Royal Dream

Royal Dream is a completed six-storey residential complex in the southern part of Sunny Beach, approximately 400 metres from the beach. It comprises 196 apartments and offers a large outdoor swimming pool, a separate children's area, a restaurant, a bar, shops, lifts, security and parking. The complex has Act 16 and operates year-round. The apartments are sold on the resale market, and most are already furnished and equipped with household appliances.

What you need to know before buying

• Apartments. Royal Dream offers studios as well as one- and two-bedroom apartments. On the resale market, studios typically range from 34–42 sq m, one-bedroom apartments from approximately 55–65 sq m, and two-bedroom apartments from around 90–100 sq m. The layout, view and condition of the renovation vary from property to property.
• Furnishings and condition. This is now a completed resale development, so there is no standard specification across all apartments. Most properties are sold with a fitted kitchen, furniture, appliances and air conditioning. Before buying, it is worth checking the condition of the renovation, plumbing, electrics and equipment.
• Maintenance fee. The maintenance fee stated for a currently available apartment in the complex is €9.50 per sq m per year. For a 55 sq m apartment, this is approximately €523 annually; for a 96 sq m apartment, it is around €912. Older contracts may specify different rates, so the final amount should be checked against the documents for the chosen apartment.
• Swimming pool and grounds. The courtyard features a large outdoor swimming pool with a separate children's area, a sunbathing area and a pool bar. The landscaped grounds also include a children's playground, a restaurant, a café and small retail units.
• Lifts and parking. The building is equipped with lifts. Controlled-access parking is available on the grounds, but a separate space should not be assumed to be automatically allocated to every apartment; this must be clarified before the transaction.
• Completed complex. Royal Dream has Act 16 and is occupied year-round. Before buying, you can inspect the actual condition of the apartment, communal entrance, lift, swimming pool and grounds, and once ownership is transferred, there is no need to wait for construction to be completed.

Royal Dream is located in the southern part of Sunny Beach, closer to Nessebar. The beach is approximately 400 metres away, while a year-round supermarket, shops, restaurants, cafés and public transport stops are all nearby. Nessebar Old Town is about 2.5 km away and is easy to reach by bus, car or bicycle.

Royal Dream is a good choice for anyone seeking a ready-to-move-in furnished apartment near the beach, with a swimming pool, lift and on-site amenities, but without an excessively high annual maintenance fee. Before the transaction, it is particularly important to compare the condition of the renovation and the actual maintenance rate for each apartment. If you would prefer a newer building or an apartment closer to the seafront, it is worth viewing several completed complexes in the southern part of Sunny Beach at the same time.
