Best All Inclusive Resorts in Bulgaria for Summer 2025

Looking for the perfect all-inclusive resort in Bulgaria for your summer 2025 vacation? Trust me, you’re in the right place. I’ve been traveling to Bulgaria with my family for years, and we’ve stayed in everything from budget-friendly havens to luxurious resorts that make you feel like royalty.

Consider this your insider guide – not just a list, but a complete overview of Bulgaria’s best All Inclusive offers based on personal experience, extensive research, and common sense.

But first, let’s address the elephant on the beach: Why Bulgaria? If you’ve looked at option in Europe for your next holiday, you’ve likely noticed that prices have skyrocketed everywhere. Bulgaria, however, remains one of Europe’s best-kept secrets – a place where you can get luxury on a budget, incredible food, and everything you need for a truly amazing holiday.

With these in mind, let’s check out the absolute best all inclusive resorts and hotels in Bulgaria for 2025!

If you don’t want to go through all my recommendations (although you should), I think that the best All-Inclusive Resort in Bulgaria is Voya Beach Resort, closely followed by Wave Resort (offering Ultra All-Inclusive).

Now let’s get a bit more in depth and see which are the best all inclusive resorts in Bulgaria, depending on their location on the Black Sea coast.

Best All Inclusive Hotels & Resorts in Sunny Beach

We’ll start with Sunny Beach, which is the most popular destination in Bulgaria – especially for the younger, more party-oriented crowd. Despite this, we found plenty as a family, so there are options for all styles of travel.

1. Voya Beach Resort – Editor’s Choice

This is my top choice for 2025 – it is simply out of this world in terms of the quality of the services, the location, the food… everything. And, after years of missing one important thing – a private beach – it finally has one to offer a complete experience to all travelers!

Located right in front of the sea, it offers spectacular sea views from its rooms, so getting a sea view room is a must! Voya Beach Resort also offers a large outdoor pool (and an indoor one), various water slides, and a pool/play area for younger children.

Everything here is superlative, from the clean rooms to the friendly staff and amazing atmosphere overall. Plus, I think that the food at Voya is the best you will taste in Bulgaria. There are other resorts that offer high quality, amazing food, but none compares to Voya Beach Resort which follows the UAI concept this year.

NOTE: While I listed it in the “Sunny Beach” category, it’s actually just outside of Sunny Beach in the Sveti Vlas town (which is a few minutes drive away from Sunny Beach). Still worth it, 100%.

2. DIT Majestic Beach Resort

A massive resort that is starting to show its age a little bit, DIT Majestic Beach remains one of the top choices in Sunny Beach and Bulgaria in general. Although it’s rated at “just” 4 stars, I’ve had a 5-star and above experience here.

Make sure to get a sea-view room for the best experience. You’ll also have a view of the pool area, and it’s truly spectacular. All rooms are large and in good shape, although all those shades of brown and orange they use make it look a bit dated. At least they are soundproofed, so you will get a good night’s sleep!

It has three large pools (two for adults, one for children) and an amazing garden area that offers stunning sea views. Delicious food is aplenty, served at three restaurants, plus various other eating areas and bars scattered around the resort.

You can burn off some of those extra kilos you’ll surely gain by getting some exercise done at the resort’s gym, or go for some team sports at one of the 2 tennis courts and 2 football/basketball arenas.

Or just enjoy and relax at the hotel’s spa area, where you can get Asian massages, a Cleopatra bath, a Turkish bath and much more. Really, the options are endless and everything here is of the highest possible quality.

3. Secrets Sunny Beach Resort and Spa – Adults Only

A proper 5-star All-inclusive experience that you won’t forget, especially since the resort is embracing the “adults only” concept, making it perfect for those who want to relax with zero screaming children around.

It has a large pool next to the sea and a private beach also. Due to its premium location, you get spectacular views from everywhere: your room (all have breathtaking sea views), the pool area, the restaurants… it’s gorgeous!

The quality of services offered here is also amazing. The staff is always smiling, speaking good English and always willing to help.

The entire place is sparkling clean and the food is amazing. Although there is just one main restaurant in this resort, the food is delicious and varied. I particularly liked the desserts here as they are creative and not too sweet like in many AI hotels.

The rooms have been renovated recently, so you know you’re in for a treat. Everything feels brand new, fresh and nice. All in all, this is a highly recommended place that I am sure you will love.

4. DIT Evrika Beach Club Hotel

We visited this hotel back in 2019, but based on all my research, it remains today just as amazing as it was when we visited.

Located next to the beach, Evrika Beach Club offers spectacular sea views from some rooms – I recommend getting one, as nothing is more relaxing than watching the Black Sea from your balcony.

For a 4-star hotel, I found the rooms to be large, beautiful, and extremely clean as you can see below:

evrika beach hotel room

What I liked the most was the restaurant and overall the food at the resort. Absolutely no complaints here – we had one of the best culinary experiences while staying at Evrika.

The resort is a good choice for thrill seekers and kids in particular. It has its mini-aquapark with several slides, but also a dedicated area for younger children, with some slides and other attractions.

It was very difficult to keep our son away from these – but we all loved it, that’s the truth!

You can also opt for the Premium service here (that’s what we went for) for additional perks, more options to feast and an improved room.

5. Melia Sunny Beach

A humongous all inclusive resort, Melia Sunny Beach is rated at 4-stars but it would easily fit in the 5-star category, in my opinion.

The food is varied and of high quality, especially thanks to the Indian restaurant on-site which offers a welcome break from your regular buffet food at All-Inclusive resorts.

My son claimed that he had the best food at Melia (although I believe it was just him getting older and truly appreciating it). But, yes, no complaints here!

The hotel has a few swimming pools (that are usually pretty crowded), as well as a slide, but it also offers a private beach with a beach bar on the premises, so you have plenty of options for spending your time

6. Dreams Sunny Beach Resort and Spa – Premium All Inclusive

This five-star gem in Sunny Beach delivers the kind of experience that makes you wonder why you’d ever settle for less. It’s massive, well maintained and impressive.

From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us like royalty. They paid special attention to my son too, always chatting with him and making him feel welcome. It was instantly clear that the service here is top-notch.

The rooms are also spacious and clean, with super-comfortable beds. And the bathroom? Modern, spotless, and stocked with premium toiletries, unlike what is usually offered at Bulgarian hotels.

If you’re booking, go for a sea-view room with a balcony. Waking up to the sight of the Black Sea sparkling in the morning light was something I’ll never forget.

The resort also has an aqua park that’s equal parts fun and impressive. Water slides, splash zones, and pools that cater to both adrenaline junkies and loungers like me. Add in the private beach area, and you have an unbeatable combination.

Note: Similar to Voya Beach Resort, this hotel is located a bit outside of Sunny Beach itself, closer to Svett Vlas.

7. HVD Club Bor – 24 Hours Ultra All Inclusive

If you’re looking for a more somber and stylish approach, HVD Club Bor is a great choice for your All Inclusive stay in Sunny Beach.

Keep in mind that this hotel doesn’t have a private beach (so you’d have to pay extra for loungers), and it’s not near the sea either – so no sea views from here. These are two main inconveniences, but it’s still on this list because it makes up for these two important factors by offering amazing rooms, service and food instead.

hvd club bor room

The rooms are of a decent size and generally quiet, but the views are not the most amazing (if you are like me and consider sea views amazing). However, they’re great for rest and relaxation.

And for putting on extra pounds. Not the rooms, but the place itself as the food at HVD Club is aplenty and delicious – especially the sweets which I always promised to eat fewer of, but simply couldn’t. Just look at the photo below and you will understand why:

hvd club bor sweets

If you prefer a more intimate experience and a slightly smaller resort – and you don’t mind not being right on the beach, then this resort is a good choice!

7. Aqua Nevis Hotel & Aqua Park

While this hotel is similar to the one recommended above since it has no private beach and no sea views, it does have a lot more to offer in terms of entertainment for thrill seekers thanks to its impressive aqua park.

If you are all about spending the entire day at the pool, enjoying all the amazing slides and water-related entertainment, then this is the perfect choice for you. It has tons of slides and a huge area is covered by pools. Just look at the photo below to see what I mean!

aqua nevis hotel waterpark

It has a dedicated area for kids, but also a minigolf course and a wellness and spa center. Also a gym, but I can’t say anything about that since, well… I haven’t checked it out. Ahem.

The rooms are a bit on the smaller side – probably the only reason why this is rated as a four-star hotel, but they’re not tiny by any means.

aqua nevis hotel room

The food is also diverse and decent to say the least. You will always find something to eat there, even if it can get a bit repetitive after a while. But in our case, it’s still more diverse than what we normally have at home, so no real complaints here.

Do keep in mind that especially during the peak season, it gets crowded and noisy so I would suggest trying to get a room not facing the slides.

Golden Sands: Best All Inclusive Hotels & Resorts

We’re now moving to the second most popular beach resort in Bulgaria. This one mixes nightlife with aquaparks and a more family-oriented approach, so you get the best of both worlds.

Let’s see which are the best choices of all inclusive resorts in Golden Sands, Bulgaria!

1. Melia Grand Hermitage – The Level Experience

This was the first 5-star all-inclusive resort that I ever visited in Bulgaria and I was extremely satisfied with the overall experience. Premium quality everywhere and my entire family was happy there.

The resort is close to the beach, offering some nice sea views from all the rooms (I recommend getting the ones that get a full, not a partial view).

It’s up on a hill, so you still have to walk a few minutes to the beach itself. But at least the views you get from the rooms are mind-blowing.

Or you can simply enjoy one of the many pools in front of the hotel. There’s also a mini-aquapark with a few slides that you can try out if you need some adrenaline.

melia grand hermitage room

I recommend booking The Level experience, which gives you plenty of extras – a better room, access to a dedicated, The Level Restaurant (less crowded and slightly more options), a heated outdoor pool, and a few extra bars and goodies. It’s a bit more expensive, but a must in my opinion.

It was one of the very few places where you could get premium drinks, for example, without having to pay extra (or bribe the people working there). I was truly impressed!

We visited again last year and I have to admit that the quality dropped a little bit, while the prices increased, but overall, Melia Grand Hermitage remains an amazing choice for an All-Inclusive stay in Golden Sands, Bulgaria.

2. Grifid Encanto Beach Hotel

If you’re looking for a more active type of holiday – as well as 5-star services from a 4-star resort – then Grifid Encanto Beach is the place you’re looking for.

There are some amazing concepts here especially if you’re into a more “get fit, not fat” type of mentality.

Featuring a beautiful infinity pool (a bit small, but still nice), but also some amazing sea views – including a great gym area with amazing views over the Black Sea, Grifid Encanto offers all sorts of wellness and staying fit options while you’re there, with detox & weight loss, relax packages and so on.

Or just go for the DIY type and enjoy the healthy food (still delicious and with less healthy options available) type of holiday. There’s a bit of everything for everybody here.

The best part is, in my opinion, the Concept room/vacation area. This is a bit more expensive, but it’s worth every extra penny, as you get additional goodies including a private rooftop sundeck, better-looking rooms and more, similarly to Melia’s The Level experience.

You also get free access to the nearby Grifid hotel’s aquapark, while the private beach awaits just a stone throw’s away from the hotel.

3. Sentido Marea Hotel – 24 hours Ultra All inclusive

With 24-hour Ultra All-Inclusive perks, a private beach, and pools for every age, it’s perfect for families, couples, and single travelers too.

Even though it’s smaller than some of the resorts on this list, it’s modern and good-looking and offers everything you need. Plus great discounts if you book your stay early!

Sentido Marea Hotel room

This is truly 24-hour all-inclusive, unlike most hotels. Start your day with breakfast smoothies, grab a late-night snack, or enjoy the themed buffet dinners that keep things special. The à la carte Bulgarian restaurant is a must, offering delicious local flavors served with a modern twist. Four bars keep the drinks flowing too.

Golden Sands has plenty of good options, but Sentido Marea stands out for its attention to detail and unbeatable value and that smaller, cozier vibe that it offers without cutting back on quality.

Best All Inclusive Hotels in Albena

Albena is the most family-oriented resort in Bulgaria. If you want to go and enjoy the silence more than anything (and don’t care about the nightlife), then Albena is a perfect choice. So let’s check out the best All-Inclusive hotels here.

1. MARITIM Hotel Amelia – Luxury Ultra All Inclusive

MARITIM Hotel Amelia combines five-star luxury with a unique theme that pays tribute to aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart, making this the first themed hotel in the area. From the moment you step inside, the sleek decor and design inject the spirit of adventure.

The rooms are huge, impeccably clean, and beautifully designed to reflect the aviation theme. Big beds with high-quality linens, similarly spacious balconies, and elegant bathrooms ensure that every guest feels pampered.

Eating here is a treat. The buffet restaurant serves fresh, locally sourced food with plenty of options for all tastes. While the menu can feel repetitive during a longer stay, the variety and freshness of fruits, salads, and main courses still offer plenty of tasty options.

While service and entertainment have room for improvement – some staff lack experience and don’t speak English, while the activities are minimal – the overall experience is great and the entire family will leave this place feeling happy.

2. Kaliakra Beach Hotel – Ultra All Inclusive

This was our first All-inclusive hotel in Bulgaria, and I absolutely loved it here! It’s a four-star hotel with smaller rooms, but plenty of personality. And it’s right on the beach with the sea view rooms offering some of the best sea views in Bulgaria. Really few hotels can compete with this one!

You get ultra all-inclusive service here and the food is amazing. Even though rated at 4 stars (probably due to the size of the rooms which are a bit small), the food is 5-star grade. It’s usually locally grown and sometimes organic.

Plus, lots of options, and each evening you have a different theme – traditional, Italian food, Mexican, Mediterranean, and so on.

The hotel has an outdoor pool, including one for kids – but with such an amazing beach seconds away, you won’t spend too much time at the pool. We certainly didn’t. Overall, it’s budget-friendly, family-friendly, and great. Highly recommended.

Other great All Inclusive Hotels on Bulgaria’s Coast

There’s a lot more seaside in Bulgaria than the three top destinations mentioned above. You will be surprised to find some pretty amazing options if you look around a bit.

And I did the looking for you. Check them out – I am sure you won’t be disappointed – on the contrary!

1. Wave Resort – Ultra All Inclusive (in Pomorie)

One of the best All-Inclusive resorts in Bulgaria, Wave Resort is a solid choice for everybody (and one of the few Bulgarian resorts that kind of matches in quality the best hotels in Lara, Turkey).

It’s the kind of place where kids run straight to the water park, parents actually get to relax, and everyone ends the day happy (and probably full from the buffet).

Amazing sea-view from the room.

The pools are the main attraction here. There’s an infinity pool, a semi-Olympic pool, and even a water park just for the kids. The little ones loved the splash pad and mini slides, while I appreciated the quieter adults-only pool for some much-needed peace.

The beach? It’s there, but honestly, the pools steal the show, so don’t expect much sand time.

2. Lighthouse Golf & Spa Hotel (in Balchik)

If you’re looking for a 5-star, luxurious place to spend a high-class summer holiday, then you should choose this resort, even though it’s a bit away from the beaten path.

As the name suggests, one of its main attractions is the golf course it’s part of (created by pro golfer Ian Woosnam). If golfing is not your thing, then maybe they can lure you in with one of their special rooms that come with their own, private pool!

If that’s not enough, you have an amazing spa area stretching over 900 square meters (close to 10,000 square feet), a beautiful outdoor pool and free access to the nearby private beach (which has to be booked at the reception in advance – but it’s free).

The beach itself is not the most amazing you will see in Bulgaria, being pretty narrow and close to a cliff… but the water is still nice and everything else is top class.

There are several restaurants on the premises, serving amazing food, the rooms are large and clean and comfortable… everything is there to keep you and your loved one happy.

3. Duni Marina Royal Palace Hotel (in Duni)

If you’re planning a holiday that feels like a mix of beachside luxury and non-stop activities, Duni Marina Royal Palace near Sozopol delivers exactly that.

There’s even a dedicated aqua park for kids (and the young at heart). The private beach is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of sun loungers available. As you can see below, one of the main pools is right on the beach!

Duni Marina Royal Palace Hotel view from above
Just look at those massive pools!

The rooms here are spacious, clean, and comfortable, especially if you book one with a sea view.

With a buffet that covers everything from fresh salads to hearty local dishes, meals here are satisfying, though not groundbreaking. For variety, try the on-site Italian and Bulgarian a la carte restaurants. One tip: Don’t skip the desserts at the buffet – they’re surprisingly good!

4. Astor Garden Hotel (in St. Constantine & Helena)

Situated close to Varna (which has an international airport), in the underrated resort town of St. Constantine & Helena, Astor Garden Hotel is a 5-star All Inclusive Hotel located right on the beach, in a pretty unique area.

It has three decently sized outdoor pools (plus a few smaller ones), as well as a private beach area just minutes away from the hotel. There’s also a smaller indoor pool available, as well as a sauna and other spa & wellness facilities.

It looks like the entire place was recently renovated, but I couldn’t find any info on this. But this does mean that the place looks new, is sparkling clean and everything around is new and in a perfect condition.

The rooms are spacious and decorated with good taste, but make sure to select one with a sea view to get the most out of them. The pool view rooms are the loudest, while the park view one offer more silence (but no sea views).

There are two restaurants here – one of them being an a la carte – and the food is varied and delicious, obviously of high quality. There are also 4 bars around the premise, including a beach bar and a pool bar.

All in all, this is a really good AI resort in Bulgaria, and since it’s in a less popular city, it can be considered a kind of a hidden gem. It does get crowded, though, but there is enough room for everyone!

5. HVD Reina del Mar (in Obzor)

For my final recommendation, we’re heading over to Obzor for a really impressive concept for an all-inclusive resort. It’s a real treat if you made it this far – although it’s definitely not the most budget-friendly all-inclusive hotel in Bulgaria.

Divided into smaller villas that stretch along three pools (one of which is heated – a rarity in Bulgaria, even for 5-star resorts), this is a relatively recently built resort with everything in pristine shape.

hvd reina del mar

The rooms are huge here and very modern, and even though most of them only have a partial sea-view, it’s still worth booking your stay here. High quality everywhere, from the restaurants to the rooms themselves.

The kids will really appreciate it as well thanks to the high quality playground area and all the activities for them. All in all, a great luxurious stay that will make you very happy!

Why choose an All Inclusive resort in Bulgaria?

In my opinion, going for an All Inclusive resort is a perfect option for families traveling with children. Actually, all All Inclusive hotels in Bulgaria are specifically tailored for families with children.

Kids are pretty picky eaters and I can say from my own experience that it can’t get any better than in an AI resort. There, they can easily see the food that they’re about to eat and they can safely and easily choose their favorite.

This way, you don’t run the risk of ordering something at a restaurant and them refusing to eat. And even if they do, there are plenty of other options available.

Plus, their kids club will keep the little ones busy and happy, helping them make new friends and have fun while you relax. All in maximum security!

All inclusive stays in Bulgaria have two other great advantages: they are cheap, yet offer a lot for the money and they also help you budget your holiday easily.

Because once you are there, you will not have to spend a single dollar extra, as everything is already covered. This way, you can just go there and relax, not having to worry about sticking to a budget or unexpected expenses.

Nothing beats and all inclusive stay, especially when we’re talking about soaking in the sun and relaxing all day at the beach or by the pool.

Wrapping up

As you can see, you have plenty of options when it comes to all inclusive stays near the Bulgarian seaside and I am sure that the resorts that I have recommended above can be considered the absolute best in the country.

So choose the one you like the most – mainly based on the town you want to be in – and rest assured that your holiday will be safe and extremely enjoyable!

And don’t forget to share with us all what your choices are and, when you return, how satisfied you were with your pick.
