There will be 18 mineral pools with a total area of more than 4,000 sq m, as well as 20 water slides with a total length of 1.2 km, one of which will be the highest water slide in Bulgaria. Guests will stroll through expansive green areas planted with over 500 natural palm trees sourced from a number of exotic destinations. The complex will feature a 5-star hotel with a luxurious spa offering wellness treatments with mineral water, salt, mud, electrotherapies etc. There will also be numerous dining and entertainment venues as well as a casino. The total area of the complex will be over 52 thousand sq. m. There will also be a regular bus service connecting Sofia with the new attraction.
The duration of the project is 3 years. The developer is a Bulgarian company with many years of experience in tourism services and real estate investment.
