Map & location
Nessebar, Bourgas Area, Bulgaria
Sol Marina Palace enjoys a prime spot on Nessebar’s seafront in the newer part of town, with the UNESCO-protected Old Town framed perfectly in the distance. Step outside and you’re moments from a small beach and promenade, or wander a little further for the main public beach with plenty of space to stretch out on the sand.
History-lovers are spoiled: Nessebar Old Town sits on its own peninsula around 700m away, a maze of cobbled streets, wooden houses and Byzantine churches. When you’re ready to turn up the tempo, the nightlife and beach clubs of Sunny Beach are just a short taxi ride up the coast, giving you easy access to Bulgaria’s party capital while still retreating to a calmer adults-only base.
- Small beach and seafront promenade 50m
- Larger public beach 300m
- Nessebar resort centre (New Town) 500m
- Nessebar Old Town (UNESCO-listed) 700m
- Sunny Beach (by taxi) 4–5km

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s signature feature is its rooftop pool deck. High above the seafront, you’ll find:
– A **freshwater rooftop pool** with glass sides and built-in whirlpool area
– Three **sunbathing terraces** with loungers and parasols – one accessed directly by lift, and upper levels reached by steps
– **Pool towels** available against a refundable deposit
From here the views sweep across the bay, harbour and Old Town peninsula – a standout spot for sunrise dips or sunset swims.
Down at sea level, a small beach and promenade are around 50m away, while the wider public beach sits roughly 300m from the hotel with soft sand, beach bars and gentle waves perfect for a lazy day by the sea.
Please note that access to the upper terraces and pool involves steps, so it may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility.

Food & drink
Sol Marina Palace keeps everything easy with an All Inclusive set-up and dining that makes the most of those sea views.
The main buffet restaurant sits on the terrace, serving international and Bulgarian favourites for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with live show-cooking stations and self-service soft drinks at mealtimes.
For something a little more special, Vista Del Mar is the hotel’s à la carte option on the rooftop terrace, open for dinner between roughly mid-June and mid-September (subject to occupancy). Stays of 5 nights or more usually include one à la carte dinner per stay, by reservation and subject to availability.
Two bars keep you refreshed throughout the day:
– **All Inclusive Bar Marina** – snack bar offering light bites and local and international drinks, typically open from late morning until late evening (seasonal hours).
– **Sky Bar** – rooftop pool bar where you can pair cocktails with sunset views over Nessebar and the Black Sea.
A smart-casual dress code applies in the restaurants (no beachwear). Specific opening times, inclusions and brands can vary by season and board details.
