Albena Holidays

Economical Bulgaria beach resort
Albena has proved a long-standing favourite with British visitors looking for a cheap, straightforward Bulgaria beach holiday. Albena holidays are based in a well-maintained purpose-built resort on a fine bay on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, 7 miles north of Golden Sands and a convenient 25 miles from Varna airport. Cheap, mid-market accommodation, an excellent sandy beach and the relatively compact nature of the resort ensure Alpena holidays are equally popular with families with young children, couples and older holidaymakers.

Excellent long sandy beach
Albena holidays very much centre on Albena beach, a 4-mile stretch of wide, gently shelving, golden sand with a long beachfront promenade. Watersports fans will find Albena holidays offer a wide range of options, including windsurfing, sailing and paragliding. Most Albena holiday accommodation is close to Albena beach. Some of the newer hotels in Albena are found in the surrounding wooded hills. A useful mini-train links Albena hotels with the beach. Albena holiday nightlife is largely confined to the resort’s hotel bars and discos, though Albena holidays could include a visit to the casino with its live shows and cabaret. Most Albena hotels have their own lively bars and restaurants.

Cheap family holidays
Families on holiday in Albena will find plenty of affordable activities and entertainment for children that include a football school, bowling, tennis, a funfair, jeep safaris and the dolphinarium at Varna. No holiday in Albena should miss out on a trip to the equally popular Bulgaria beach resort of Golden Sands to the south. Albena holidays could also include excursions to the historic towns of Nessebar, Balchik, Rila and Sofia.
