It is easy to find accommodation in luxury hotels located just in front of the sea, but it is recommended to book them in advance, as there is a shortage of spare rooms in the peak season, which is in July and August. However, the first tourists come here from the end of May and the tourist season continues till October. This means finding cheap accommodation near the beach is key and getting in early is also a good tip.

Families with children and young couples will have a lot of fun in the attractive Aqua Parks located in Sunny Beach and Golden Sands.
