Omega Resort

Omega Resort is a gated residential complex in Ravda, on the second line, about 150 metres from the sea. It has Act 16 and is run by the owners themselves under the Bulgarian «etazhna sobstvenost» (owners' association) scheme; more than ten families live here all year. The apartments are noticeably larger than typical resort ones: one-bedroom units of 65 to 104 sq m and two-bedroom units of up to 170 sq m, with storage rooms in the basement. Many apartments, especially on the upper floors, have sea views.

What to know before you buy

• Completed complex. The building has Act 16, so a deal goes straight to the title deed with no construction risk.
• Spacious apartments. Even one-bedroom apartments start at 65 sq m, and there are two-bedroom units with two bathrooms. Many are sold renovated and furnished.
• For families. The courtyard has a pool with a children's section and a sunbathing area, a playground and a gazebo with a barbecue; inside there is a children's room and billiards.
• A residential complex. This is not a resort hotel: the owners run it themselves and families live here all year. In summer, hot water comes from solar panels, the rest of the year from boilers.
• Security. The grounds are gated, with access control and a guard at the entrance, CCTV and a lift.
• Documents. Before any deposit, we check the title deed, the absence of encumbrances, that the area and floor match the documents and the rights to the storage room.

The sea is about 150 metres away, a couple of minutes' walk. Shops, cafés, restaurants and a bus stop are nearby, Ravda centre is within walking distance and old Nessebar a few kilometres away. Ravda is lively all year, with a school, a clinic and supermarkets.

Omega Resort suits families and buyers looking for a large apartment by the sea for year-round living, as well as for holidays and seasonal rentals.
