territory of this cinema.

A large and expensive hotel complex impresses with its size (the photo shows only 1/20 of its size).

An interesting idea for decorating a restaurant on the coast of Pomorie.

The city has a lot of greenery and parks. In the hot summer heat, this is especially valuable.

Burgas is one of largest cities Bulgaria

quite attractive and inexpensive resort. There is a large seaport, international airport, railway and bus stations.

Burgas has beautiful clean beaches, a large seaside park (about 7 km) with an opera house and several museums. All this attracts many tourists to the city every year.

Despite the fact that the Internet is actively promising cheap shopping in Burgas, in fact prices there very rather big, Truth good choice. The city itself, although large, is very beautiful.

On the main street of Burgas is the "navel of the city".

If you do not know where the opera house is located in the city, then you may not notice it. Outwardly, it looks more like an ordinary building.

Although Burgas is a port city, the coasts are clean and the water is calm and calm.

In front of the monument to the Soviet soldier right on the main square of Burgas, in the morning you can "refresh yourself" in an unusual fountain.

One of the main attractions of the city is the seaside park of Burgas.

Sunny Beach is the most expensive resort in Bulgaria

- one of the most popular and famous tourist complexes of the country. A city of incessant discos, built up with rows of countless hotels. Everything is expensive here. Prices in shops, restaurants, on the beaches, by taxi - several times higher than in Pomorie. And at the same time the resort is literally packed with people. The beaches, although clean, can often be seen seaweed on the shore (and in the evening they are thrown back into the water).

Awarded for the environmental benefits of water and sand blue flag.

On Sunny Beach there is a bus station. In the city you can easily order many excursions.

If you stomp on these planks under the scorching sun for a long, long time, you can go to the beach of Sunny Beach.

Tourists who settled in this hotel are more fortunate - they do not need to go far to the beach.

Cheerful Duck perfectly copes with his role - he invites vacationers to enjoy fast food.

A bridge is thrown across the busy highway of Sunny Beach. In it you can walk up to the second floor or ride the elevator and cross the dangerous road.

A popular form of entertainment for vacationers in Sunny Beach is a souvenir photo with a huge live parrot.

Balchik - city-botanical garden

Balchik - inexpensive but not too beautiful resort. We would not want to rest here all 14 days.

The popularity of Balchik is given by the fabulously beautiful summer residence of the Romanian queen in him. This is one of the main attractions of all Bulgaria, especially its seaside region.

The city is located in the north of the country and is the third largest seaport. We've been looking for a long time bus station in Balchik, but it turned out that his not anymore. Next to the old and abandoned building is a regular stop. On it hangs the schedule of buses, on which you can leave the city.

The main disadvantage, is that get there from Balchik directly to the same Nessebar or Burgas impossible. Necessarily need to change in Varna.

This is how the bus station in Balchik looks now - a completely abandoned building.

Walking the streets of Balchik is not very pleasant. Everywhere you are surrounded by old buildings, and it is difficult to hide from the sun, as there is little greenery.

From the outside, the Queen's residence looks much better than inside.

There is also an Ethnographic Museum in the city, but the entrance to it is paid.

The entire city of Balchik is clearly visible from the territory of the botanical garden.

Golden Sands - a hot resort in Bulgaria

Golden Sands is one of the biggest resorts in the country. Prices Here a little lower than in Sunny Beach, but the weather is usually very hot. The sun bakes simply unbelievably, because the mountains do not allow fresh air to break through, so it is often stuffy here.

Great fit for young people and nightlife lovers. This resort will not let you get bored - music and fun does not stop around the clock. But there is one downside here - descent to the beach and entrance to the sea not so gentle, as in Sunny Beach or Nessebar due to the mountainous terrain.

Varna - cultural and historical heritage of Bulgaria

Varna is also popular resort Bulgaria. This is a huge, lively city with a lot of parks, shops and squares. It’s impossible to say that everything here is very cheap, but you can’t name particularly high prices either.

Varna is an important economic and cultural center with its own airport and well-established ferry service. This the biggest port city in Bulgaria.

Varna has big bus station, from which you can leave in any direction - both in Bulgaria itself and in other countries of the world.

There are many unusual and beautiful buildings in Varna, especially in the city center.

The Assumption Cathedral of Varna is very beautiful in the evening, when it is illuminated from below by many small lanterns.

Openwork Asparuhov Bridge is the longest bridge in Bulgaria, connecting the two parts of Varna.

Obzor is a young resort village

In this town we were only passing through, but it seemed to us cute And inexpensive, let and a bit boring. Obzor is developing rapidly and soon promises a luxurious vacation for any category of tourists.

Prices On him much lower than in the popular resorts of the country. in the town there is a bus station.

Sea a little warmer than in neighboring Golden Sands. Great for holidays with children. Obzor has a children's camp with a water park and an amusement park.

Obzor has a small bus station.

Residential houses and hotels in the village are small, but cozy.

Life flows slowly on the streets of Obzor.

An information board stands next to the bus station and anyone can read useful information.

In the village, as we have noticed, there is a lot of greenery, which is an undoubted plus on hot summer days.

Well, gentlemen vacationers, it's time to look for a place under the sun. And better on an inexpensive, but comfortable sun lounger! How do you like your holiday in Bulgaria - very close to home, a Russian-speaking country, safe and inexpensive!

"Sweet Pepper, Golden Sands and Rose Oil" -

These three phrases are associated primarily with Bulgaria: according to rumors, locals use sweet pepper as an ingredient for all dishes, including brandy and cakes, and a wide range of cosmetics are made based on rose oil.

And there is no need to talk much about Golden Sands - this is the most famous Bulgarian seaside resort, tested by the grandparents of Russian youth.

Of course, this is the most superficial idea of ​​​​the beautiful Balkan country.

In Bulgaria, there are enough not only beautiful beaches, but also excellent ski resorts, historical and cultural attractions.

Most vacations are in the summer, so potential tourists are interested in holidays in Bulgaria from mid-June to early September.

Weather in Bulgaria by months: June, July, August, September

The country has access to the western coast of the Black Sea: the coastline stretches from north to south and is about 380 km long. Due to the peculiarities of the geographical location, the temperature of water and air varies somewhat.

During the first days of summer, seaside resorts boast a pleasant air temperature during the day, but by the evening it is noticeably fresher.

A trip in the first decade of June is called into question by the rather invigorating temperature of the water in the sea, fluctuating around 20 - 21 ° C and occasional rains. There is no season for the season, but for cautious heat-loving tourists, it is better to postpone the dates of travel to Bulgaria to July.

In order not to get upset because of the cold water in the sea or rain, plan a trip no earlier than June 10, and choose one of the southern resorts where the “beach” weather comes a little earlier.
