Festa Via Pontica Resort

Overview

Festa Via Pontica Resort is bang on for a laid-back getaway by the sea, giving off those warm and welcoming vibes straight from the moment you walk in. Top-tier for couples and families, this spot blends modern creature comforts with plenty of space to chill. Think roomy digs, lush pool scenes, a flash spa sesh, and loads of activities to keep everyone buzzing, just a pebble’s drop from the Black Sea shore.

Location

Set just 50 metres from those shimmering waves, with all the local shops and buzzing nightlife only 500 metres up the road, boredom doesn’t stand a chance here. Fancy a bite that’s not the usual? Loads of restaurants are dotted nearby, so you can switch it up whenever the mood strikes. Pomorie’s centre is just 3 kilometres away, packed with cafes, shops, and cool spots to check out, while quick links like bus and train connections (150 metres away) make drifting off for a day sesh a doddle. Bourgas Airport is a short whopper of a trip at 8.4 kilometres, and Varna Airport is still pretty doable at 116 kilometres. If you’re after proper holiday antics, Sunny Beach — the A-list Black Sea resort — is a quick 15-kilometre jaunt away.

Rooms

Spread across 269 rooms, there’s loads of choice, from Standard Doubles to whopper Family Suites, plus flash Superior Doubles for those who want something a bit posh. Every room comes with centrally controlled air con and heating, meaning you’re sorted whatever the weather, and extra beds or cots are up for grabs if you’ve got the whole crew in tow. With a top-notch mix of Bulgarian charm and slick modern touches, comfort’s sorted whether you’re prepping for a jumbo beach day or a mega chill-out night. Ten rooms are disability-friendly too, so accessibility’s spot on.

Food & Drink

Chow time is a proper scrum at the buffet restaurant, serving up breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while Babitsa BBQ takes care of those barbecue cravings. If you’re veggie or need gluten-free, you’re sorted — loads of dietary options on offer. Drinks sesh? Pick from five bars, including two lobby bars for lounging, a poolside spot for your Fanta Lemon fix, a Fresh bar, and a Wine Bar in the museum — cracking for anyone wanting to get stuck into local wine traditions. Buffet or à la carte, there’s always something tasty on the go.

Sports & Entertainment

Dive into two outdoor pools for a splash, flop out on the sun loungers, or hit up the heated indoor pool when you want something a bit fancy. The gym’s prepped for a proper workout sesh, and if you’re game for some fun, there’s table tennis, volleyball, darts, and a game room for the ultimate showdown. Kiddos get their own playground and a kids’ club that’s buzzing with action, while animation programmes keep families entertained all day. The spa area goes all-out with a sauna, steam bath, Turkish bath, hot tub, and luxe massages, ideal for those feeling a bit posh. Want something unique? Healing mud and Pomorie lye therapies are on offer at the Medical Center, plus there’s a beauty and hair salon to get you looking flash. Water sports nuts will be loving the options here: waterskiing, jet skiing, windsurfing, and pedal boats. Chill out further in the TV lounge or catch a show in the theatre/auditorium.
