It's all about attitude.

Philosophy

We don’t do everything differently, but we do everything with passion. Together, we bring our strengths and talents to the table so that we can become even better at what we are: a hotel right on the ocean, a retreat in the midst of life, a resort where you can truly feel at home. With a lot of heart, genuine warmth, and Nordic serenity, we make sure that everyone finds themselves and their own rhythm.

Unpretentious | understated.

We believe that focusing on what truly matters is the greatest form of liberation—leading to greater harmony between body and soul, and to greater clarity and lightness.

Slow | happy.

We are convinced that there is a right pace for everything and that things find their own rhythm—allowing us more time to pause, take a deep breath, and enjoy the moment.

Personal | Human.

We greatly value personal interaction in an intimate setting—for relationships that grow gently and bring us closer together.

Customized | Personal.

We warmly welcome everyone and view individuality as an asset—for unique experiences, wonderful encounters, and vivid memories.

"Arrived"

When you reach the Strandhotel Zingst, you’ve arrived. We’re not just a stop along the way; we’re not on the route—we’re where the land ends and life begins. We’re the destination, not the journey; when you’re with us, you’re at home, and you might never want to leave.

"Right in the Middle"

Even though we’re at the very tip of the Darß Peninsula—and as we all know, the best always comes last—we’re still right in the thick of things: between the Baltic Sea and the Bodden, in the national park, right by the pier, in the heart of town—not just geographically—and above all: right in the midst of life.

“Nordic by Nature”

We’re way up north, and most of us are from around here—and we think that’s a good thing. We’re straightforward and honest; we don’t feel the need to polarize with everything we do; we aren’t edgy, but we’re on the edge. With our eyes on the vast horizon from the moment we’re born, we don’t wear our hearts on our sleeves, but they’re always in the right place.

"In Good Company"

We’re independent, self-assured, and self-reliant, but we also know that we’re stronger together—we value good company. We’re a close-knit team and are deeply rooted in our neighborhood. Many of our guests keep coming back—they feel that the chemistry is just right here. Others might call them regulars; we call them friends for life.

"Pure pleasure"

As much as we love broad horizons and respect other opinions, we’re adamant about one thing: a vacation hotel is meant to pamper you. The spaciousness of our hotel, the enchanting tranquility of our garden, the cozy warmth of our spa, and our attentive service—we do everything we can to ensure our guests are comfortable. Conference rooms? You must not be feeling well.
