Where to stay
Golf hotels in Black Sea
Where to stay
Golf resort or beach hotel?
The three golf resorts put you on the course: the Boutique Hotel at BlackSeaRama, Lighthouse Golf & Spa Hotel and the residences at Thracian Cliffs. From any of them the other two courses are only a few minutes away by car, so one base is enough for a week of golf.
For a beach holiday that mixes golfers and non-golfers, Meliá Grand Hermitage in Golden Sands is a five-star all-inclusive resort on the beach, about 30 km south of BlackSeaRama and closer to Varna Airport.
