RIU Pravets Resort

Located just 50 km north of Sofia, RIU Pravets Resort is a luxury haven set in a peaceful area dominated by lush meadows and attractive foothills...and a lovely lake, of course. It is the perfect vacation spot for those who've had it with all the noise and tumult of the big city and just want to kick back and get some rest by completely immersing themselves in first-class, five-star comfort.

The hotel RIU Pravets boasts a total of 248 exquisitely furnished rooms, suites, studios and houses equipped with a ridiculously huge set of amenities and offering even more stunning views. Half of the rooms face the velvety waters of the serene lake and the thick green forests on the opposite shore, while the other half display the magnificent foothills of Stara Planina. Their cosy atmosphere and breathtaking views should be able to satisfy even the most exacting of clients. And if there is still something missing...well, then just call Room Service - the hotel's well-trained staff will cater to your every need and will make all your wishes come true.

However, the rooms are not the only feature of RIU Pravets Resort that makes this place so special. The hotel's three restaurants are as equally impressive. The classic Main Restaurant is where the breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. The buffets always include an incredible variety of delicious meals that one will find simply impossible to resist. But if you really want to find out everything about the taste of sophistication, check out the classy Gourmet and Golf Club House Restaurants. They both offer a wide range of fine international dishes, delicate desserts and excellent wines. All the food is prepared by experienced chefs, matched with the most appropriate wine by great sommeliers, and served to clients by professional waiting staff.

That's not all, though. The hotel complex also has an ultramodern spa centre with a large heated indoor swimming pool governed by luxury and relaxing atmosphere, a state-of-the-art conference centre with several rooms that can hold up to 500 people which are perfect for business events and meetings, an 18-hole golf course, specially designed for keen golfers, an impressive Olympic-size outdoor swimming pool where you can catch some sunrays and spend lazy summer afternoons, and every fitness enthusiast's dream - a nicely-equipped gym. In addition to that, the hotel also flaunts many other sports facilities such as tennis courts, football and volleyball pitches, etc.

Not enough? OK, there's more. RIU Pravets Resort is the starting point of several hiking trails around the lake and the nearby foothills of Stara Planina... oh, and the garden by the lake is just perfect for weddings and big birthday parties.
