Sea and lake hotels. Time just for you.

Adults-only hotels by lakes and the sea for your getaway

Adults-only hotels by lakes and sea suit days shaped by the water and landscape. A property by the shore does not automatically have its own beach or direct swimming access. For extra relaxation, compare our wellness and spa hotels; for time together, explore our romantic hotels. Location, access to the water, season and age policy are all useful booking checks.

The selection ranges from adults-only wellness hotels with pools and saunas to boutique hotels serving regional cuisine. If you would like to learn more about the special features of an adults-only hotel by a lake, you’ll find further inspiration there. For your trip, you can choose between Alpine lakes, the North Sea and Baltic Sea, as well as Mediterranean coasts.

At Lake Wolfgang, the 4-star superior boutique hotel Cortisen am See welcomes you in St Wolfgang in the Salzkammergut region.

The hotel restaurant serves a breakfast buffet in the morning and, on request, a three-course menu in the evening. The region of Bavaria is also ideal for walks by the lake and excursions along the shore.

If you prefer the open coast, the 5-star Strandhotel Dünenmeer in the Baltic Sea resort of Dierhagen offers a base on the Baltic coast.

Mediterranean coasts for holidays for two

On the Croatian island of Brač, the 4-star adults-only hotel Lemongarden is located in Sutivan. Historic stone buildings and a garden by the sea define the hotel.

Majorca: sea views and wellness

The 4-star Sentido Fido Punta del Mar in Santa Ponça offers you a child-free getaway with sea views in Majorca. The hotel has an infinity pool, a sauna and a spa area with massage treatments.
