Bulgaria is the ‘perfect’ family holiday destination – with cheap all-inclusive deals, 23 Blue Flag beaches & waterparks

STILL unsure of where to head for your family holiday this summer?

Bulgaria has been described as a "fabulous family-friendly holiday destination" thanks to its bargain prices, Blue Flag beaches, and plenty of activities.

Holidays this summer are still available from £910 for a family of three - which works out at £303pp, including flights.

The Balkan country is well-known for its affordable holidays and stunning Black Sea coastline, with Sunny Beach, Golden Sands and Albena among the most popular.

The affordable resorts are packed with activities, restaurants, beaches and hotels.

But those looking for a more tranquil holiday should also consider lesser-known spots like Veleka Beach in Sinemorets, Nessebar, and Kavarna.

Regardless of where you go, Jet2holidays says you should find "unbeatable value," with many free sights to visit and cheap places to eat and drink.

This is also backed up by this year's Post Office Holiday Money Report, which shows Bulgaria in seventh place in the holiday cost barometer.

According to the study, a three-course evening meal for 2
(including a bottle of house wine) costs around £39.

Meanwhile, a cup of coffee should cost £1.83; bottles of local beer and soft drinks are also available for just under £2.

Here are some of the best deals we've spotted for a family holiday to Bulgaria this summer:

• 7 nights all-inclusive at SG Vezhen Hotel in Golden Sands, Bulgaria - from £910 for a family of three

If you still need more convincing, the country has 22 Blue Flag beaches and more than 15 waterparks.

One of the biggest and most famous waterparks is the Action Aquapark in Sunny Beach.

This one is ideal for those travelling with younger kids as there’s a huge lazy river that goes all the way around the park and lots of mini splash zones.

For more family-friendly deals, we rounded up the 10 top-rated waterpark hotels in Spain, with all-inclusive holidays from £392pp.

We also revealed how to get unlimited access to the No.1 waterpark in the world on TripAdvisor this summer.

And we've also found a family-friendly hotel that’s home to Egypt’s biggest waterpark with 85 slides and 42 pools - and kids stay for free.
