Since the 1920s, Hiddensee has been known as the “island behind the island” and has been a place of longing for many city dwellers. During the GDR era, Hiddensee became a preferred destination for free spirits and those seeking an alternative lifestyle. The long, sometimes only 200 meters wide island, shaped like a seahorse, is divided into four villages: the artist village of Kloster below the lighthouse in the north, the island’s capital Vitte, the village of Grieben, and the white fishing village of Neuendorf in the south. Hiddensee offers its guests diverse natural landscapes, such as the highlands of Dornbusch in the north or the unique dune heath in the center of the island.
Reettraum Monastery
The house is located in an absolutely quiet peripheral location of the northern village of Kloster on a sandy path. The thatched-roof house has a rooftop terrace with an unobstructed view to the north towards the highlands of Dornbusch. The adjacent horse meadows provide a natural atmosphere. The west beach is about 800m away. Due to its elevated position, two garden terraces also offer a wide view to the west. The house was extensively renovated by the end of 2024 and has a usable area of around 250sqm. Today it has new-build quality. Completion took place in spring 2025. In an annex connected to the terrace, the wellness area with sauna, steam bath, and rain shower is integrated. The house is fully basemented and operated and air-conditioned by a modern air heat pump. Currently, the house is for sale. Please feel free to contact us anytime!
Heiderauschen House
Heiderauschen House is located in an absolutely secluded position in the dunes of the Dünenheide National Park and is a typical hideaway. The location of the house directly behind the dune is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and nature-rich locations on the German Baltic Sea coast. A beach access is located right next to the house. Due to its distance, the beautiful West Beach here is also sparsely frequented even in high summer. The house can be reached via sandy paths approximately 2.5 km south of Vitter Harbor. The house, dating back to the 1950s, underwent extensive renovation in 2022 and has a total area of 170 sqm. The attic offers a breathtaking view of the Baltic Sea. To the east, one can admire the Dünenheide, which turns violet in late summer. The house has been renovated to a very high standard and features an annex building, multiple terraces, and a bathroom with a steam sauna. It is powered by an air heat pump, has its own organic sewage treatment system, and a private well. A fiber optic connection is available.
Hotel Heiderose
The Hotel Heiderose is being completely renovated and redesigned. The complex in the national park on Hiddensee has grown historically and includes the main building from 1900, a dining hall from 1920, a single-story area from the GDR era, and an extension from shortly after reunification. As an institution in the dune heath between Vitte and Neuendorf, the house is known as a fixed point of contact over generations. The renovation is carried out within the existing structure and aesthetically combines the individual construction phases. As part of the redesign, the roofs are also renewed and given a local reed look. In parallel, the house undergoes an energy overhaul according to modern KFW standards.
As part of the hotel, there will once again be a restaurant operation where all Hiddensee residents and island guests are welcome. The historical restaurant hall, a large terrace, and the traditional beer garden are available for this purpose. For the cooler days, a new wellness area is being designed. This will feature a sauna and steam bath, a cold water pool, and whirlpools. Unlike before, several family-friendly suites up to 100sqm will be offered alongside classic hotel rooms.
We want to consciously design the interior cozy and with natural materials. We are currently working on the details. Even on “the island behind the island” and in the seclusion of the dune heath, our guests should not have to forego modern comfort with a touch of urbanity. The materials and fabrics provide a first impression. Until our opening on Hiddensee, we warmly welcome you at Baltic Hideaways in our houses in Warnemünde, Prerow, Binz, Sellin, and Heringsdorf.
