A new chapter in Romanian tourism history has been written with the official launch of NIBIRU, the largest private investment ever made in Romania’s summer tourism industry. Unveiled today in Bucharest at exactly 11:11 AM, in the presence of investors, strategic partners, industry leaders, and media representatives, NIBIRU is poised to revolutionize the Black Sea coastline.
Located between Costinești and Tuzla, NIBIRU will span 1.6 million square meters, introducing a bold, visionary model of seasonal economic, cultural, and entertainment development.
The unveiling follows a viral national teaser campaign that stirred widespread curiosity: hundreds of influencers posted a mysterious image of a pink planet, today revealed to be NIBIRU.
A Visionary Concept Built from the Ground Up
NIBIRU is a fully planned seasonal city, designed for exclusive summer operation. It offers a seamless, high-end experience, complete with full infrastructure and immersive design. With over €50 million invested in Phase 1, it is the largest entertainment-focused private tourism development in Romania’s history.
“NIBIRU is not just a place, it’s an ecosystem. A platform for jobs, innovation, culture, and international exposure. A regenerative model for the Romanian coast,” said Andrei Șelaru (Selly), CEO and Managing Partner.
The Core Attractions
NIBIRU will feature four major zones connected by a lively central promenade with nightly performances, art installations, and interactive experiences:
-
An open-air mall with cafés, restaurants, and boutique shopping
-
A family amusement park and green relaxation areas
-
A multi-use festival & concert venue with a jaw-dropping capacity of 150,000 people
-
And perhaps most groundbreaking:
NIBIRU Arena, the largest outdoor nightclub in the world, accommodating 30,000 partygoers every night.
Featuring daily events throughout the summer, the club will host international artists, world-renowned DJs, and top party concept creators from across the globe, from Ibiza to Dubai, Berlin to Miami.
Elite Creative & Operational Team
NIBIRU is brought to life by an all-star team:
-
Joshua Cox (Founder, SOLE DXB – Dubai): Creative Lead
-
George Carabelea (Beach, Please!): Festival Operations
-
Fady Zaidan (LOFT Group): Head of Experience & Entertainment

“Designing NIBIRU meant creating a world that people feel. It’s storytelling at the scale of a city,” said Joshua Cox.
Beyond Entertainment
NIBIRU also includes:
-
A sports district and urban art spaces
-
A fashion bazaar for emerging Romanian designers
-
A summer library, comedy club, and workshops
-
Premium HoReCa offerings with both gourmet and casual food options

-
Flagship venues from LOFT and NUBA, redefining nightlife and beach experiences
Digital DNA & Global Reach
Built as a viral digital content hub, NIBIRU will welcome creators, streamers, and large-scale media formats. A successful proof of concept took place at the 2025 Beach, Please! festival, drawing over 150,000 guests and proving the land’s capability.
“This is the kind of vision that moves a country forward,” said Claudiu Bisnel, Managing Partner at BRISK Group.
Affordable Yet World-Class
With 3+ million projected visitors per season, NIBIRU aims to compete with global hotspots like Ibiza or Mykonos, at a fraction of the price. A full night of entertainment is expected to cost just 100–150 RON (€20–30).
“Romanians spend over €10 billion annually on vacations abroad. NIBIRU’s mission is to bring at least 10% of that home,” said Selly.
Grand Opening: Summer 2026
NIBIRU officially opens to the public in July 2026. With scale, style, and substance, this project is set to transform not only the Romanian seaside, but its place on the global tourism map.
