“You will not find a golf course like this anywhere else on the planet”
Gary Player
Thracian Cliffs Resort, which officially opened on June 4th, 2011 - is the jewel of
Gary Player’s portfolio. The Black Knight himself was the first playing the 18 holes
of his newest world-class project.
The 18-hole Gary Player designed Signature Golf Course dominates the resort,
hugging the clifftops for 4.5 km of rugged terrain above the sea. Thracian Cliffs is
part of the top Bulgarian golf destination Cape Kaliakra which features another Gary
Player Signature project – BlackSeaRama, and Lighthouse Golf Course designed by
Ian Woosnam.
Thracian Cliffs is located in a region where the traditions of the ancient Thracian
civilization can be traced – that’s from where its name originates. The ancient
Thracian tribes have inhabited the region 4000 years BC and the remnants of the
highlights of this civilization found in the region date back to 4th century BC. Some
of them can be visited nowadays – the fortress Tirisiss is located on Cape Kaliakra.
Among the most famous Thracians were the singer and musician Orpheus and the
mythical gladiator Spartacus.
The resort offers its guests the ultimate experience by carefully blending traditional
local architecture with the beautiful natural seafront environment. Thracian Cliffs
resort comprises amazing sea view properties, preserved wild nature beauty of
Kaliakra National Park ecosystem, 2 km private white beaches, Thracian Spa
residence, water and ground sports facilities, fine gourmet restaurants – all
presented against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery and complimented by
exceptional international service.
For those who seek to embrace the Thracian Cliffs lifestyle, balanced with harmony
and adventure, a selected number of resort residences are available for freehold
ownership. Residence investors may choose between luxury residences in Marina
and Hillside Villages finished and furnished up to 5 star standards. For those who
wish to generate decent return in their investment while away, Thracian Cliffs
Rental Program gives you the chance to make money from your apartment, while

Thracian Cliffs Gary Player’s Signature Golf Course
The 18-hole Gary Player Signature Golf Course forms the core of Thracian Cliffs
resort. This is the course that Gary Player named “Pebble Beach of Europe”. It
covers 164 hectares of truly beautiful cliffside. The golf course has been sculptured
to fit perfectly into this area and creates one of the most wonderful golfing
experiences. Sea views are in abundance and from every hole there is stunning
view of the cliffside and the Black Sea coast.
The Gary Player design will really challenge the golfers in difficulty and length but
with its modern layout and several sets of tees on every hole this great experience
will be made available for all levels of golfer. It is fair to say that every hole is a
signature hole but the 6th will surely be one everyone will remember. This hole sits
on top of the cliff with the green set some 40 meters below, cut into the hillside and
surrounded by the lapping waves of the Black Sea. The game from the back tee
definitely is not for the faint hearted as the distance measures over 220 meters.
Another challenge is the 7th hole whose tee box is on a small island in the sea.
Thracian Cliffs Bendida beach and lounge
The Thracian Cliffs Bendida Beach is an unspoiled and cosy spot, located directly on
the seafront of the resort. Easy to find and hard to leave, Bendida Beach is the right
place to escape heat, to eat, drink and enjoy life. There you can experience

roses. Later in the evening, enjoy an exciting beach DJ party and a special evening

session of revitalization or relaxation at the Thracian SPA. The place is exquisitely
designed in elegant Moroccan style and provides exceptional body massage and
SPA Treatments in a private setting. The golfers and their partners have the unique
opportunity to choose from extensive variety of massage therapies which bring a

with specific oil from the Bulgarian “Rosa Damascena” petals carefully selected from
the world famous Kazanlak (Rose) Valley. Recovery procedures, East therapies and
