Holidays in Golden Sands

Pristine beaches and a warm welcome always awaits the visitor on holidays at Golden Sands. The Bulgarian Riviera resort town is like a different world, designed to meet a tourist's every need. Here, in addition to a variety of hotels - from budget offers to luxury apartments, there are also a wealth of restaurants, souvenir shops, amusement parks, disco bars and much more to be found.

Planning Golden Sands holidays

Golden Sands is located 17 kilometres north of downtown Varna. The main seaports and airports are in Varna (to the north) and Burgas to the south. Both towns are very well connected with Golden Sands, making it easy to find a bus directly to the door of your hotel. Golden Sands holidays are most attractive from May to October when the maritime climate is at its best. The time zone is GMT+2 (summer time: GMT+3).

Golden Sands: sunbathe, dive & enjoy nightlife

The main attraction of Golden Sands is of course the Black Sea with its long, golden beach - which has even been awarded a Blue Flag. 'Sunny Beach' has everything to hand - from deckchairs to cool beverages. A Golden Sands holiday offers the opportunity to meet tourists from around the world and provides plenty of watersports, from the Aquapolis Waterpark and the PADI Deep Blue Diving Centre to the irresistable charms of the nightlife. The resort is a perfect place for holidays with kids, since there are many activities, children's clubs and other offerings just for kids.

Nature lovers will appreciate the nearby Golden Sands Nature Park, with its lush woodlands and plentiful mineral springs. Outside of the Golden Sands resort, the scenic town of Varna is also worth visiting, especially the restaurants and bars along the seafront, which offer a variety of traditional Bulgarian dishes. No Golden Sands holiday is complete without a visit to the magical Sea Garden, the largest landscape park in the Balkans.
