Eurovision 2027 is coming to Bulgaria for the first time. The 71st Eurovision Song Contest will take place at Arena Burgas on Tuesday 11 May, Thursday 13 May and Saturday 15 May 2027, following Bulgaria's victory at the 2026 contest.
Sunny Beach is the closest major seaside resort to Burgas, just 35–40 km from Arena Burgas. If you are travelling to Eurovision, staying here means you can combine the shows with a beach holiday, save on hotel prices and reach the arena in 30–40 minutes by car.
What to expect at Eurovision 2027
The 71st edition will feature two semi-finals on 11 and 13 May and the grand final on 15 May. Arena Burgas, a modern 15,000-seat venue opened in 2023, will host the live shows. In addition to the arena concerts, the host city usually runs a Eurovision Village with fan events, screenings and live music near the city centre.
Why stay in Sunny Beach
- Sea and sand — the longest beach on the Bulgarian coast, right outside your apartment

- Value for money — better rates than central Burgas during Eurovision week
