BeachSide

Just a two-minute stroll from the sandy shores of the Baltic Sea, this four-star hotel offers easy access to the beach.

Each room includes a flat-screen TV, radio, in-room safe, hairdryer, and a private bathroom. Most rooms boast lovely views of Eckernförde Bay.

A hearty breakfast buffet is served in the restaurant and bar, which features a covered terrace set within a neighboring historic villa. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

For relaxation, there’s a top-floor sauna with sweeping Baltic Sea views, along with a bar offering snacks and delicious cocktails.

The medieval town of Eckernförde and the train station are both within a 10-minute walk. By car, you can reach Kiel—the capital of Schleswig-Holstein—as well as Kappeln and Schleswig in about 30 minutes.

Eckernförde is an ideal base not only for Baltic Sea enthusiasts but also for exploring northern Schleswig-Holstein. Highlights include cultural visits to state museums, country estates, and Haithabu, hikes in the Hüttener Mountains and Windeby Noor, day trips to the North Sea coast, and events like the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival and Green Screen Film Festival. Sailing, golfing, horseback riding, and snorkeling are also popular activities nearby.
