Why Costinești Is Romania’s Best-Kept Summer Secret

Why Costinești Is Romania’s Best-Kept Summer Secret

Most travellers heading to Romania’s coast think of Mamaia. But those in the know are quietly redirecting to Costinești — a compact, walkable resort town that has reinvented itself in the last few years.

A town built for walking

Everything in Costinești is within a 15-minute walk: the beach, the train station, the restaurants, and the festival grounds. You do not need a car, a taxi, or a shuttle. From Luna Marina, the beach is 130 metres — two minutes on foot.

Beach Please changed everything

The Beach Please festival brought 100,000+ visitors to Costinești and put the town on the map for a new generation. Five days of hip-hop, Eastern Europe’s biggest lineup, and a crowd that fills every restaurant and bar.

Boutique is arriving

Costinești has long been dominated by socialist-era hotels and budget apartments. Luna Marina is part of a new wave — design-led, operator-owned, with 27 keys built for travellers who want comfort without sacrificing location.
