Overview

 
Perched on the edge of Sozopol’s pretty marina, Blu Bay Hotel Sozopol blends boutique design with widescreen Black Sea views. Think rooftop infinity pool, sleek wood-and-glass interiors and a Spanish-inspired restaurant – all moments from the cobbled streets and traditional taverns of the Old Town. With just 45 rooms and apartments, it feels intimate and tailored, making it an exceptional base for couples and discerning travellers exploring Bulgaria’s quieter, characterful coast.

From the rooftop infinity pool you can watch yachts drift into Sozopol’s harbour as the sun sinks into the Black Sea. Below, polished wooden decks, glass balustrades and statement lighting set the tone for a stay that’s more chic city-boutique than big beach resort – just with the bonus of a seafront setting and a historic Old Town on your doorstep. For couples seeking Bulgaria’s coastal charm with a grown-up, design-led twist, Blu Bay Hotel Sozopol delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 1 hour 20 minutes from Bourgas (BOJ) airport.

Map & location


Sozopol, Bourgas Area, Bulgaria

Blu Bay Hotel Sozopol sits right on the edge of the marina in Sozopol Old Town, one of Bulgaria’s oldest and most atmospheric settlements. Step outside and you’re among cobbled lanes, wooden townhouses and tiny churches, with a choice of traditional taverns and contemporary bars lining the seafront.

Sozopol is popular with Bulgarians precisely because it feels authentic and relaxed compared to larger resorts like Sunny Beach. You get character and culture, plus easy access to two sandy beaches – Central Beach to one side and smaller coves dotted around the Old Town headland.

  • Sozopol Old Town on the doorstep
  • Sozopol Central Beach 250m
  • New Town / Harmanite area within easy walking distance
  • Bourgas city 35km
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 20 minutes (from BOJ)

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Head to the rooftop for the hotel’s showpiece: an outdoor saltwater infinity pool with panoramic views over the marina and the Black Sea. A compact sunbathing deck lines the pool, with sunbeds, parasols and complimentary towels provided – it’s a serene spot for a morning swim or sunset cocktail.

Sozopol Central Beach is just a short stroll (around 250m) away, offering a gently shelving stretch of sand, beach bars and calm waters ideal for swimming. Further along the peninsula and into the New Town, you’ll find more bays and coves to explore if you fancy a change of scene.

Spa, sports & wellness


Wellness takes centre stage at Blu Bay Hotel Sozopol. The small spa features a sauna, steam room and a menu of massage and beauty treatments, along with an on-site hairdresser – perfect if you’re here for a celebration or simply want to unwind after a day exploring the Old Town. Spa facilities are generally available for guests aged 16+ and operate seasonally, with local charges for treatments.

There’s also an air-conditioned gym with cardio machines, free weights and fixed strength equipment, usually open during the main summer months. Around the hotel you’ll find a contemporary lobby, concierge desk and relaxed indoor-outdoor seating spaces that make the most of the marina backdrop.

Food & drink

Boca Grande is the hotel’s stylish à la carte restaurant, pairing Black Sea views with a menu of Spanish and international favourites. Expect beautifully presented dishes, a good selection of fresh seafood and show-cooking at dinner. It’s open for breakfast, lunch and dinner during the main season, and highchairs are available for little ones.

For something more laid-back, Soho Bar provides a lounge-style setting for coffee, aperitifs and nightcaps between morning and late evening on seasonal dates. Outside of bar opening dates, drinks can be ordered from the restaurant, so you’re never far from a glass of chilled Bulgarian wine.

A smart dress code may apply; the hotel usually asks that beachwear isn’t worn at dinner. Reservations, opening hours and inclusions may change by season, so we recommend checking details on arrival.
