At family-friendly Alua Sunny Beach Resort & Spa, lounging on its Blue Flag sands is just as alluring as discovering Bulgaria’s treasures
On Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast, the landscape unfolds as a tapestry touched by civilisations gone by, where Neolithic settlements, Byzantine heritage and modernism overlap. It’s a fitting setting for Alua Sunny Beach Resort & Spa, part of Inclusive Collection by Hyatt, which has entered a new chapter as the flagship property in Alua Hotels & Resorts portfolio and the brand’s first five-star resort.
Just a 30-minute drive north of Burgas Airport, Alua Sunny Beach Resort & Spa sits directly on the sands of Sunny Beach – a purpose-built resort town. Today, the country’s largest seaside destination lures visitors with its five-mile-long beach, lively promenade and family-friendly atmosphere. Just minutes away lies Unesco-listed Nessebar, a 3,000-year-old peninsula where cobbled streets wind through layers of Thracian, Greek and Byzantine history.
Rooms at the resort are decorated in warm sand and gold tones, many opening onto private balconies with sea views. Families are well catered for, thanks to the Astro Family Kids Club (for children aged four to 12), Astro Family Teens Club (for 13 to 17-year-olds), five outdoor swimming pools, including a children’s splash pool with slides, and a packed programme of activities, from aqua aerobics to beach volleyball. Meanwhile, parents can slip into the spa for a massage, unwind in the hot tub or simply embrace the slower pace of life that defines Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast.
Being all-inclusive, dining is similarly varied at Alua Sunny Beach. Terra offers an international buffet for breakfast and dinner, while Jojo introduces Japanese flavours and Emona celebrates traditional Bulgarian cuisine. For fresh seafood, Seaside Grill pairs local ingredients with uninterrupted sea views, while six bars – from relaxed poolside spots to the Jumper Sports Bar – keep cocktails and evening entertainment flowing long after sunset. From its prime beachfront setting to its effortless all-inclusive experience and easy access to Bulgaria’s most fascinating historic towns, Alua Sunny Beach brings together beach, adventure and family-friendly luxury for one relaxing holiday.
Golden sands may be Sunny Beach’s biggest draw, but there’s plenty for clients to discover beyond the shoreline.
