Thracian Cliffs Golf & Beach Resort
Kavarna
Thracian Cliffs is an award-winning golf resort set on the cliffs overlooking the Black Sea. The main attraction, in our opinion, is the stunning golf course. Gary Player, designer of Thracian Cliffs, said about his masterpiece "You will not find a golf course like this anywhere else on the planet." Framed by rugged coastal cliffs and the vast blue of the Black Sea, the 18-hole Gary Player designed Signature course at Thracian Cliffs is one of the most dramatic golf courses on earth. Accommodation is in two landscaped villages, separated by a beautiful lake and with stunning sea views. The Hillside Village is set 350m above the sea, offering 87 suites designed in a crescent shape around three infinity pools. The Marina village is located on the cliffs, where you will find 64 deluxe, spacious and convenient suites. There are a variety of dining options around the Thracian Cliffs Golf Resort: The main restaurant serves classic Bulgarian and Provencal food in comfortable and homey surroundings. The club house is a much more relaxed and informal bistro. The beach restaurant provides a Mediterranean ambience, combined with breathtaking scenery and the Argata beach restaurant which is a beautifully small beach brasserie designated to Thracian Cliffs residents only. The clubhouse offers golfers a comfortable place to meet, have a casual meal or drink as they begin their adventure on the course and as they return to reminisce of the highlights of the day. Overall the whole resort oozes class and will provide a memorable golfing holiday.

About The Area
Kavarna is one of Bulgaria’s strongest golf destinations, sitting on the rugged Northern Black Sea Coast close to Cape Kaliakra. It works especially well for golfers because three of the country’s best-known courses sit within a compact coastal area: Thracian Cliffs, BlackSeaRama and Lighthouse Golf & Spa Resort.
The headline venue is Thracian Cliffs Golf & Beach Resort, located near Kavarna. Its 18-hole Gary Player Signature course is carved into dramatic coastal cliffs, with the resort describing it as one of the most scenic courses on earth. The course opened in 2011 and is famous for Black Sea views from every hole, steep elevation changes and memorable cliff-edge shot-making.
Nearby, BlackSeaRama Golf & Villas offers another Gary Player design and was Bulgaria’s first championship signature golf course. Set around 200 metres above sea level, it gives golfers sweeping views across the Black Sea from Cape Kaliakra towards Cape Galata. Lighthouse Golf & Spa Resort, designed by Ian Woosnam, adds a more resort-style option nearby, making Kavarna a proper multi-course base rather than a one-round stop.
Golf around Kavarna is best from spring to autumn, with May, June, September and early October especially appealing for warm weather without the strongest summer heat. Coastal wind is part of the challenge, so controlled ball flight and smart club selection matter.
Off the course, Kavarna is all about sea views, cliffs and quieter coastal exploring. The town sits on a rocky shore around 63km north-east of Varna, with a coastline stretching over 40km. Cape Kaliakra is one of the region’s standout sights, jutting dramatically into the Black Sea close to Kavarna. Balchik, Varna and the northern coast’s beaches and restaurants are all easy additions.
For golfers seeking dramatic sea-view courses, resort comfort and one of Eastern Europe’s most memorable golf clusters, Kavarna is one of Bulgaria’s standout golf holiday bases.
