Marina Sozopol: The Art of Coastal Living

A new coastal destination where private residences, the yachting lifestyle, five-star hospitality, and the philosophy of longevity come together in a complete concept for quality living. There are projects that offer a home. And there are projects that create a world of their own – a place with character, culture, and a different rhythm of life.

Marina Sozopol belongs to the latter.

Located on the absolute first line, immediately next to the Old Town of Sozopol, the project brings together a limited collection of 39 private residences, a renovated yacht marina, a boutique five-star hotel, a SPA & Longevity centre, international gastronomy, and premium services. Every element is part of a consistent vision for a higher-quality, more balanced, and more fulfilling life by the sea.

Marina Sozopol fully reflects the philosophy of Christie’s International Real Estate – to represent rare properties and projects distinguished not only by their location and architecture, but also by their authenticity, lasting value, and exceptional experience. That is why Christie’s International Real Estate Bulgaria stands behind the realisation and international market positioning of Marina Sozopol Residences as the official exclusive sales partner from the very beginning of the project.

Connected to Christie’s more than 260-year legacy, the international network represents some of the world’s most desirable addresses. Marina Sozopol is a natural continuation of this selection – a project chosen for its rarity, complete concept, and potential to become an iconic coastal destination.

“The world’s most valuable properties share one quality – they cannot be replicated.”

A Place Time Has Already Chosen

There are places that cannot be created. They simply exist. Sozopol is one of them – a town where millennia of history meet the calm of the sea, and every street carries a sense of authenticity. It is here that Marina Sozopol creates a new interpretation of coastal living.

The proximity to the Old Town gives the project an identity that cannot be artificially reproduced. The cobbled streets, traditional houses, art galleries, small restaurants, and cultural life of Sozopol are only a short walk away from the contemporary and discreet environment of the residences. This is a rare combination of history and modern luxury, of the dynamic energy of the yacht marina and the quietness of personal space. Here, the sea is not simply a view. It is part of the home, the daily rhythm, and the feeling of freedom.

A Private Collection of Only 39 Residences

At the heart of the project are Marina Sozopol Residences – a collection of only 39 private homes, created for people who value tranquillity, space, and a direct connection to the sea. Spacious living areas, large terraces, and panoramic glazing turn the sea horizon into a natural extension of the interior. Selected residences will feature private swimming pools, while every home is designed with the idea of enduring over time – as a place for generations. Mornings begin with views of the yachts, afternoons unfold by the pool or in the sea, and evenings end with the reflection of the sunset on the water.

The limited number of residences is not merely an architectural decision. It creates discretion, personal attention, and a sense of belonging to a carefully developed private community. Owners will have access to a Private Owner’s Club, concierge services, and the opportunity to secure a berth in the yacht marina – details that transform property ownership into a complete and effortless experience.

Architecture That Belongs to the Sea

The architectural concept is developed by STARH, led by chief architect Svetoslav Stanislavov – an internationally recognised studio that interprets contemporary Mediterranean architecture through natural materials, bright façades, clean lines, and abundant landscaping. Natural stone, timber, and glass create a calm and understated environment. Panoramic glazing opens the homes towards the horizon, while the architectural volumes follow the natural terrain and create a maximum connection with the seascape.

True architecture does not seek to dominate a place. It belongs to it. That is why every detail in Marina Sozopol is designed so that the sea always remains the main character.

A Complete Concept for Quality Living

Marina Sozopol goes beyond the traditional idea of a luxury coastal project. It is not simply a collection of beautiful residences, but a complete environment for quality living, where the home, health, movement, nutrition, relaxation, seaside experiences, and five-star service are brought together in one consistent concept.

At the core of the project is the understanding that contemporary luxury is measured not only by a prestigious location and impressive architecture, but also by more time, better health, personal space, peace, and the opportunity for a fuller everyday life.

One of the most distinctive elements will be the 500 sq.m SPA & Longevity centre, which will be operated by a global brand and leader in healthy, active, and long-life living. Its concept will focus on preventive health care, recovery, movement, and a personalised approach to physical and emotional well-being.

Together with the premium fitness centre, the two outdoor swimming pools, the richly landscaped central garden, and the sports and leisure areas, the centre will turn self-care into a natural part of everyday life, rather than an experience reserved only for holidays.

The seaside climate, movement, quality sleep, nourishing food, and time spent in nature will all become part of a more balanced rhythm of life.

“The new definition of luxury is not simply more amenities, but more time, energy, balance, and quality of life.”

Management by Leaders in Every Segment

The overall concept of Marina Sozopol is supported by a professional management model in which each key element of the project will be entrusted to an established specialist and international leader in its respective segment.

The SPA & Longevity centre will be operated by a globally recognised brand in the field of healthy and long-life living. The yacht marina will be entrusted to an international operator with proven experience in managing prestigious marinas in Dubai and other leading global destinations. The boutique five-star hotel and restaurants will be managed by Ibero Hospitality Group – a company with extensive experience in the development and management of premium hotel and restaurant concepts.

The choice of specialised international operators is not only a sign of prestige. It is a guarantee that Marina Sozopol will function as a true international waterfront destination – with consistently high service quality, professional management, and a sustainable standard over time. Marina Sozopol brings together leaders in architecture, hospitality, marina management, gastronomy, and longevity care to create a complete concept for a better life by the sea.

The Marina as the Heart of the Project

The yacht marina is the heart of Marina Sozopol – a place for departures, encounters, peaceful walks, and sunsets by the water. The renovated harbour, with more than 300 berths, will become a natural centre of social life and a starting point for sea journeys. Owners of the residences will have the opportunity to secure a berth in the marina, turning the sea from a mere landscape into a real part of their lifestyle.

“Here, the sea is not a view. It is part of everyday life.”

The marina will create the atmosphere of contemporary Mediterranean living – with opportunities for meetings, lunches and dinners by the water, quiet afternoons, and spontaneous departures.

Five-Star Hospitality and International Gastronomy

Marina Sozopol includes a boutique five-star hotel with 36 rooms and one hotel suite, which will complement the residences with a high level of personalised service. Four restaurants will present international culinary concepts – Italian, Greek, Asian, and Lebanese cuisine. A pastry shop, a specialty coffee venue, and a selection of ten luxury boutiques will also be part of the destination.

The underground parking with 313 spaces will provide the necessary convenience without disturbing the tranquillity and visual harmony of the coastal environment. Every element is conceived not as a stand-alone service, but as part of a shared ecosystem for living, relaxation, health, and social connection.

The Value of Selectivity

True luxury is not defined solely by architecture, location, or the level of services. It is also shaped by the people who share a place, similar values, and a common understanding of quality living. With a limited collection of only 39 private residences, Marina Sozopol is conceived as a discreet and selective environment for people who value personal space, tranquillity, culture, and a high standard of communication.

Here, homes are not simply being built. A selective social environment is being created – a community of owners with a similar mindset, attitude to life, and pursuit of quality in every detail. The Private Owner’s Club, the yacht marina, the restaurants, the hotel, and the spaces for sport, recovery, and socialising create natural opportunities for encounters and shared experiences, while preserving the necessary discretion and personal space.

This is a community defined not by display, but by a culture of living – by respect for time, health, the sea, aesthetics, and meaningful communication. It is precisely this selectivity that turns Marina Sozopol into more than a prestigious seaside address. It creates a sense of belonging to a limited circle of people who share high expectations for their environment, service, and way of life.

Marina Sozopol is at once a private home, an international waterfront destination, and a carefully developed social environment – a place where true luxury means belonging without losing one’s independence.

More Than a Residence

Marina Sozopol combines an absolute first-line location, its own yacht marina, international architecture, five-star service, a complete wellness and longevity concept, and a limited collection of only 39 residences. The project is both a lifestyle choice and a long-term investment – in a location with history, naturally limited supply, and international potential.

With planned completion in spring 2029, Marina Sozopol is positioned as one of the most ambitious and comprehensive waterfront destinations ever created on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.

Marina Sozopol is not simply a new address by the sea.

It is a complete concept for a higher-quality, more balanced, and more fulfilling life – with more freedom, more care for oneself, and a sea that is always part of the home.
