Burgas

Bulgaria’s Black Sea coastline is a varied mosaic of holiday experiences: alongside quiet, historic fishing towns you will find here some of the largest and most famous resort complexes in Europe, and to plan the holiday that is exactly right for you it helps to understand the geographic differences and the style each area offers. Sunny Beach, about half an hour’s drive north of Burgas, is the energetic, rhythmic beating heart of the region: a classic beach holiday on a grand scale — a wide, golden strip of sand, huge modern all-inclusive hotels, an abundance of water sports and a lively, dynamic nightlife — a perfect destination for anyone after an action-packed family or group holiday with a round-the-clock pace. Golden Sands, about two hours north of Burgas and next to the city of Varna, is Sunny Beach’s greener northern brother: a stunning blend of a forested nature reserve and especially clean golden beaches, where the resorts offer a high-quality family holiday in a slightly more relaxed atmosphere, with an emphasis on spas, water parks and closeness to the nature that meets the sea. Nesebar and Sozopol are the intimate alternative for anyone seeking the romantic, quiet and aesthetic side of the region: ancient peninsula towns north and south of Burgas, offering designed boutique hotels cut into the cliffs, local fish restaurants on the pier and historic stone lanes facing quiet sunsets. At SherryStay we believe that every holiday style has its exact right place: whether you are after the electric energy and buzzing beaches of Sunny Beach, the green calm of Golden Sands, or the romance of Sozopol — we filter for you only the standout places to stay in each category.
