NIBIRU resort expands programming and extends season

Overview

The NIBIRU entertainment complex on Romania’s Black Sea coast has maintained rapid growth following its official opening on 16 July 2026 in Costinești. The inauguration, featuring performances by Delia and Puya, was noted by Romanian cosmonaut Dumitru Prunariu, who remarked, “For the first time in more than 50 years a new seaside resort opens in Romania.” Visitor numbers scaled rapidly, surpassing one million guests within 24 days of opening, a milestone confirmed by payment provider Festipay. To celebrate, the one-millionth visitor, 13-year-old Bogdan G. from Sibiu, was awarded lifetime free access to the resort.

Following its first month, organizer Selly noted that despite initial skepticism, the complex has expanded its daily opening hours to 10:00. The resort features the Nibiru Arena, a planet museum, a theme park, a fashion district, and over 30 restaurants. The complex has successfully hosted large-scale events, including the K-POP DAYS NIBIRU festival and the STARDUST festival, which drew a record-breaking 170,000 people over two nights featuring artists like ATC and Haddaway. Selly described the festival as a “multi-generational experience.”

As the inaugural season progresses, NIBIRU has hosted the Popcorn Days festival, celebrating the era of global Romanian dance music, followed by the RETROGRADE festival focusing on 2000s culture. To conclude the season, the resort has announced it will extend operations until 6 September, featuring a “Christmas in September” event from 31 August to 6 September, blending summer vibes with winter holiday themes through light installations and seasonal culinary experiences.
