Albena is a small Bulgarian town that has long been developing as a resort. It was decided to make it a resort half a century ago, when the economy in Bulgaria was a planned socialist one. The entire resort was built according to one common project, and the economic realities of those years were also taken into account..
The beaches of Albena stretch for a distance of about five kilometers. And throughout this distance, the beach is a wide strip of surprisingly soft and clean sand, which goes smoothly under the warm sea water with a barely noticeable difference in depth. In this place of the Black Sea, the bottom topography is rather flat, so the water warms up very quickly to 24-26 degrees. All the beaches of the city are absolutely free, but the municipal authorities still give a lot of money and effort to keep them clean and tidy.
In the 90s, all state property in Bulgaria was privatized, the same applies to the tourist complex of Albena. Moreover, which is quite surprising for those times, it was done in a surprisingly civilized manner. Anyone could buy a hotel at a public auction if there was enough money for it.
Nowadays, there are about 40 hotels in Albena with a star rating from 2 to 4, and many of them have undergone a serious reconstruction and now provide their guests with top-class service. Here you can find all the entertainment that should be in the resort: bars, restaurants, discos, casinos.
Bulgarian resorts in general, as well as Albena itself in particular, are a great place for children to relax (again, thanks to the socialist past). There are many attractions for children (for example, video games in the bowling alley, mini trains, kids club, boats, children’s discos, archery range, mini railway, mini golf, water karting, water slide, shooting range, skateboard school , regular karting). Yes, and a gentle descent into the water will add a sense of security to your kids and peace of mind to you.
There is also a special equestrian school in Albena, where there are adult and children’s training courses. Daily horse rides are organized right there, and after you graduate from the riding school, you will receive the relevant documents confirming your skill..
Albena is one of the most environmentally friendly resorts in the world. The fact is that the Baltata Nature Reserve is located very close by, which is very carefully and meticulously guarded by the state. The airport is just an hour’s drive from Albena, and it’s also easy to get to Varna – only 30 kilometers.
The company TUI offers to buy Albena tours on the Ukrainian market, in Russia the tour operator Tez-tour is working in this direction.
