Ready for the island? Five beautiful places by the sea
From Menorca to Crete and from Hiddensee to La Palma – we've compiled a list of beautiful vacation spots for you that truly immerse yourself in the island spirit. All you have to do is decide which direction you'd like to head. Off to the island!
Menorca: The little sister – a particularly sweet place to stay
The Ses Sucreres (loosely translated: his sweets) is nestled in the authentic landscape of Menorca and the historic neighborhood of the town of Ferreries. Guests overlook the green garden oasis in the courtyard and are surrounded by chirping birds. The house, with six guest rooms, was built in the early 19th century. The renovation was carried out with a special eye for the architectural beauty and authenticity of the building. The island is something like the quieter little sister of Mallorca, and Ses Sucreres also has a sister property in the capital, Mao – the city hotel. Hevresac.
The combination of original elements, art, and a minimalist, contemporary, and personal touch is accompanied by very friendly service. The hosts aim to show Menorca from a different perspective; they are always available for conversation and answer questions about Menorca's past and future. And, of course, they also know where the most beautiful beaches are.
As certified partners of the Menorca Biosphere Reserve, they made conscious choices from the outset, such as filtered and reverse osmosis water, natural building materials, green energy, and regional breakfast ingredients from local retailers. It's a place to arrive, enjoy, and return!
Hiddensee: The quiet one – relaxation with guaranteed sunshine
In the guesthouse LONG PLACE On Hiddensee, guests enjoy stunning views of the Bodden and the picturesque marina. The guesthouse is the perfect place to unwind. The secluded location, despite its proximity to the main town of Vitte, and the spacious grounds always allow for a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. And the beach is just 250 meters away.
The hosts themselves spent many years as holiday guests on Hiddensee. For them, the island has become a place of longing and refuge. They now want to share this place with their guests. Vacationers will find here not an anonymous hotel, but a home and employees who are committed to fair working conditions and want to make every stay something truly special.
The LANGE ORT guesthouse lay dormant for a long time—after its revitalization and renovation, many plans are now underway, including the development of a cultural program with readings, concerts, and much more. Hiddensee is one of the few "car-free islands" and, as a national park island, is one of the few unspoiled areas in Germany. Added to that, it enjoys the most hours of sunshine in all of Germany. What more could you want?
