Nestled in the heart of the Balkan Mountains, on the outskirts of the historic town of Tryavna – one of Bulgaria’s best-preserved Revival-era towns – Wine & SPA Hotel Chukara has created a distinctive concept of mountain hospitality. A place where nature goes beyond the backdrop to become part of the experience; where wine tells a story, and time invites you to slow down.

Today, this story receives international recognition.
Wine & SPA Hotel Chukara has been included in the MICHELIN Guide Hotels selection – one of the world’s most recognised names in travel, gastronomy and hospitality.

For our team, this recognition goes far beyond a distinction. It reflects a philosophy we have carefully shaped over the past four years — one rooted in an unwavering attention to detail, a commitment to excellence, and a genuine desire to give every experience at Chukara its own sense of character.

Where the Balkan Mountains Meet Wine
Chukara is a place that is difficult to define within a single category.

The architecture is in harmony with the surrounding landscape, while expansive windows and panoramic terraces bring the mountains naturally into the interior. Mornings begin with views across the Balkan Mountains, while evenings end with a glass of wine as the last light slowly fades from the slopes.

The Deluxe Double Rooms and Apartments invite guests to enjoy a stay that combines comfort with a deep connection to nature – natural materials, generous spaces and mountain horizons that reveal a different palette with every season.

Wine as Part of the Experience
The story of Chukara begins with its winery.

Here, wine is made on site, allowing guests to look beyond the label, discover its journey, explore the character of different grape varieties, and taste a boutique selection in the very place where it comes to life.

The winery offers wine tours and tastings, while Chukara wines have become an integral part of the hotel’s identity – a portfolio of collections created with a deep respect for terroir and a contemporary interpretation of Bulgarian wine.

Two Restaurants, Each with Its Own Distinctive Character
The culinary experience at Chukara unfolds across two dining spaces.

Restaurant Osel embodies the complex’s more expressive culinary character, combining contemporary cuisine with ingredients and flavours inspired by the Bulgarian landscape and the rhythm of the seasons.

Restaurant Chukara brings together the flavours of tradition with a contemporary culinary approach, creating an experience that feels both rooted in the region and at home in the mountains.

Vista SPA – Balance for Body and Mind
Time to relax and embrace the quiet, away from the noise and closer to your inner self.

Vista SPA is a space dedicated to restoration and tranquillity, where the panoramic views of the Balkan Mountains remain an integral part of the experience.

A panoramic indoor pool filled with heated spring water, an outdoor jacuzzi, Finnish sauna, herbal sauna, steam bath, and salt room offer different ways to release accumulated tension. A relaxation area with water beds and an ice fountain completes these moments of timelessness.

SPA rituals featuring products by French skincare brand Yon-Ka Paris add the finishing touch – from relaxing massages to restorative facial and body treatments.

The Timeless Beauty of the Balkan MountainsBecause the experience does not end at the hotel door.

Nearby, guests can discover the mountain trails of the Tryavna Balkan, the Revival-era architecture and the rich cultural heritage of Tryavna.

Within the complex itself, a welcoming animal corner offers guests the chance to meet the animals that add to the property’s distinctive character. Lush green spaces, children’s areas and opportunities to spend time outdoors create the feeling of a small world of its own – away from the pace of city life, yet with everything needed for a genuinely rejuvenating retreat.

MICHELIN Guide – Recognition of Consistency

The MICHELIN Guide Hotels selection is particularly meaningful because it recognises not only beautiful spaces, but the experience as a whole – the character of a place, its quality, service and connection to its destination.

We would like to extend our special thanks to the Ministry of Tourism for its congratulations and recognition of the Bulgarian hotels included in the MICHELIN Guide Hotels selection, as well as for acknowledging the efforts of the professionals who work every day to raise the quality of Bulgaria’s tourism offering.
