Coast · Black Sea North
Sf. Constantin și Elena
Bulgaria's oldest seaside resort, just north of Varna, with mineral hot springs, leafy parkland and a historic monastery; calm and spa-oriented.
About Sf. Constantin și Elena
St Constantine and Helena in brief
This is the oldest resort on the Bulgarian coast, and it shows: instead of a boulevard of tower blocks, an old park of pines and plane trees drops down to small coves, dotted with thermal mineral springs and a monastery that gave the place its name. Just a few kilometres north of Varna, it's a calm, green, unmistakably spa- and balneo-focused destination — for anyone who wants the sea without the noise.
Things to do
Its charm lies in a rare mix of parkland, thermal water and views.
- The thermal mineral springs are the signature here — several hotels and beach complexes draw on the naturally warm water (temperatures and facilities approximate).
- [Evksinograd Palace](/obiective/evksinograd-palace), the former royal summer residence with its park and winery, adjoins the resort — usually visited by scheduled tour/booking (check access in advance).
- [University Botanical Garden – Ecopark Varna](/obiective/university-botanical-garden-ecopark-varna), nearby, for a morning among the plant collections.
Beaches
The coast breaks into intimate coves rather than one wide beach.
- [St St Constantine and Helena Beach](/plaje/plazh-sv-sv-konstantin-i-elena), the resort's main strand.
- [Aquahouse Thermal & Beach](/plaje/aquahouse-thermal-beach), tied to the thermal complex.
- [Slanchev den Beach](/plaje/plazh-slanchev-den) for a quieter alternative (facilities approximate).
Where to stay
Accommodation is dominated by large spa and balneo hotels, plus a few smaller villas.
- [Astor Garden Hotel](/cazare/astor-garden-hotel) and [Azalia Hotel Balneo & SPA](/cazare/azalia-hotel-balneo-spa) — the go-to addresses for wellness.
- [Ensana Aquahouse](/cazare/ensana-aquahouse), linked to the thermal complex.
- [Villa Chinka](/cazare/villa-chinka) for a more intimate stay with character.
Where to eat
- [The Bay](/restaurante/the-bay) for its position and view over the bay.
- [Ivanchov Han](/restaurante/ivanchov-han) for traditional Bulgarian cooking.
- [MORE beach restaurant](/restaurante/more-beach-restaurant) for a meal by the water.
Getting there
The nearest airport is Varna, about 10 km south (roughly 15–20 minutes by car, approximate) — the best-connected resort on the north coast. City buses run regularly from Varna in season. From Romania, take the coast road via Durankulak and Balchik.
Tips
- Come here for spa and balneo, not nightlife — the profile is decidedly calm.
- Being close to Varna, it pairs easily with a city break (museums, seafront, cathedral).
- The shoulder season (May, September–October) is ideal: the thermal water and balneo hotels work well beyond the summer peak.
- Check Evksinograd's visiting arrangements ahead of time — access is limited.
- It links well with [Kranevo](/kranevo) and [Balchik](/balchik) for a north-coast route.
