BlackSeaRama Golf & Villas

Located on top of coastal cliffs along Bulgaria‘s Black Sea coast with views of the beautiful Cape Kaliakra, BlackSeaRama is home to a stunning Gary Player-designed championship golf course set within a gated residential estate of deluxe villas. 

The resort boasts a golf academy, wellness centre, four restaurants, and is just minutes away from two other world-class courses, designed by Ian Woosnam and another by Player. With more than 260 days a year sunshine, beautiful surroundings and first-class facilities, BlackSeaRama is a great holiday destination for golfers and non-golfers alike. 

The international airport at the city of Varna is just over an hours’ drive away, while Vienna, Prague and other major European Cities are under a two hours’ flight away. 

Golf Course

“BlackSeaRama is a special golf course – you have to see it to believe it!” said Player, the legendary South African golfer – and he’s not wrong. Set 200 metres above the sea, it’s a classic links course with fantastic views. When it opened in 2008, it was the first championship signature golf course in Bulgaria. 

Player has crafted a challenging 18-hole, 7,720-yard course layout from relatively flat and open terrain where the wind plays a significant role. There’s plentiful green-side bunkering and three lakes, but It’s extremely playable and invites players to post a good score. 2009 Masters champion Angel Cabrera said this was the best course Player has designed. 

Just a five minutes’ drive away is Player’s other course, Thracian Cliffs, one of the most dramatic courses you’ll ever play. And next to BlackSeaRama is Woosnam’s Lighthouse course which has breathtaking views. 

Clubhouse

The elegant Clubhouse, at the heart of the resort, is built in a Tuscan style. It’s well appointed with a Pro Shop, relaxation centre, indoor swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi. It also has a bar with a terrace overlooking the sea and two restaurants. At its front is an incredible stage area which extends over the cliffs’ edge above the sea, creating an open amphitheatre.

Golf Academy

Combining outdoor facilities with indoor learning studios, the Golf Academy offers a comprehensive learning experience covering all aspects of the game. There’s a driving range, a short game area, practice greens with bunkers, covered bays and a simulator. There’s also the Kids Golf Academy, which offers group lessons for children aged 6-12 every Saturday between June and August.

Residential Villas

The resort features luxurious villas and apartments for sale or rent. The residential area consists of one or two-storey buildings in four districts across the resort. All accommodation has five-star hotel service. 

The Green Villas, with course and sea views, feature infinity pools and fully equipped kitchens, making them deal holiday homes. The Individual Villas, with course, sea and lake views, are private retreats with individual outdoor swimming pools. 

The Bell Tower residential area, close to hole 3 of the golf course, consists of detached or semi-detached houses with the use of two swimming pools. The Suites, on the edge of the cliff close to the Clubhouse, have sea and course views with terraces and access to a communal swimming pool.
