The palace is currently a governmental and presidential retreat, hosting cabinet meetings in the summer and offering access for tourists to several villas and hotels.

At the time the land was occupied by two small monasteries: St. Demetrius and St. Constantine; these were subsequently converted into the first royal residence on the site.

Ferdinand brought the pediment and other materials from the right wing of the Château de Saint-Cloud (a former French royal residence) in France to Bulgaria and integrated them into his new palace.

Following the abolition of the monarchy in Bulgaria, the result of a referendum held under the auspices of the Communists in 1946, Euxinograd became a summer residence of the then-Communist authorities.

The park is home to over 310 plant varieties from Asia, South America, North Africa and Southern France, reputed to have been selected by Ferdinand himself, and occupies an area of over 550 decares.

The tiny Kestrichka Bara River flows through the park, and is spanned by two bridges, one of metal one and one of cement, imitating a fallen tree.

Contrary to the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Bulgaria, Evksinograd beach is fenced to segregate government officials and ordinary citizens.
