Our Story

Operator-owned. Design-led. Obsessed with the coast we grew up on.

Rebuilt from the studs up.

Luna Marina occupies a 1970s coastal block in the heart of Costinești — two minutes from the iconic obelisc, three minutes from the beach, and walking distance to the Beach Please festival grounds.

Phase one strips the building to its concrete frame and rebuilds 27 rooms across three floors: heated micro-cement floors, custom oak millwork, hand-glazed tile, blackout drapery, and the unmistakable Luna Marina monogram embossed into the plaster.

We are a small team — operator-owned, design-led, and obsessed with the coast we grew up on. The hotel reopens in August 2026. The waitlist opens today.

Moon Lounge — hand-sculpted plaster moon relief, soft seating, single plant
THE MOON LOUNGE

A quiet corner with a full moon overhead.

Two soft seats, a single plant, a hand-sculpted plaster moon — the kind of corner where a slow breakfast turns into a long conversation. Just off reception, before you step out toward the sea.

  • Open from 7am for guests
  • Filter coffee, fresh juice, light bites
  • A favourite reading nook in low season

Luna Marina is the work of a small team — operator-owned, design-led, and obsessed with the Black Sea coast we grew up on. We took a tired 1970s coastal block in central Costinești and stripped it back to its concrete frame. What we are rebuilding is a 27-key boutique hotel that does the basics properly and a few details exceptionally.

We are not a chain. We are not a brand experiment. We are a family-run hotel project led by people who have spent every summer of their lives on this coast, who can tell you which bakery opens at five, where the wind blows hardest in July, and which beach bar is worth your evening. We bring the same approach to the hotel: heated micro-cement floors, custom oak millwork, hand-glazed bathroom tile, a 24/7 reception that speaks English, Romanian and Russian, and a Moon Lounge with filter coffee from seven in the morning.

Costinești is changing. The Beach Please festival has put it on the map for a new generation, and Romania’s Black Sea coast is being rebuilt around us. We own 27 keys at the centre of it — three minutes from the sea, four minutes from the festival gate, and a short walk to the obelisc. We open in August 2026.
