A recent report details the pricing and availability of holiday apartments in Bulgaria. The report shows that Bulgaria offers excellent deals when it comes to beach holidays, something of importance during turbulent economic times. The report is based on over 700 holiday apartments in Bulgaria’s ski and beach destinations. The data are drawn from the top three rental websites for holiday rentals in Bulgaria. It covers multiple destinations, with special focus on Sunny Beach.

Sunny Beach is the top destination on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast. It is by far the largest beach resort in Bulgaria and, in fact, it ranks ahead of any other beach destination in South East Europe in terms of the number of tourists per year. Following the construction boom of the last few years, Sunny Beach offers hundreds of private holiday apartments available for rent directly from the owners. Once dominated by a few large hotels, the holiday market in Bulgaria offers an increasing number of private holiday rentals. Below are some of the findings about Sunny Beach:

1)      The Sunny Beach apartments account for 39 percent of all beach apartments available for rent in Bulgaria. This is slightly ahead of St. Vlas with 34 percent and well ahead of the third highest destination Varna with 10 percent.

2)      Rental prices in Sunny Beach are slightly lower than those in the next biggest Bulgarian beach resort Golden Sands and slightly higher than in St. Vlas. The difference, however, is negligible.

3)      Close to half of the apartments available for rent are one bedroom apartments: 48 percent. The next biggest categories are two bedroom apartments with 35 percent and studios with 13 percent. 

4)      One bedroom apartments in Sunny Beach rent out for about 314 euro per week in the high season and for about 256 euro per week in the middle season.

5)      The rental prices on two bedroom apartments range from 415 euro per week during the high season to 335 euro during the middle season.

6)      Studios rent out for about 259 euro in the high season and for about 219 euro per week in the middle season.

7)      There is much variation in prices. For example, the rental prices on two bedroom apartments in Sunny Beach range from 325 to 505 euro per week in the high season.

Holiday home owners should consult the report when deciding how to market their holiday apartments. Tourists should also consult the report to plan their holiday in Bulgaria or to compare prices with other beach destinations. The full report is available at villas and hotels in Bulgaria.
