The Super Borovets project have been designed to bring the resort and Bulgaria to the forefront of holiday destinations and to ensure that Borovets will develop into all-year-round holiday destination with golf courses, SPA centres with mineral water treatments, outdoor and indoor swimming pools, cinemas, hiking & biking tracks as well as many other summer sports facilities.
Shapes – inspired by nature
Spread across 56,100 sq. metres, Riverland Ski & Leisure Resort is going to be a prominent residence in the Borovets region.
The residences design offers simple, elegant forms in contrast with the
roughness of nature. Each building has wooden sun screens, which create texture and filter views.
The landscape will be variegated by shade structures within the wildflower meadows, pathways with ramps and stone walls, water treatments connected with Bistritsa River.
The grand vision of this development, together with the luxury finishing and the exclusive for the area landscaping design ensures that this will be an iconic development that will stand out.
Walk in the Park
The low rise residences of Riverland look out to fine landscaped gardens with lots of places for outdoor sports and relaxation.
Along the riverside there are places for rest and barbeque evenings as well as dedicated bridges, which will connect the resort with Samokov’s urban park.
Whether you are in the mood for an extraordinary fine dining experience or a casual brunch overlooking the mountains or the Bistritsa river, you can meet your culinary desires just a few minutes away from your room. Our lobby bar and terrace cafe will treat you with the best coffee and pancakes in the area, while in our haute cuisine panorama restaurant you can enjoy a more sophisticated dinner. The view towards the town of Samokov and the Rila Mountain is particularly stunning at sunset time.
If you are in a casual mood and you would prefer a social gathering with friends the second restaurant, which is located along the riverside and offers nice views towards the Urban park of Samokov, will welcome you by its cozy atmosphere.
Besides the lobby bar and the exquisite panorama restaurant the semi-detached reception building will stand out with both its spectacular architecture and interior design.
The ideal oval shape fits at its best the uplift of the road bridging the river, while the tall windows and predominance of glass give a unique presence of modern in the unspoiled nature.
A great conference and meetings venue will be the second and the third floors, which will be arranged in an amphitheatrical way.
