Romanians are flocking to domestic resorts for New Year’s Eve, so much so that most guesthouses and villas in Maramureș and Bucovina have been booked since spring. Similarly, even luxury hotels in Poiana Brașov, Păltiniș, or Băile Felix are almost entirely booked, even though a New Year’s package costs between 1,000 and 2,000 euros—more expensive than a 7-night stay in an exotic destination like Thailand or Dubai.
According to a ranking by Christian Tour, the most sought-after domestic destinations for New Year’s Eve celebrations are the resorts in the Prahova Valley, those in Brașov, certain spa resorts such as Băile Felix, Bucovina, and Maramureș.
Regarding the prices Romanians pay for New Year’s Eve in Romania, the average rate for two people is 3,500 – 4,000 RON for 4 nights of accommodation, half board, and festive meals. However, there are also hotel units where New Year’s holiday rates far exceed this average threshold, reaching costs comparable to a stay in an exotic destination.
Among the foreign destinations chosen by Romanians for the New Year are Thailand, Istanbul, or Skopje, the capital of Macedonia.
