Helena Sands

An introduction to Helena Sands

When it comes to holidays that offer up plenty of R&R, the Hotel Helena Sands is pretty hard to beat. For starters, the surroundings are just gorgeous. Look one way and you've got the glistening sands and crystal waters of Sunny Beach. Look the other and its all lush greenery and craggy mountain peaks. Its real postcard stuff alright.

The hotel pool is rather special, too. In fact, it gives the beach a bit of a run for its money. Huge in size, it's an oasis of serenity crowned by a spectacular wrought iron dome. Along with this impressive feature you've also got the obligatory loungers and parasols where you can kick start your tan. After a few hours' swimming and lounging, you might want to check out the spa.

The hotel's Wellness Centre is payable locally and has got everything you'll need for an afternoon of sheer indulgence. Try one of the steam, stone or Brechel baths. Or perhaps have a facial or a pedicure. If you prefer to sweat it out on the tennis court than in the sauna, there are plenty of opportunities to get active. You'll find everything from table tennis to volleyball.

After a workout, you'll probably want to give your tastebuds the same treatment. From tasty buffets to seafood at the a la carte restaurant, this place has got a great choice of eateries to choose from. As the sun sets and dinner ends, the evening ahead is just beginning.

If you want something hip and happening, check out the live music. For something a bit more chilled out, sink into a chair at the piano bar, or sip a few rum cocktails down at the beach bar. With all this and more, you'll soon see that one visit to this Bulgarian beauty is never enough.
