The family-friendly Helios Spa hotel is excellently situated in the centre of Golden Sands, just a few steps away from the wonderful Blue Flag sandy beach and the warm waters of the Black Sea. On 33, 000 m2, it offers guests two outdoor pools and an indoor pool, including a free-form pool with slides – a favourite amongst the little ones, just as the large children's playground and the kids club. While the children are being entertained, guests can make use of a fantastic spa area of 2, 300 m2 to indulge in total relaxation. Culinary options include various restaurants with traditional Bulgarian cuisine and seafood; one of the restaurants is beautifully located between the pool area and a delightful Japanese Garden. The lovely city of Varna is only 15 km away. This hotel is a perfect place for families with children who wish to spend a holiday on the beach in a relaxing atmosphere.
