Mindfulness on the Baltic Sea

Just a two-minute walk from the beautiful Baltic Sea beach lies

The Strandhotel Zingst, located in one of the most beautiful spots in northern Germany. The Weststrand, which was named by ARTE as one of the

One of the world's most beautiful beaches is located very close by—wild, vast, and almost deserted.

To the east lies the Vorpommersc National ParkBodden Landscape, a paradise for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and those seeking peace and quiet.

2. Space for Change – the “
” retreat on “Changing Values”

From February 23 to 27, 2026, the Strandhotel Zingst will become a space for personal growth in professional
and personal life. Together with “Auszeit” mentor Vesna Szalatzky, the hotel invites guests to a five-day retreat that combines coaching, nature, and mindfulness.

The focus is on the question: “What truly drives me today—and how do I want to live?”  It’s about values, clarity, and the courage to rediscover your own rhythm.

3. Nature—A Source of Energy in Motion

Here, you can experience mindfulness without having to practice it.
In the fall, thousands of cranes fly over the Bodden meadows—the sight is a serene natural spectacle that deeply moves many visitors. The Zingst Crane Center invites you to experience these fascinating birds up close.


Those who prefer to stay active will find kilometers of trails in the area for bike rides, walks, or runs along the beach.

For years, Fischland-Darß-Zingst has been considered a mecca for nature photography. The famous environmental photography festival “horizonte zingst” attracts international artists every year. But even aside from that, sunrises and sunsets, the play of light, and reflections on the water offer countless serene subjects—and perhaps that is exactly what mindfulness means: consciously seeing the moment.

5. Minimalist Design

The hotel underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2024.

122 rooms and suites, decorated in warm, natural tones, with clean lines and high-quality materials. Large windows offer views of the outdoors—the garden, the seawall, or the town. Everything is designed to promote tranquility and balance, and to give you that feeling of having truly arrived.

Nestled among old trees and fragrant shrubs, the hotel garden is a place to unwind—right in the heart of town, yet far from the hustle and bustle. Here, guests will find a heated outdoor pool open year-round, sun decks, and comfortable lounge chairs that invite you to read, relax, and daydream.

7. The Spa – 1,400 square meters of space for tranquility

Indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, an infrared cabin, a hot tub, relaxation areas, and a fitness room—the wellness area at the Strandhotel Zingst is spacious but never noisy. It’s not about

It's not about putting on a show, but about slowing down. A place for everyone,

who want to let go—at their own pace.

You’ll never get bored here: Your stay begins with a thoughtfully designed mindfulness guide at the front desk, offering little inspirations for the day. In addition, OYSTER Club members will find the book “Zingstliebe”—a travel guide to the region that highlights places that touch the heart. 



That way, every walk by the sea, every cup of coffee in the garden, and every view of the Baltic Sea brings you one step closer to yourself.

9. Enjoyment with a Purpose – Slow Food on the Baltic Sea

At the Nautica Restaurant and the Oyster Bar, the cuisine is thoughtfully prepared: regional, fresh, and authentic. Breakfast is served until noon. When you’re relaxing, time doesn’t matter. In the summer, the popular Coastal Barbecue takes place every Saturday outdoors—slow-cooked with the finest ingredients, accompanied by a fresh sea breeze.  

Winter brings a more peaceful atmosphere: That’s when it’s time for fondue—in varieties ranging from savory to sweet. Here, indulgence always goes hand in hand with mindfulness: taking your time, savoring each bite, and sharing. But one thing is always on the menu: fresh fish at Restaurant Nautica in the heart of Zingst.

Always on the move. Zingst is a place that offers both:

Stay active and unwind. From yoga on the beach to intuitive archery, stand-up paddleboarding, or walks at sunrise—there are plenty of ways for anyone who’s interested to rejuvenate their body and mind

to reconcile.


Movement is not driven by a principle of performance—it is part of the experience.

Here, you can experience mindfulness without having to practice it.
In the fall, thousands of cranes fly over the Bodden meadows—the sight is a serene natural spectacle that deeply moves many visitors. The Zingst Crane Center invites you to experience these fascinating birds up close.
