Spend the day on the sand or exploring Lake Pomorie’s nature and mud baths, then head into the resort centre around 1.5km away for traditional taverns, sea-view bars and a wander through the old town’s wooden houses and monastery.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Water babies are spoilt for choice. Outside you’ll find two freshwater pools, both with separate children’s sections and generous sunbathing terraces furnished with loungers and parasols. Inflatables are permitted, which is always a win with younger guests.

One of the outdoor pools features slides for extra fun in the sun (opening dates can vary), while an indoor heated pool in the spa centre provides a calm retreat when you fancy a quieter swim or if the weather dips. Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit.

The sandy beach is just about 100m away, so you can mix lazy pool days with easy dips in the Black Sea. The hotel usually offers one umbrella and two sunbeds per room on the beach on a complimentary basis, subject to availability – ideal if you like to travel light.

Spa, sports & wellness


The compact spa offers a steam room, whirlpool, and a menu of paid-for massages and beauty treatments – perfect after a day exploring Pomorie or the nearby salt lakes. There’s also an on-site hairdresser for holiday spruce-ups (both spa and salon services are usually open May–October and carry an extra charge).

Active guests can make use of the air-conditioned gym, equipped with cardio machines, a free weights area and stretching space (typically open 10:00–18:00 for ages 13+). Lighter activities include aqua aerobics, darts, table tennis and volleyball, giving you plenty of gentle ways to stay moving between meals.

Around the resort you’ll also find a children’s playground with swings, slides and climbing frames, plus well-kept gardens that make the whole complex feel green and breezy rather than overly built up.

A BBQ snack station takes care of casual bites between meals in high season, while at other times snacks are usually served via the lobby bar. Three bars – including a pool bar and lobby bar – pour local and selected international drinks throughout the day and into the evening. Smart casual dress (no beachwear) is generally required in select bars and restaurants.
