Mamaia is the biggest resort on the Romanian Black Sea shore. It is situated immediately north-east of Constanţa, Romania. Mamaia has almost no full time residents, being populated mostly during summer.
Mamaia is 8 km (5 miles) in length and only 300 m (300 yards) in width, being a strip of land between the Black Sea and Lake Siutghiol.
Through major developments throughout the past couple of years, Mamaia has transformed itself into one of the great summer destinations of Europe. New five star hotels and restaurants offer the best in lodging and cuisine. Mamaia is also the only resort in Europe to have pure White Sand only found in tropical places such as Hawaii.
The beach season is at its best between mid-May and late September, when average daytime temperatures are 25 to 30 degrees Celsius (78 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit). The water is warm until late in the autumn.
Hotels range from mid-end (2 and 3 stars) to exclusivist 4 and 5 stars hotels and private clubs.
The 11th reunion of the Central European heads-of-state took place in Mamaia on May 27–May 28, 2004.
