Visit Europe’s last great wilderness destination...

...Stay at the luxurious 5* Delta Nature Resort – One of the Top 10 Eco Resorts in the World

Spread over 1,400 square miles, Romania’s Danube Delta is teeming with natural life. A world heritage site and a biosphere reserve, the Delta’s varied habitat is home to thousands of species of fauna & flora. The vast mosaic of channels, lakes, reed-beds and forests are accessible by boat and permit an unforgettable experience of nature at closest proximity. Each of the habitats supports its own collection of avifauna.

Whilst foraging along the channels, you can spot kingfishers, herons, egrets and wide variety of woodland birds. You can observe terns, gulls and occasionally a large flock of Pelicans as they feed and roost in the crystal clear lakes covered with large beds of white and yellow lilies. Look out for coots, grebes, ibis and a profusion of water fowl in the reeds. Up in the branches of the partially submerged trees, there are mixed colonies of cormorants, spoonbills, heron and egrets; the air is buzzing with activity as the young are reared for their winter migration. High in the air you can observe buzzards, sparrow-hawks, falcons and occasionally the white tailed eagle searching for prey.

In addition to exploring the wonders of this natural reserve, the trip gives you an opportunity to experience the history of the region, which can be traced back to 657 BC when the first human settlements were built close by. Visit historic monasteries, sample wine from vineyards dating back to the Roman Empire and savor the finest caviar in the world, the Beluga from the Black Sea. Often referred to as one of Europe’s best kept secrets, the Danube Delta is an inspiring holiday destination for the leisure traveler as well as the serious naturalist.

The Delta Nature Resort is the first and only five star resort in Danube Delta. Overlooking the magnificent Delta, the resort was built and equipped to accommodate an international and discerning clientele. Combining traditional architecture with modern facilities, the resort consists of individual, spacious and superbly comfortable villas with large terraces offering sweeping views over the Delta.
