Relaxing Germany beach stay on the Baltic Sea coast

• Baltic Sea home-from-home: For a spot of coastal bliss beside the deep blues of the Baltic Sea, pack your bags to spend a few nights in the German town of Heiligenhafen. A relaxing sojourn is guaranteed here, with airy apartments lovingly decorated in soothing neutral and maritime hues. And with the beach a stone's throw away and magical lake, town or sea views from your window, you'll be falling in love with your Baltic base in no time.

• Heavenly eats: In an idyllic location right along the dreamy beachfront promenade, the hotel's Holy Harbor Grill serves mouthwatering local and international cuisine in a relaxed and convivial setting, perfect for laid-back meals with friends and family. Elsewhere, tuck into cakes and light bites at the café, or enjoy casual cocktails, a round of pool and live music at the Flamingo Bar in the evenings.

• Coastal comforts: You can really get the best of both worlds here, with self-contained and self-catering apartments complemented by top-notch facilities in the main building. Head to the Ocean Spa to drift between a heated indoor pool, steam bath, saunas, relaxation rooms and more, and top it off with an indulgent massage or a session at the gym.
