Bulgaria is one of the lesser-known thermal spa destinations in Europe.
Varna, a Bulgarian city by the Black Sea, boasts an interesting open-air museum that reminds of the magnificent Baths of Caracalla in Rome, the Odessos Roman Baths. That’s proof the Romans made use of the thermal waters in this area.
Modern hotels such as Aquahouse Hotel & Thermal SPA put this thermal water heritage to good use to offer their customers a seamless spa experience.
Aquahouse is one of the best spa hotels in Bulgaria. I haven’t tried them all, but I’m working on that.

In Romans’ Footsteps, at Ensana Aquahouse, a 5-Star Resort and Thermal Spa
Aquahouse Hotel & Thermal SPA is a 5-star hotel that features a modern SPA with 6 indoor pools and 5 outdoor pools with thermal water. Two of the pools are heated, just perfect for colder fall or winter days.
Located in Saints Constantine and Helena Resort, less than 3km from the center of Varna, on the Bulgarian seaside, Aquahouse Health Spa Hotel was a very nice surprise for me.
They were kind to offer me a complimentary three-day stay. The accommodation and the spa access have been offered, but the opinions in this article are all mine.
I enjoyed two lovely sunrises, from the balcony of my room and even from my bed. I photographed the first one.
I also enjoyed the thermal water pools, the sauna, the steam bath and the wonderful promenade by the Saints Constantine and Helena seaside.
The funniest thing I’ve seen in Saints Constantine & Helene Resort was a giant statue of Neptune in the sea, at about 100 meters from the shore.

Aquahouse offers a whole range of medical procedures and therapies, spa & wellness, based on the healing thermal water, a resource of beauty and health recognized for centuries.
The thermal mineral water has 46 degrees Celsius and is successfully used in treatments for prevention and healing of cardiovascular, endocrine diseases, as well as disorders of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Now, thermal water alone won’t probably heal you. Nonetheless, it can contribute to your overall health and wellbeing.

Why Visit Varna, Bulgaria?
Varna is a town that, much to my surprise, counts more than 300,000 inhabitants. The city center includes a fairly large pedestrian area, with shops, restaurants, bars and terraces.
And churches.
And cats.
And lots of seagulls.
