Family Holidays in Velingrad

A holiday with children is enjoyable when parents do not have to organise every minute. You need comfortable accommodation, a place to play, meals at predictable times and enough options to make the day interesting in sunshine and in less favourable weather.

At SPA Hotel Elbrus, families can combine an apartment with a separate living room, year-round mineral pools, a children’s play area and a seasonal thermal aqua park. Most services are within the complex, so you can leave your car in the car park and enjoy the day without constantly travelling.

Where to stay

For most families, an apartment is a convenient choice because the bedroom and living room are separate. A smaller family may also find the 23 m² room suitable, provided its capacity has been confirmed for the child’s age.

Compare the rooms and apartments and check which categories are available for your dates.

Water activities in every season

The year-round mineral-water areas vary in temperature and depth. Parents can choose a suitable area according to their child’s age and abilities, without everyone having to do the same thing.

Children may use the water areas only with an adult and must follow the instructions on site.

See the dimensions, temperatures and rules for the mineral pools.

Summer with more water fun

During the main summer season, Elbrus Thermal Aqua Park adds large slides, a swimming pool and a separate children’s area. Lifeguards are on duty, while continuous parental supervision remains compulsory.

Check the aqua park’s season, opening hours and prices.

Children’s play area

The children’s play area is on the first floor and is available to hotel guests. It has games, toys, books and activities. A staff member or entertainer is present, but a parent must also be there. Confirm the current arrangements with reception.

Use is free for hotel guests.

Dining with children

Full-board packages include buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is no permanent separate children’s menu, but familiar dishes can usually be found among the available choices.

Vegetarian options and possibilities for a child with a food allergy or intolerance can be discussed on request in advance. For a severe allergy, request specific confirmation before travelling.

A sample family day

The morning begins with breakfast, without rushing to pack for a whole day away. Afterwards, swim in the hotel pools or visit the aqua park during summer.

After lunch, a younger child can rest in the apartment while an older child chooses the play area. Later, the family can take a short walk in Velingrad or stay in the complex.

Dinner is on site, and the day ends without another car journey.
