New five-star resort set for Duni Royal resort in Bulgaria

Bulgarian coastal resort Duni Royal is to host a third five-star hotel, after Bulgarian developer Duni AD decided to invest €12m (£8.3) in a new beach development.

Currently, there are two five-star hotels in the gated, all-inclusive resort. The new complex, which will be called Marina Beach, will add 256 rooms to the resort's capacity.

Development of a phase-one 75-room unit has already been completed, and the second phase of the new hotel and complex is due to be completed by the middle of next year.

Duni Royal resort, which already has 3,000 hotel beds, will be fully developed on completion of the new Marina Beach hotel and complex, according to developers Duni AD.

Last year, the luxury resort had 320,000 overnight stays and this year its owners are aiming to achieve 350,000.
