May — the first days of summer
In May the days are already pleasant, but the sea is still too cold for most swimmers. It’s the month for short breaks: walks along the promenade and through Comorova Forest, good food and relaxation. In 2027, the 1 May holiday falls right next to Orthodox Easter — see our Easter package by the sea.
June — the most underrated month
June brings warm but not scorching days and a sea that gets warmer week by week. The beaches are quieter and prices are among the best of the season. On days when the sea is still cool, the hotel pool is the perfect solution for children.
July and August — summer at its best
These are the months with the most beach days, the warmest sea and the most entertainment. They’re also the most popular, so book early — with our early booking offers you get up to 20% off in July and August. Avoid the strong sun between 12 noon and 4 pm, especially with children.
September — “the summer after summer”
Many of our returning guests choose September: the sea has stored up the summer’s warmth, the resort is quiet and prices drop. It’s the favourite time of seniors and couples — and one of the loveliest months for walks and day trips.
What to pack, month by month
- May and September: a light jacket or jumper for the evenings, alongside your summer clothes.
- June – August: high-factor sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water.
- Any time: comfortable shoes for walking and insect repellent for evenings near the lakes.
What to do on cooler or rainy days
Even in summer there can be cooler or rainy days. They’re a great chance to visit the dolphinarium and aquarium in Constanța, the Callatis Archaeology Museum in Mangalia or to go wine tasting in Murfatlar — more ideas in our guide to day trips from Neptun. At the hotel, the included meals and the evening programme make any day easy.
