St Mary’s Day falls at the height of the Romanian summer, when the days are long, the evenings are warm and even two nights away can make August feel like a holiday. For the weekend of 14–16 August 2026, Ana Hotels offered two very different ways to spend the break. In Poiana Brașov, guests could breathe in the scent of the fir trees and take the cable car up Postăvarul. In Eforie Nord, the weekend meant sandy beaches, Black Sea waves and evenings of live music by the shore. Both destinations offered packages for stays of at least two nights.
St Mary’s Day in the mountains at Ana Hotels Poiana Brașov
For anyone looking to escape the city heat, Poiana Brașov is one of Romania’s cooler summer retreats. The St Mary’s Day package brought the whole family into the mountains for a weekend of fresh air, time at the spa and a programme of activities for children.
The mountain package included
- Accommodation with breakfast
- Dinner on 14 August
- A Romanian brunch on 15 August
- A Mediterranean dinner with live music on 15 August
- One return cable car ticket per person on the Postăvarul Massif
- A €30 spa voucher per room, per night
- Complimentary access to the pool, saunas, Jacuzzi, outdoor hot tub, fitness facilities and relaxation area
Children had a programme of their own, with free entry to the Kids Club, craft activities using recycled materials, games, competitions with prizes and an entertainment team. On 14 August, they could settle in for a film. The following day, they could join in the action at an interactive theatre performance.
Guests could pay for their stay with a Romanian holiday card. Explore offers at Ana Hotels Sport Poiana Brașov.
St Mary’s Day by the sea at Ana Hotels Europa, Eforie Nord
For guests who had their hearts set on the sea, Ana Hotels Europa offered two ways to spend the weekend. Both included festive dinners and live music on Friday and Saturday. Seaside Escape was designed around days on the beach and evenings at the table, while Spa & Relax also gave guests time to enjoy the treatments at Ana Health Spa.
Both packages included two nights in a standard double room for two adults, with breakfast and dinner, plus one complimentary minibar refill per stay. Guests had access to the outdoor freshwater pool and to the beach, with sun loungers and parasols. Each guest also received one admission per stay to Techirghiol Pool, the outdoor pool filled with salt water from Lake Techirghiol.
The two evenings each had their own menu and music
- 14 August: Galani Band, Mircea Cazan and the Asteria Ensemble performed during a Greek-themed buffet dinner featuring fish specialities and a tasting of wines from Gabai Winery.
- 15 August: Guests were welcomed with a glass of Prosecco before a buffet dinner with live music from the Călin Geambașu Band and a tasting of Jidvei wines.

Mountains or sea: which break suited you best?
For families with young children, Poiana Brașov made it easy to plan a day everyone could enjoy. Parents could spend a quiet hour at the spa while the children joined the Kids Club activities, then the whole family could take the cable car up Postăvarul together.
For those who pictured their August break with sand underfoot, a swim in the sea and dinner outdoors with a live band, Eforie Nord was the natural choice. The Spa & Relax package was especially appealing for anyone who wanted to set aside part of the weekend for a treatment.
