A romantic picnic on Wreechen Natural Beach
Away from the well-known seaside resorts lies the natural beach at Wreechen – a real hidden gem for your romantic getaway. Instead of crowds, you’ll find a peaceful lagoon on the Rügen Bodden, surrounded by meadows, woodland and unspoilt nature. The natural beach, around 300 metres long and partly covered in green grass, offers space for a picnic in the shade or a relaxing dip in the shallow water. Situated right within the nature reserve, the surroundings are perfect for a short bike ride or a stroll along the shore.

A couple’s holiday on Rügen: things you can do together
A magical start to the day: sunrise over Binz Bay
It’s worth getting up early: at sunrise in Binz Bay, an almost surreal calm descends upon the beach. The Baltic Sea slowly comes to life and the bay is still virtually deserted. The Binz pier glistens in the soft morning light, whilst the sky changes colour minute by minute. With a blanket and a light breakfast, this moment becomes even more intense. Everything tastes better when the first light touches your faces. If you fancy it, take a dip in the water before 9 am – the beach is all yours in the morning.
A romantic cycling trip for two: Prora & Jasmunder Bodden
Take a deep breath together, set off on your bikes and enjoy the Baltic Sea air – a tour full of little discoveries awaits you around the Jasmund Bodden. The route starts in Prora, where the monumental colossus now serves as a museum and holiday resort. Along quiet paths near Mukran, past the ferry terminal, through fields and quiet streets, the route takes you towards Lietzow. There, the view opens up across the Bodden – perfect for a short break.
A hike for two through the Zickerberge
Here you can enjoy a romantic walk along flower-strewn meadow paths, through gentle heathland and rolling hills. The circular route through Mönchgut takes you past the Nonnenloch and along the cliffs at Zickerschen Höft. At Zickerberg, a sheltered bench offers views of Klein Zicker and the water. At Bakenberg, the highest point on the peninsula, there is a viewing platform at a height of 66 metres. From there, the view stretches far across the open biosphere reserve with its grazing pastures, dry grasslands and rare plants such as mountain hellebore and wood millet. A pristine place to take a deep breath.
Boat trip to the chalk coast
A cruise across the Baltic Sea, the boat rocking gently, the wind playing in your hair – and Rügen’s wild and romantic coastline rises up before you. Your tour of the famous chalk coast begins in Sassnitz, with views of the dense UNESCO beech forest and the 118-metre-high Königsstuhl. For around 90 minutes, you glide peacefully across the water – on the sun deck or in the cosy interior with a cool drink. The captain shares fascinating facts about geology, nature and wildlife.
A wellness break for couples and relaxation at the MariandlSPA
The MariandlSPA in Prora offers everything you need for a relaxing break for two. Start with a full-body massage using sea buckthorn oil or a sea salt scrub, or treat yourselves to a relaxing bath. The luxury retreat package, featuring tea, a scrub, a massage, a face mask and a hand massage, ensures a complete sense of well-being.
In between, you can take a dip in the heated indoor or outdoor pool in the wellness area or relax on the sunbathing lawns. The sauna area features a Finnish sauna with views of the pine forest and a steam bath. Or you can retreat to your apartment – which has its own sauna all to yourself.
Mariandl by the Sea: Perfect for couples
– Your own cabin with plenty of privacy: More romantic than any hotel on Rügen – no prying eyes or thin-walled corridors. Here, you have your own private retreat.
– An open fire in the living room: Sitting together in front of the crackling fire, a glass of red wine in hand, and simply having nothing to do – pure togetherness.
– Wellness weekend on Rügen for two: Look forward to floating together in the pool, enjoying the sauna or relaxing in the sanarium.
– Private sauna in the apartment: In the large chalets, you have your own sauna just for yourselves.
– Fondue in the apartment: Just stay indoors, melt the cheese and enjoy a lovely evening.
– Romantic dinner featuring Alpine cuisine by the sea: In the evening, by candlelight, you can enjoy Bavarian or regional delicacies together.
Romance by the sea and a private retreat in a stylish holiday apartment: the charming Mariandl am Meer combines Alpine cosiness with the idyll of the Baltic Sea. The complex is just a stone’s throw from the beach. Perfect for couples looking for some time to themselves without having to compromise on anything.

Your questions about a successful couple’s holiday by the sea
Where can you go for a lovely couple’s holiday?
Rügen is a popular holiday destination for couples. Strolling hand in hand along the beach, enjoying a glass of wine by the fireplace in the evening, and having breakfast to the sound of the sea in the morning. At Mariandl am Meer, your own holiday flat awaits – complete with a sauna, a loggia and plenty of space for the two of you.
What crazy things can you do as a couple?
You can enjoy quality time together while getting your adrenaline pumping: a scenic flight over the coast, stand-up paddleboarding at sunrise, or a shared diving adventure in the Baltic Sea. The treetop walk takes you high up into the trees – and the island toboggan run in Bergen sends you hurtling downhill. Afterwards, the Mariandl awaits you with a hot tub and an open fire.
How do I plan a relaxing couple’s holiday?
Plan less, let things happen: find yourself a cosy retreat like the Mariandl by the sea, with your own apartment, an in-house spa and the beach within sight. Add a few favourite spots to your wish list, pack some comfortable clothes – and leave room for spontaneous moments. That’s how a sense of ease comes all by itself.
Does a couple's holiday strengthen the relationship?
If you make time for each other – yes. And I mean really make time: no daily routine, no diaries, just the two of you. At Mariandl am Meer, you can cook together, relax by the pool or take a barefoot stroll along the beach together in the morning. That brings you closer – without any need for couples therapy.
