The name Golden Sands certainly suits this buzzing beach resort on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, near the city of Varna. With a Blue Flag beach boasting an expanse of sand that stretches 3.5km, there’s no shortage of space to set up your sunlounger - even in high season! Once you’ve topped up your tan, spend your Golden Sands holidays exploring the surrounding area. Golden Sands is one of the most popular, sun-kissed and fun-loving resorts on the Bulgarian coast, and it mainly attracts a mix of families and young groups. If you're seeking culture, the bustling city of Varna is just 25-minutes away and oozes Bulgarian charm or head to the Natural Park and bathe in its bubbly hot springs.
For the adventurous at heart, a trip to the Aquapolis water park, with its thrilling rides and slides and the enchanting Mediterranean décor, can be exciting. The Aladzha Rock Monastery with its catacombs, walkways and stairs carved into the cliff-side is also worth exploring. When the sun goes down, take advantage of the pubs, clubs and casinos dotted around the resort for a buzzing and relaxed vibe.
Bulgaria offers amazing cheap holidays that don't scrimp on comfort and quality, and the resort has a huge range of hotels from 2, 3 or 4-star accommodations to full board, half board and cracking self-catering options. Holidays to Golden Sands can be as laid-back or lively as you wish, so enjoy sun-soaked days on the beach and sample cocktails at night!
Essential Information: When you go and what you’ll need
Golden Sands boasts the softest sand on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast and when you feel it between your toes you’ll want to stay put all day! Sun loungers and parasols are widely available for hire here, but if you prefer you can always put down your towel in the free zone. Soak up the sun or take part in the activities on offer!
Aquapolis
To the north west of Golden Sands is the Aquapolis waterpark, reportedly the most beautiful water park in the whole of Eastern Europe. Offering delightful views of the coast, the park is brimming with hair-raising rides, fountains and pools for adults and children to enjoy. Take a dip or be a part of the water spraying spree with the kids!
Sip On Golden Sands Cocktails
Whether you want to sip cocktails by the beach or boogie into the early hours, the nightlife in Golden Sands caters to all. If you're staying in a hotel you can enjoy the entertainment facilities there before heading into town, where you'll find spaceship-themed club Bonkers, Arrogance Music Factory and the ever-popular Muppet Karaoke bar.
Natural Park & Hot Springs
If you can tear yourself away from the beach, there are plenty of natural beauties to explore outside of the Golden Sands resort. Take a peaceful stroll through the Natural Park and you're likely to spot wild animals such as Red Deer and a variety of colourful birds nestled among over 500 species of flora. Before you leave the lush woodlands, enjoy a relaxing (and therapeutic) soak in the bubbling hot springs!
