Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On a coastal estate behind the Baltic dunes, surrounded by pine forests outside Dierhagen.
The rooms
Rooms were redesigned in 2024 with natural timbers, and many look out through the pines toward the Baltic Sea.
The pool and spa
Bring a swimsuit.
Underwater bubble loungers line the indoor pool beneath vaulted ceilings, and treatment rooms host massage therapies.
The saunas
The Finnish sauna has an automated watermill wheel for regular infusions, set beside curved foot baths.
Gym and yoga studio
Cardio machines look out onto coastal pine trees, and an airy mirrored studio hosts yoga sessions.
At the table
Fischland Restaurant serves Baltic dishes beside an indoor fireplace. Out on the sand, the wooden Strandbude pours drinks at sunset.
How it began
The property was built in 1968 as an exclusive retreat for East German cabinet ministers and visiting dignitaries.
