During the Ottoman rule the village was known as i??Manastiri??, because of the five monasteries in the vicinity of the site. It restored its name of Sveti Vlas after the reunification of the Bulgarian state in 1886.

Sveti Vlas (Saint Vlas) is a resort town on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, located in Nesebar municipality, Burgas Province. St. Vlas is situated 10 km away from the town of Nessebur. Its location is very picturesque. Sheltered in the southern sides of the Balkan Mountains on the seashore, in the northern part of Burgas Bay it is a marvelous resort spot.

A settlement was founded at the present place of Sveti Vlas in the 2nd century AD by the Thracians. It acquired the name Sveti Vlas in the 14th century after Saint Blaise, a monastery dedicated to who existed in the region, but was burnt down in the 14th-18th century by consecutive pirate raids. During the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria, it was known as Manastir ("monastery"), while the name Sveti Vlas became official after 1886. The settlement became a climatic sea resort in 1963 and a town on 2 February 2006. Sveti Vlas is the only place on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast where the beaches are facing directly south.

Sveti Vlas has grown as a tourist resort in recent times, serving as a quieter alternative to nearby Sunny Beach. The gap between the two places is shrinking as more hotels and holiday apartments are built along the coast. Sveti Vlas lies at the northern end of a bay which has Sunny Beach in its middle and the ancient town of Nesebar at its southern end. Sunny Beach and Nesebar are easily accessible by car and there are also boats going between Sveti Vlas and Nesebar.
