MAMAIA is the largest and best known resort on Romanian Riviera. Located in the northern part of the seaside, Mamaia has a privileged position. The resort is attached to Constanta city and separates Lake Siutghiol of the Black Sea. The preferred destination of tourists during summer, Mamaia has been the subject of an ample process of modernization, gaining a beautiful western air. The palm trees, spectacular fountains, fashionable events and sensational shows, restaurants and luxurious clubs, quite terraces, promenade areas, Water Park, telegondola and entertainment centers, all these facilities make Mamaia a resort of fine taste, entertainment and relaxation. HISTORY The story of Mamaia resort starts in 1905, when the building of the first touristic locations starts on the strip of land between the sea and Lake Siutghiol. The resort was inaugurated one year later, on the 22nd of August. The small resort, popularly called “sea baths”, became shortly an oasis of peace and relaxation for the elites of the time, as well as for the royal family, being visited by a record number of tourists. In order to facilitate the access in the resort, the authorities at the time build a railway which links Mamaia to Constanta station, on the present route of Mamaia Boulevard. The resort rapidly “flourishes” in the interwar period when it becomes famous abroad. It is the moment when the first important buildings of the period appear, and we remember now the Cara-Dalga Castle, the summer residence of the royal family, Albatros Villa (the first accommodation unit from seaside) and Rex Hotel. The second hotel on the seaside, called Bucuresti (Iaki at present time) is built towards the ending of the 50’s. Mamaia continues to develop fast in the communist era, when many of the hotels are being built: Patria, National, Dorna, Bicaz, Astoria, Riviera, Metropol, Majestic, Mercur, Minerva, etc. In the 80’s Mamaia continues to develop and becomes a paradise for the tourists of the former soviet block. The 90’s bring a decline of the resort, but over the years Mamaia regains its title as “The Pearl of Romanian seaside”. THE BEACH Mamaia resort was gifted with one of the largest beaches in the whole Europe. This streteches on a distance of almost 10 km, between Constanta and Navodari city, and its width reaches almost 200m. The beach is covered with fine sand, without excessive stones and shells, and the entry in the sea is done smoothly, the depth of the sea growing gradually on a rather long distance. For safety reasons, the protection and comfort of the tourists, there are lifeguard centers arranged on the beach, first aid tents, public toilets and sites of selective collection of waste. A large part of the beach is arranged with chaise lounges and umbrellas which you can enjoy by paying a fee, but there are areas where you can enjoy them for free. The beach is crowded with beach bars and terraces, the perfect places where you can hide from the heat next to a cocktail or an ice coffee. ACCOMODATION AND MEAL Mamaia is the largest resort of the Romanian seaside, and this mirrors in its accommodation capacity. There are over 70 hotels and villas which have till 5 stars offering approximately 30 thousand places to stay.
