Speaking about the offers on Sveti Vlas, it is impossible not to mention the marina of the Dinevi Resort, telling about the surroundings of Varna – the Port Palace apartment complex. Residential projects with the possibility of using a berth often become iconic for a particular resort.
In the south of the Black Sea coast – in Nessebar, Sozopol, Tsarevo and Akhtopol, it is planned to build new marinas and expand existing berths. According to Alexey Zhuravel, managing director of the real estate agency "R.K.", more than ten complexes with yacht parking lots are planned to be built on the Bulgarian coast in the coming years. "Some of the projects are already being implemented, others are under development, but if all of them are completed, then in a few years all the major sea resorts of the country will have their own parking lots for yachts," the expert predicts.
The reason for the attention of developers and buyers to marinas is the gradual growth of the status of Bulgarian resorts, which over time began to be chosen by more affluent vacationers, as well as interest in real estate in complexes including marinas. Buying an object in such a project is considered a win-win investment.
The usual functionality of the marina includes a water depth of at least 3 m near the pier, facilities for lifting and lowering the vessel, electricity, the availability of fresh water, the ability to refuel, continuous listening to the VHF channel, round-the-clock security. Naturally, there are restaurants, places to relax, beaches and shops nearby.
The real estate that is offered near the marinas is very diverse: these are apartments, penthouses in luxury apartment hotels, and individual villas. Despite the fact that such complexes are usually located near the water and offer high-quality housing, the cost of the objects reaches 500,000 euros.
Aheloy Bay
One of the completed projects with its own yacht marina is the Marina Cape apartment complex in the village of Akheloy, a 15-minute drive from Burgas Airport, a little south of Sunny Beach. This unique gated complex occupies about 4 hectares, consists of four parts – "Yacht Club", "Bay", "Tower" and "Lighthouse" – and includes 650 apartments.
