Map & location
Nessebar, Bourgas Area, Bulgaria
Sol Nessebar Palace sits in a peaceful, green pocket just south of Nessebar town, on Bulgaria’s sun-soaked Black Sea coast. The hotel crowns tiered gardens that lead down towards a sandy stretch of shoreline, with complimentary loungers and parasols in summer.
Within a couple of kilometres you have the best of both worlds: the UNESCO-listed cobbled lanes and frescoed churches of Nessebar Old Town in one direction, and the larger resort buzz of Sunny Beach in the other. Local shops, bars and cafés are an easy stroll away, while boat taxis from the nearby pier add a fun way to hop across the bay.

- shops, bars & restaurants ~600m
- Nessebar resort centre ~1.9km
- Nessebar Old Town (UNESCO) ~2.8km

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Water babies are spoilt here. Outside you have two freshwater pools including a generous main pool with children’s section, plus a dedicated children’s pool by the waterpark. Sunbathing terraces are dotted with loungers and parasols, and pool towels are available for a refundable deposit.
The on-site aqua park (typically mid-May–end September, weather permitting) adds slides, a rocky river ride and inflatable ring chutes, while the splash park has fountains, sprayers and shallow play features that younger kids love. Age, height or weight limits may apply on certain slides.
When you’re ready for the sea, follow the path through the gardens to the sandy beach – around 50m away – where between June and September two loungers and a parasol per room are included, subject to availability. Motorised and non-motorised watersports, scuba diving and windsurfing are available locally via external providers.
Spa, sports & wellness
The “Relax Centre Rose” spa is your go-to for switching off, with a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a menu of massages and beauty treatments (16+, extra charges). There’s also an indoor heated pool with whirlpool open during the main season, handy if the weather turns.
Active guests can make use of the air-conditioned gym (minimum age 16), table tennis, darts, football, volleyball, petanque, short tennis and yoga, plus an on-site bowling alley (seasonal, charges apply). Organised activities span aqua aerobics, dance classes and family games.
