Sunny Beach Holiday Deals
Everything in walking distance
The Sunny Beach resort was created specifically as a holiday destination, so you’ll find all the activities and facilities you’ll need for your holiday perfectly placed within easy walking distance. You’ll find shops, restaurants, bars and clubs all conveniently located around the main beachfront area, where many of the lovely hotels sit.
The natural landscape around Sunny Beach remains largely wild and untouched creating spectacular holiday scenery. There are miles of forest areas just inland, which form a lush backdrop to the coastline, and the sand dunes are dotted with rare plant varieties that naturists will love.
The nature and views are of course, on par with the nightlife. Unlike many other clubbing havens, Sunny Beach doesn’t use its reputation inflate its prices, so it’s a great spot for crazy party holidays, without the price tag.
Pristine sands at Sunny Beach
The main beach here is Cacao Beach, which is of Blue Flag status and stretches over eight kilometres with powdery white sand. You’ll find a friendly atmosphere here with the happy buzz of families, friends and couples sunbathing, snoozing and splashing about in the warm, shallow water. It’s the ideal location for laid-back beach days, long picnics and lots of ice-cream.
You can choose to lie back and relax in the shade of a parasol, or you can get active with some high-octane watersports. There’s a wide selection to choose from here, including windsurfing, water skiing, motor-launch mini-cruises and hang-gliding. You can even take lessons to learn how to sail a yacht or improve the sailing skills you’ve already got.
If you’re looking for a space away from the crowds, there are natural sand dunes to the south of the resort. You’ll find plenty of secluded spots where you can stretch out your beach towel, put on your headphones and take in the views. Is there anywhere better to spend those low spends days on your cheap holiday to Sunny Beach than in a tranquil environment with a beautiful view?
Plenty to see and do
The Action Aquapark waterpark is centrally located and is a great idea for a fun-fuelled day out. Little ones can have great fun in their own special area and everyone can enjoy a slow float along the lazy river or riding the waves in the wave pool. Some of the wilder water rides are reserved for adults only – take a thrilling plunge on the Kamikaze or see what awaits in the Black Hole. With restaurants and bars on site and plenty of sun loungers to relax on, you can spend the whole day here and create those special holiday memories. Tickets can be bought online and ahead of time, helping you to save some pennies when on holiday.
Another big attraction is the Sunny Beach Luna Park, where you’ll find a good old-fashioned beachside funfair. With a selection of rides including a rollercoaster, the always popular dodgem cars and a scary-fun house of horrors, it’s a great day out to do something different.
If you like the idea of racing around a circuit like a Formula 1 star you’ll love Sunny Beach Karting Track. You can take a go-kart out on your own and see if you can make your times better with each lap. Or make it a fun competition, grouping together with friends to race each other and find out who’s the fastest!
Easy day trips
If you’d like to venture out to see some more of local Bulgaria and take in some of the history and architecture many day trips are available to the neighbouring towns of Nessebar and St Vlas.
Nessebar is just south of Sunny Beach and is well worth visiting as it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The old town has ancient fortress walls, medieval churches and narrow cobbled lanes. The traditional houses here have wooden upper floors which jut out above the streets and often have strings of dried fish hanging from the roofs.
St Vlas is just a 20-minute, low-cost bus ride from Sunny Beach and gives you the chance to see a traditional bustling Bulgarian town. It has a wide selection of excellent restaurants and offers some good shopping, ideal for a mix up from those beach days.
Golden Sands is another great day out, but is slightly further at about an hour and a half north. It’s definitely worth a visit for the spectacular beach – you’ll understand how this resort got its name. There’s also quite a bit of history to be explored here, so it could be a really fascinating day out.
From family fun to booming nightlife
Cheap Sunny Beach holidays are increasingly popular because holidaymakers can have a blast with their friends and families and let their hair down. You’ll find plenty to do here in the evenings and the lively atmosphere is just infectious. There are tons of family-friendly restaurants where you can watch a cabaret show, play bingo or join in with some karaoke to keep everyone laughing.
The range of restaurants here cover every corner of the world, so there’s something to keep everyone happy and well fed.
The beachfront venues tend to be where the party’s at, and Sunny Beach’s nightlife scene is certainly comparable to those in Ibiza or Ayia Napa. Enjoy a few cocktails while you watch the sunset, then join a beach party and dance until the sun rises. The booming clubs in Sunny beach tend to host big name DJs and crazy themed nights like Ministry of Sound. Lots of bars and venues tend to have deals and happy hours on so you really can get the most out of your money.
The best part is the affordability – whether you’re looking for that unforgettable clubbing holiday, or just some lively fun with the family but on a budget, cheap Sunny Beach holidays truly are the perfect fit.
