Lighthouse Golf & Spa Resort
Balchik
Lighthouse Golf & Spa Resort is one of the strongest choices for a Bulgaria golf holiday, especially for UK golfers looking for Black Sea views, resort comfort and several quality courses in one area. Set near Balchik on Bulgaria’s Cape Kaliakra coast, the resort sits on a cliff-top position with panoramic sea views, around 10 minutes from Balchik and 40 minutes from Varna.
The main attraction is Lighthouse Golf Course, an 18-hole, par-71 layout designed by Ian Woosnam. The course measures 6,338 metres and forms part of European Tour Properties, giving it strong international golf credibility. With native vegetation, five lakes, strategic bunkers and multiple tee options on each hole, it works well for mixed-ability groups while still giving better golfers plenty to think about.
For golfers wanting more than one round, Lighthouse is brilliantly placed. The resort is part of the Cape Kaliakra Signature Golf Coast, with BlackSeaRama and Thracian Cliffs both nearby, giving the area a proper multi-course golf holiday feel rather than relying on one layout. BlackSeaRama borders Lighthouse and can even be accessed by golf buggy.
Away from the fairways, the hotel offers spa treatments, leisure facilities, restaurants, bars and a shuttle service to Heros Beach, so there is plenty of downtime built into the trip. For a Bulgaria golf break with sunshine, sea views, good value and easy access to three standout courses, Lighthouse Golf & Spa Resort is a very appealing option.

About The Area
Golden Sands is a lively Black Sea resort that works brilliantly for golfers who want sunshine, beach time and something a little different from the usual European golf break. Set just north of Varna, it offers a long sandy beach, waterfront hotels, restaurants, bars, water sports and plenty to do after your round, making it a strong choice for groups, couples and golfers who like a proper holiday atmosphere alongside their golf. The resort also sits beside Golden Sands Nature Park, giving the area a greener, more scenic feel than you might expect from a beach destination.
While Golden Sands itself is best known for the beach, the golf appeal comes from Bulgaria’s impressive Black Sea courses further up the coast around Balchik and Cape Kaliakra. Thracian Cliffs is the headline course, an 18-hole Gary Player Signature design carved into dramatic cliffside terrain, with sea views from every hole. BlackSeaRama is another Gary Player design, offering a more open clifftop challenge, while Lighthouse Golf Course, designed by Ian Woosnam, adds resort-style golf with Black Sea views and a strong championship feel.
For UK golfers, Golden Sands is ideal if you want a golf holiday that blends beach resort comfort, coastal scenery and memorable courses. It is especially good for those who want to combine relaxed all-inclusive-style resort days with standout rounds on some of Bulgaria’s best golf courses. Hashtag Golf Travel can help build the right itinerary around Golden Sands, Varna and the Cape Kaliakra golf coast.
