Bourgas is a friendly seaside city and you won't be disappointed if you choose to book a hotel here. The beaches are big and clean and the annual calendar is packed with lively, fun-filled events, especially during the hot summer months when most visitors arrive. 

If you want a dose of sun, sea, sand and family adventures - at a bargain price - Sunny Beach Resort should be considered. While youngsters can be occupied easily during the day, the resort does shake its collective tail feather every evening as neon-lit nightclubs lure in party goers with cheap drinks and plenty of tunes.

The age-old and serene streets of Nessbar are the perfect antidote to the highly strung antics of Sunny Beach, and you can find excellent hotels here. 

Other seaside resorts include Sveti Vlas, Sozopol, Elenite and Pomorie. All offer much the same in the way of pristine pale sands, attractive hotels and terrific bars and restaurants where low-key evenings are spent under the stars. 

You can find every kind of hotel in this part of Bulgaria, from clean and basic budget hotels to luxury hotels. Compare deals on TravelSupermarket after you've booked your cheap flight to Bourgas.
