Bulgaria is one of the best golf destinations in Europe, with world-class golf courses. The incredible combination of beautiful landscapes and a favourable climate makes the local golf complexes an oasis of sport, spa indulgence and active recreation.
Bulgaria Avenue has an extensive database of golf property in Bulgaria. We will select and help you buy affordably an apartment / apartments, a studio, a house or a chalet in a golf complex or next to a golf course.
Golf courses in Bulgaria are located both by the sea and in the mountains, so you can choose whether to combine the game with a beach holiday or with the coolness of mountain nature. Golf complexes in Bulgaria offer very good accommodation and have modern spa centres, restaurants, swimming pools and other leisure facilities.
Golf is an elite sport with long-standing traditions that is confidently gaining fans in Bulgaria. The game is practised by amateurs and professionals, mostly foreigners, as well as an increasing number of Bulgarians.
There are currently eight golf courses operating in Bulgaria, and the clubs employ instructors certified by the Professional Golf Association.
The first luxury-class golf complex was built in 2000 in the Ihtiman area, 40 km from Sofia.
Over 20 years, 5 courses have been created around Sofia:
- Ihtiman Golf Club
- Pirin Golf Hotel & Spa near Bansko;
- Golf Club Ibar;
- St. Sofia Golf Club & Spa;
- RIU Pravets Golf & SPA Resort.
Golf tourism in Bulgaria is one of the fastest-growing market niches. That is why, after developing the courses around Sofia, investors and designers focused their attention on investments in golf complexes on the Black Sea coast.
The famous elite golf complexes on the northern Black Sea coast of Bulgaria:
- BlackSeaRama Golf Club & Villas,
- Thracian Cliffs Golf Resort;
- Lighthouse Golf & Spa Resort.
Together, they are united on Cape Kaliakra into a single tourist golf destination.
Buying property in a golf complex in Bulgaria, price per sq.m
The most elite property in Bulgaria is golf property. Housing at a golf course can be bought both from the developer and on the resale market.
When buying from a developer, you have the opportunity to obtain interest-free instalments on an individual basis.
For those who are able to pay the full price of the property immediately (or with a small instalment plan), it is profitable and affordable to buy an apartment at a golf resort in Bulgaria on the secondary market. Resale apartments are 15-20% cheaper than new ones.
When purchasing property in a Golf Resort in Bulgaria — an apartment, a studio, apartments or a villa — you receive membership in the golf club.
The cost of property in a Golf Club depends on the location, view, area and categorisation.
