Ski holidays in Bulgaria are some of the most up and coming options you could choose for your winter break this year. While Bulgaria hasn’t quite achieved the bigwig status like the alpine destinations of France, Austria and Italy have just yet, its authenticity and rustic charm is appealing to more and more holidaymakers every year.

Perfect for families and full of character, Bulgaria is a real delight and a Borovets ski holiday is a great place to start. Ideal for those learning to ski, with some super facilities and a fun-filled atmosphere, Borovets lies in the heart of the Rila Mountains and has access to tree-lined slopes with astonishing panoramas.

As for where to stay, there’s a great selection of accommodation available in the resort, to suit your personal requirements and budget, including:

Hotel Lion Borovets boasts elegance and affordability, located on the edge of the resort. While its position may mean a more peaceful stay, away from the bustle of the main town, you will still within easy access of the local amenities. Inside, there’s a pool, two saunas and a hot tub – perfect to unwind in after a hard day on the hill.

The Hotel Rila and Studios can be found in the heart of the resort, on the doorstep of all the local facilities meaning you will never feel left out. Just a few metres from the slopes, you can hop on to the lifts, ski during the day and return back to the hotel with absolute ease. Once back at base, you could take your pick from a dip in the pool, a soak in the hot tub or some quality dining in the on-site restaurants.

The Hotel Festa Winter Palace provides 5* luxury in the heart of Borovets, that is not only elegant and chic, but is the sort of hotel you’d find adorning a postcard. While still reasonably priced, this unique hotel is as pretty as it is stylish, with plenty of facilities to utilise, including a spa and bars.

Three fantastic options for your Borovets stay – none of which will overstretch your budget but will guarantee an unforgettable stay in the picturesque Rila Mountains.
