International Property Alerts Feature: Europe’s Most Affordable Seaside Haven
On Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast lies Sunny Beach — a destination that lives up to its name. With eight kilometres of golden sand, calm waters, and a laid-back rhythm, it’s one of the last places in Europe where property beside the sea remains genuinely affordable.
Once known primarily as a summer resort, Sunny Beach is now drawing year-round residents, retirees, and investors who see opportunity in its combination of low costs, EU stability, and strong tourism appeal. Many international real estate listings in the area now highlight its growing appeal as both a lifestyle and investment destination.
Why Sunny Beach?
- 8km of golden coastline on the Black Sea
- Low-cost property options, typically under €100,000 for modern apartments
- EU member state, stable economy, and currency (lev pegged to the euro)
- Burgas International Airport only 30 minutes away
- Proximity to UNESCO-listed Nessebar, offering heritage, culture, and year-round charm
Ownership Note
Foreigners can freely purchase apartments in Bulgaria under their own name.
To buy houses or villas with land, non-EU citizens (including UK buyers post-Brexit) must use a Bulgarian company structure. For anyone buying property abroad, understanding local ownership laws like this is essential to ensure a smooth and compliant purchase process.
The Lifestyle
Life in Sunny Beach centres around the sea. Mornings start with coffee on the promenade, afternoons are spent on the sand or exploring Nessebar’s cobbled streets, and evenings bring beachside dining and lively bars under the sunset. For anyone wondering how to start a new life in a new country, Sunny Beach offers an easy blend of community, comfort, and opportunity by the coast.
In the summer months, the area buzzes with energy as visitors arrive from across Europe. When autumn comes, the coast returns to a calmer pace — appealing to digital nomads, retirees, and long-stay residents who value the sunshine without the crowds.
Healthcare, supermarkets, cafés, and year-round transport connections have made the resort increasingly viable for permanent living, not just holidays.
Investment Outlook
Apartments generally range from €60,000 to €120,000, depending on size and proximity to the sea
- Rental yields average around 5–8% annually during the peak season
- Property taxes remain among the lowest in Europe — roughly 0.1% per year above a small threshold
- Resale demand is growing among EU buyers from Germany, Poland, the UK, and the Czech Republic
With EU membership, low entry prices, and straightforward ownership rules for apartments, Bulgaria continues to offer one of the easiest entry points for first-time overseas buyers and lifestyle seekers.
