Everyone knows Bulgaria for being cheap, but it’s so much more than just a £1 a pint destination. If you’re learning to ski, then resorts like Borovets and Pamporovo just can’t be beaten.
Quality Hotels – from budget to luxury
The standard of hotels is excellent, with the majority being new or recently renovated. Hotels like the Kempinski and Premier Luxury Mountain Resort in Bansko are two luxury hotels but without the huge price tag you’d find in other resorts.

Apres ski
A big part of a holiday in Bulgaria is knowing it won’t break the bank – not only do you get great value half board hotels, but drinking out is super cheap. In Bansko you’ll pay around £1.50 a pint, in Borovets and Pamporovo you’ll pay little over £1 – can’t argue with that.

Families
It’s not just adults that have all the fun – Bulgaria is perfect for families with ‘ski kindergarten’ for the little ones and Learn to Ski packages for older kids. There’s some great accommodation for families like the Rila Apartments, which have family rooms and a vast amount of facilities for kids. Plus, it’s right next to the ski school.
