Why St Vlas?

Sveti Vlas, as it's known locally, is a small coastal village on the Black Sea. It's a couple of miles round the coast from Sunny Beach, which is probably the biggest coastal tourist development area in Bulgaria. The village of St Vlas is a more established, traditional area, with exclusive complexes being built for the more discerning visitor. Around the other side of the bay is Old Nessebar, which is a historical area with fantastic buildings and structures. I know, it sounds like an advert, but to buy there, I have to like it, right?
The area is being revamped by the builders Dinevi & Co. They're building a number of exclusive resorts, and decided to deliver some of the infrastructure to support this, which include an ampitheatre with shops, children's play area and piano bar.



The biggest change they're making, however, is the building of a new marina. While still a work in progress, there's already signs that this will be an impressive area which can only raise the profile of the village as a whole.
The natural surroundings of St Vlas, surrounded by mountains as it is, and the Black Sea on the other side, will limit the amount of growth through building, and will serve to maintain the overall exlusive feel of the resort.

St Vlas has been in existence since the second century, though it was only named Sveti Vlas around the 14th Century. The feel of the village has been maintained, with relaxing little bars and shops and a village square which maintains it's local feel.
