Thracian Cliffs Golf & Beach Resort

Though Thracian Cliffs promises that each of their Gary Player Signature Golf Course’s 18 holes is worthy of being crowned as its “signature hole,” the sixth stands out as a mettle-testing long par three with a scrubby cliff to the left and a dramatic drop to the Black Sea on the right of the green. Considered within the ecosystem of Kaliakra National Park, those not playing through will enjoy direct access to sandy, white coves or the full, luxury treatment at the resort’s spa — beach massage being an option. Guests stay in one of two terra cotta tile–topped villages with airy and bright interiors. No fewer than six of the resort’s eight dining options have panoramic views of the Black Sea, while, after hours, the Grand Voyage piano bar offers drinks and dancing in a retro-futuristic setting.
