It's never too soon to think about the next holiday – and bookings made before February 26, 2016, at  the five-star Thracian Cliffs Golf & Beach Resort, in Bulgaria, will be 10 per cent cheaper, thanks to its outstanding early-bird deal, with savings of up to €175 (approx. £123) per room, per week.

In addition to golf at the spectacular Gary Player-designed Signature Course, the package includes return transfers from Varna airport, a shared buggy for each round, as well as access to the fitness area, hammam, steam bath and Jacuzzi at the resort's spa – with prices starting from €215 (approx. £159), based on a three-night break for four people in a two bedroom suite.

A Thracian Cliffs spokesman said: “Bookings from the UK and other key golfing markets have soared this year and we recommend customers take full advantage of being able to book early, save money, and discover one of the finest golf courses in the world.

“And, if waiting until 2016 proves too long, we still have outstanding summer packages with luxury accommodation from as little as €110 per night.”

What's more, there's even more reason to snap up an early-bird discount, since the five-star resort recently added even more value to its award-winning facilities with the launch of Argata Beach Club.

Formerly a private beach available exclusively to property owners, the beautiful, natural Argata Beach – which includes its own Mediterranean-style seafood, barbecue restaurant – is open for the beach season and can, for the first time, be enjoyed by residents and hotel guests alike.

Guests can enjoy a day of sun, sand and crystal waters, with locally-sourced food barbecued over volcanic stones, or kick back and sip on their favourite cocktail under the shade of the cabana – all while relishing in Bulgaria's fantastic summer climate.

During the midday heat, guests might also like to relax at the resort's new Starter House – open from 1pm-5pm – where they can enjoy an ice-cold beer at the bar and enjoy charcoal-barbecued food, while enjoying breathtaking vistas over the lake and golf course.

Guests can also enjoy fine dining at Olivo – a new restaurant fusing traditional and contemporary Bulgarian and Mediterranean cuisine – and follow up with a cocktail in Grand Voyage, the resort's new fantastical piano bar, which boasts state-of-the-art lighting and rousing 'retro-futuristic' décor pulled straight from the pages of Jules Verne and HG Wells.

Thracian Cliffs Golf & Beach Resort successfully hosted the 2013 Volvo World Match Play Championship and scooped the 'European Golf Resort of the Year 2014' award – bestowed by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO).

Course designer Gary Player said: “You will not find a golf course like this anywhere else on the planet. Pebble Beach is renowned as the best site and I would say Thracian Cliffs is twice as good as Pebble Beach.”

With two high-spec residential villages – many with panoramic sea views – gourmet restaurants, a bijou spa and its own beach club, Thracian Cliffs Golf & Beach Resort offers plenty for both golfers and lifestyle seekers, all within the unique environment of the Cape Kaliakra coast.

And with summer on the horizon, its location – which benefits from plenty sunshine, lying, as it does, further south than Florence, Monaco or Marseille – boasts the perfect climate for the regular special events which take place on the unspoiled Bendida Beach, located directly on the seafront of the resort.
