Sveti Vlas is a modern seaside resort in Bulgaria, considered by many travelers to be a fairly quiet place where you can spend your vacation in a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. The town is known for long beaches, small bays, and mountains.

- Marina Dinevi area — close to the marina, with an elegant vibe, promenade walks, and plenty of dining options.
- Central beach area — convenient for families, with quick access to the sea and tourist services nearby.
- Tsar Simeon area — practical for shopping, stores, and services; great for evening strolls.
- Hillside area (towards the mountains) — quieter, with wide sea views and more privacy.

Sveti Vlas Guide
Local SIM — for mobile data, you can easily find prepaid SIMs (typically ~10–30 GB packs) at roughly ~10–25 BGN, depending on the offer and season.
Transfers / transport — the most convenient option is a private transfer or taxi from Burgas (BOJ) or Varna (VAR) airports. In season, public transport (buses/minibuses) runs frequently between resorts; taxis are popular for short rides.
Center, shopping streets, promenade — in the evening, easy walks along the promenade and restaurant streets are one of the resort’s simplest pleasures.
Beaches / tourist areas (overview)
- Sveti Vlas Central Beach — convenient and family-friendly, great for relaxing.
- Marina Dinevi Beach — a more “resort” feel, close to the marina and terraces.
- New Beach (north area) — good options for a more open beach day, depending on the season.
- Small bays — short, more intimate stretches between the main sections.
- Elenite (nearby) — a nice change of scenery for a “resort” beach day.
- Sunny Beach (nearby) — perfect if you want a long beach and lots of buzz.
In Sveti Vlas there are interesting sights; one of the most important is, of course, the Church of St. Athanasius the Great, built in the 19th century. The town also has two main streets — Tsar Simeon, with many shops, and Mak Street, known for magnificent sea views and numerous restaurants.
Sveti Vlas has an open-air amphitheater where performances are staged, various music programs are presented, and interesting shows take place. We also recommend visiting Marina Dinevi port; here you can catch a retro parade, a beauty contest, or a fashion show.
From Sveti Vlas, you can take a bus for an excursion to Nessebar or Sunny Beach, where you’ll find plenty of entertainment for every taste.
From local cuisine, we recommend trying soups called Ciorba — they can be made with chicken, veal, or vegetables. It’s also worth trying a traditional Bulgarian dish called Kavarma. It is oven-baked meat with spices.
Safety & health
- UMBAL Burgas — Burgas; a major regional medical center, useful for emergencies and more complex investigations.
- Private clinics in Sunny Beach — Sunny Beach; good for quick consultations, minor issues, and seasonal tourist healthcare.
- Emergencies — in Bulgaria, the emergency number is 112.
Key highlights…
- Sea & activities — beaches for pure relaxation, promenade walks, plus boat time (especially around the marina).
- Prices / budget — overall, Sveti Vlas can feel slightly more “premium” than the very busy nearby spots, but you’ll still find options for different budgets.
- Atmosphere / resort style — modern and calmer, great for couples and families, with the option to quickly “switch” to Sunny Beach fun.
- Food / wines — Bulgarian cuisine (soups, oven dishes, grill), fish and seafood in season; local wines pair nicely with a seaside dinner.
