St Vlas holidays

Stylish St Vlas is the calmer neighbour of upbeat Sunny Beach, and things here tick along at a much more relaxed pace. Looks-wise, lush mountain scenes sit side by side yacht-filled marinas and chic beach bars, so you’re in for a seriously scenic stay. Throw in a casino and cocktail bars, and you’ve got the high life all lined up.

Blissful days

The trio of sandy beaches here are simply lovely. Find yourself one of those rattan parasols and pitch up for some sand, sea and snoozing. If you’re feeling flush, you can even hire a four-poster bed for the day. There’s a bunch of water sports to try if that’s your cup of tea, but people-watching is the main event around here.

Sparkling nights

How do yachts, casinos and cocktails sound? Get your glad rags on for dinner and drinks around the marina, and you’ll have the world on a plate when it comes to cuisine. There’s everything from classic Bulgarian to seafood, steak and Italian on the menu, plus most places make the most of the view with a sea-facing terrace. Then, either hit the casino or pop along to the amphitheatre for an open-air show or live music.
