Sunny Beach holidays

Fly from Dublin to Bulgaria's Black Sea coast and enjoy a seaside holiday in Sunny Beach. This popular resort offers plenty of opportunities for swimming, relaxing, and trying out some exhilarating watersports. And it's just a 10-minute drive to one of the country's most important historic sites.

A purpose-built resort

Sunny Beach is a purpose-built resort, with sprawling beachfront accommodations, restaurants and bars, and everything you need to have a great holiday by the coast. The resort was built in the 1950s, and has grown massively with the introduction of modern amenities such as nightclubs, coffee shops, and theme parks. The high-rise waterfront area is ideal for anyone who likes a bit of luxury when they travel.

Great for kids

While Sunny Beach is the ideal spot for daytime relaxation and party nights, it’s also well-equipped for families travelling with young children. Within Sunny Beach, you’ll find Luna Park with 18 different rides and attractions. Then there's the Action Aquapark with more than 30 water rides. There’s another waterpark down by the neighbouring town of Nessebar, and a pirate ship docked at the Dinevi Marina.

Day-trips

It takes just 10 minutes to drive to the UNESCO-recognised historic site of Nessebar, located just south of Sunny Beach. And a 35-minute drive gets you to Burgas, a popular fishing port where you can enjoy super-fresh seafood. A 90-minute drive north will take you to Varna, which is the largest city on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast. Varna offers a large zoo, old Roman baths, and museums.
