What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Life may be simple here, but it’s remarkably stylish as well, both in the soothingly minimalist rooms and suites…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The wild sand dunes of Weststrand stretch outside, while the historic Kurplatz and town center are a quick stroll away.
The rooms
Minimalist interiors frame the sea with blonde timber beds, muted sage accents, and large windows opening to coastal breezes.
The spa
A Finnish sauna and bio-sauna sit in the basement spa, beside daybeds and an outdoor cooling terrace.
At the table
Chef Nelson Müller serves fresh seafood and brasserie classics in a dining room set over herringbone parquet.
How it began

Named for the year Villa Mathilde was built, the restored seaside retreat connects two historic villas above the Weststrand dunes.
