Golden Sands Holidays - Resort Guide

The name of the resort speaks for itself a beautiful location and magnificent surroundings. Located 17 km north of downtown Varna, it is virtually connected to the city by a continuous swath of resorts and villa communities. It is a popular tourist destination, drawing many visitors from Europe and beyond.

The area is labelled to have the purest quartz sand on the coast and abound in old trees, landscaped parks, and pedestrian zones. Hot mineral water springs and lush woodlands cascading from the Frangen Plateau, forming the Golden Sands Nature Park, turn the town into one of the most popular tourist spots in Eastern Europe. It also comprises the Holiday Club Riviera luxury resort.

The resort is awash with Hotels which cater for all budgets. As usual, each hotel has a snack-bar or a restaurant. There are many various restaurants offering different kinds of specialties and entertainment in different styles.

The climate in the region is such that it appeals to both families and couples for a relaxing yet lively and interesting holiday. There is much to take in for those wanting a break from the beach, such as the Alaja rock monastery dating back to the 12th century.

You could also indulge yourself in a bit of 'balneology', the practice of using all kinds of baths and spas, including mud and mineral water. These are designed to cure your aches and pains and leave you feeling revitalised for another day of sun, sea and sand on your fantastic Varna holidays.

Holidays in the Varna Region are becoming increasingly popular and Golden Sands Holidays are no different. With people looking for an alternative to the more common package holiday destinations plus the good weather it's little wonder that the tourist infrastructure in the Black Sea resorts is paying dividends in Bulgaria.
