Map & location
St Vlas, Bourgas Area, Bulgaria
Tucked between the fashionable marina of St Vlas and buzzing Sunny Beach, Dreams Sunny Beach Resort & Spa enjoys a prime beachfront position on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast. You’re close enough to dip into the bars, restaurants and nightlife of both resorts, yet far enough away to keep things relaxed around the hotel.
St Vlas itself is all about stylish seafront promenades, rattan parasols and chic beach bars, with wooded hills as a scenic backdrop. Sunny Beach, just down the coast, delivers classic holiday fun with watersports, arcades and plenty of family-friendly entertainment.
