Pomorie has long since outgrown the image of just another popular Black Sea resort. In years gone by, it was known primarily for its summer buzz and seasonal tourists. Today, however, a very different trend is emerging — a growing number of permanent residents, new buildings, infrastructure investment and rising interest in property purchases from people with long-term intentions. What lies behind this shift, and why is the town attracting more and more people who are choosing it not just for a holiday, but as a permanent home?
A Town on the Rise
Pomorie is built on a narrow rocky peninsula on the Black Sea coast, just 20 km south of Burgas and 10 km from an international airport. This geographical position is a key advantage. The town offers the tranquillity of a seaside resort while providing quick access to the infrastructure of a major regional centre.
With a population of around 14,000, Pomorie combines the scale of a functioning town with schools, kindergartens, a hospital, shops and administrative services with the atmosphere of a coastal resort. It is precisely this combination that makes it appealing to families, retirees and people seeking a balance between urban convenience and the quality of life that a smaller seaside town can offer.
Growing Infrastructure in Pomorie
One of the most important indicators of a destination’s long-term potential is public investment in its infrastructure. The capital investment programme of Pomorie Municipality is focused on several key priorities directly linked to improving the quality of life in the town:
- Urban environment and utility infrastructure — street renovation, improvements to the water supply network and drinking water quality in the town centre
- Education — modernisation of schools and kindergartens across the municipality
- Public spaces and tourism — creation of new public areas, rehabilitation of the harbour and development of tourist attractions
- Energy efficiency — introduction of energy-saving street lighting and renovation of public buildings
- Youth and social life — construction of a new youth centre, a clear signal of investment in the community that goes beyond seasonal tourism
These priorities reflect a clear trend: Pomorie is not developing merely as a summer resort, but as a fully functioning municipal centre with a long-term infrastructure vision.
Location Is Everything
For those considering buying an apartment in Pomorie with the intention of living there permanently or working remotely, the transport connection to Burgas is of key importance. The regular Pomorie–Burgas bus service runs multiple times daily in both directions, from early morning (06:30) through to the evening (20:30), seven days a week including weekends. The journey between the two towns takes approximately 20 minutes.
In practical terms, this means you can work in Burgas and live in Pomorie without even needing a car. For those who prefer to travel by car, the drive takes around 20–25 minutes.
Pomorie is also connected to Varna via the northern coastal road, and a regular bus service links Pomorie with Nessebar and Sunny Beach. The international airport at Burgas, located just 10 km from Pomorie, is a further advantage particularly for foreign property owners arriving directly from Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom and other countries served by regular charter and low-cost flights.
Burgas is a large city undergoing significant infrastructure development, focused on improving its transport and residential environment. Access to specialist hospitals, shopping centres, a university, an airport, a port, a rich cultural scene and a diverse business environment, everything that a small coastal town cannot offer on its own is compensated for by the scale of the regional centre nearby.
Pomorie Property Market
Interest in Pomorie property is reflected in real market data. Tourist figures are a telling indicator of the health of the vacation property market. For the summer season of 2025, Pomorie recorded 98,350 overnight stays from tourists representing 107 nationalities — a growth of 10.6% compared to 2024. This sustained tourist flow directly increases demand for short-term accommodation and strengthens rental yields.
At a national level, the trend in vacation properties is clear: Black Sea prices are holding at more stable levels than those in the cities, and new-build Class A developments in Pomorie are establishing themselves as the preferred choice among investors with a long-term outlook.
Who Are Pomorie’s New Residents?
The profile of people choosing life in Pomorie has expanded considerably in recent years. Several clearly defined groups stand out:
- Families looking for a better quality of life, cleaner air and a calmer environment for their children, with access to schools and kindergartens within Pomorie itself.
- Remote workers — a growing trend since 2020. For them, Pomorie offers the ideal combination: a seaside atmosphere and easy access to Burgas whenever an office or business meeting is required.
- Retirees — both Bulgarian and foreign. German, Polish and Western European citizens are actively purchasing seafront properties in Pomorie, drawn by the significantly lower cost of living compared to Western Europe.
- Investors looking for a stable asset with rental income potential.
Pomorie Is Growing at a Steady Pace
A clear shift is visible in the profile of the Pomorie buyer. If five or six years ago most people were purchasing an apartment here primarily for the summer, today a growing number are thinking about permanent residency. Proximity to Burgas is a key factor — people want the sea, but they do not want to give up the conveniences of city life. Pomorie offers both.
There is also growing interest from foreign buyers, primarily from Germany and Poland, but also from more distant markets. They are drawn by the balneology, the tranquillity and the competitive prices compared to Western European coastal destinations. The municipality’s infrastructure investments only further strengthen the long-term value of property here.
Your New Apartment in Pomorie Is Waiting
In the context of a developing Pomorie, the InterHomes project by Interplan 11 Ltd has been created with precisely this long-term vision in mind. The buildings are located at key points across the town and offer Class A apartments with modern architecture, energy-efficient technologies and individual interior solutions.
The project is conceived around the idea that a home by the sea should be more than just a property, it should be a place where quality of life is felt every single day, whether you come for the weekend, for the whole summer or to stay permanently.
