An experience has one advantage over any object: nobody returns it and nobody puts it in a cupboard. Here are ideas by person and by budget — for Christmas, a birthday, Valentine’s Day, 8 March or an anniversary — and how the gift voucher works.
Gift ideas by person
- For her: the “Ability Lady” package — facial cleansing, hot stone massage and a full day in the spa (€92). Or the “Beauty” package — hammam, aromatherapy massage and facial cleansing (€120).
- For him: the “Ability Gentleman” package — facial massage, hammam and a full spa day (€87).
- For two: the spa package for two — two full-body massages, a full day in the spa, the salt room and a bottle of wine or champagne (€120).
- For someone who trains: a sports massage (€49) or the “Sport” package — a monthly gym card and three sports massages (€150).
- For a parent or grandparent: the “Relax” package — a day spa card and a 60-minute relaxing massage (€52).
- For someone who sits all day: a therapeutic massage for the back and neck — a gift they will feel that same evening.
Gift ideas by budget
- Up to €35: a day spa card for two (€35) — pool, jacuzzi, saunas and gym for the whole day.
- Around €50: a 60-minute full-body massage (€45–49) or the “Relax” package (€52).
- Around €90: “Ability Lady” (€92) or “Ability Gentleman” (€87) — a facial treatment, a body ritual and a day in the spa.
- €120 and up: the spa package for two or the “Beauty” package.
- When you are not sure: a voucher for an amount — €50 or €100, say — and they choose for themselves.
How the gift voucher works
A voucher can be for a specific treatment, for a package or for an amount of your choice. It is valid for one year from the date of purchase, so the recipient has time to pick a day that suits them.
Vouchers are bought at the Ability Spa reception in Hotel Bulgaria. If you need one ready for a particular date — the weeks before Christmas and Valentine’s Day are the busiest — call ahead on +359 895 635 555.
What the recipient gets
Ability Spa is in the centre of Burgas, on the pedestrian Aleksandrovska street. Besides massages and facials there is an indoor pool with jacuzzi, a thermal zone with Finnish sauna, herbal sauna and steam bath, a hammam and a salt room. It is open every day from 07:00 to 22:00, so the voucher can be used after work as well as at the weekend.
It was named “Best SPA centre” at the Summer Bright Awards 2025 — reassuring when the gift is for someone hard to please.
One piece of advice
If the gift is for someone who has never had a massage, choose a relaxing massage or a package with a day spa card. Therapeutic and deep-tissue massage are better when the person knows what they want.
