Explore Balchik
Could Balchik be
your next place?
A small town on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, where the sea, everyday life and a slower pace come together. Beautiful in many ways, imperfect in others and definitely a place worth getting to know beyond the holiday season.

Daily Life
What everyday life in Balchik can look like
Local & Practical
You’ll find supermarkets, local shops, pharmacies, restaurants and the everyday basics you need, without living in a big city.
A Slower Pace
Life generally moves at a different pace here. Less rush, shorter distances and more room for everyday life outside work.
Very Different Off-Season
Summer brings visitors, restaurants and activity. In winter, Balchik becomes much quieter, something you’ll either appreciate or need to get used to.
Sea & Nature Nearby
The sea is part of everyday life, with beaches, coastal walks and open landscapes never far away.
Small-Town Living
Balchik is small. That can feel wonderfully easy and familiar, but it also means fewer choices and services than you would find in Varna or a larger city.
Four Real Seasons
Hot summers, quiet winters and everything in between. Living here year-round is a very different experience from spending a week here in July.
Living Environment
A different pace
of everyday life
Between the sea and the hills
Balchik stretches along the coast and up into the hills, which means where you live can make a real difference. Sea views often come with steep streets, while living closer to the centre can make everyday errands much easier.
Close to what you need, but not everything
Most everyday essentials are available locally, but for a wider choice of shops, services, healthcare or larger purchases, Varna is often the next stop. Living in Balchik means enjoying small-town life while having a larger city within reach.

About the founder
Samia
Your Next Place was started by Samia, who moved to the Balchik region in search of a simpler way of living, closer to nature and with more freedom.
Her journey here began when she started helping Venke, a Norwegian homeowner who wanted to remain in her home in Bulgaria for as long as possible. By looking after the house when Venke was away, Samia experienced first-hand how important it is for homeowners abroad to have someone reliable nearby.
Living in the region and seeing both sides, empty homes and people looking for a place to stay, inspired the creation of Your Next Place.
