Poland not on your radar as a travel destination yet? We're changing that today.
The small Baltic Sea resort of Ustronie Morskie on Poland's coast has only about 2,000 inhabitants, yet it possesses a special charm in every season. In spring, you can cycle through fragrant coastal forests; in summer, you can sink your feet into the soft, light Baltic Sea sand; in autumn, you can search for amber after stormy nights; and in winter, you can get cozy with a whirlpool and sauna. You'll find all this at Skarpa Resort.
A small design haven between pines and grasses
Just about a ten-minute walk (870 meters) from the wide, fine sandy beach, the complex is located on the edge of the village, quiet, nestled amidst tall pine trees. Eight detached cottages form the heart of the resort. From the outside, they make a striking accent in the landscape with dark wood and metal elements and black window frames.
Inside, you'll find the opposite: bright rooms, lots of wood, natural materials, and custom-made fixtures that make optimal use of the available space. In addition, carefully placed color accents on chairs or shelves bring freshness to the muted natural tones.
Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the green of the meadows and the blue of the sky directly into the house. No matter where you sit, at the dining table, on the sofa, or still snuggled in bed.
Comfortable living – in every season
Each cottage offers space for four people, and some houses, thanks to an additional attic with a sofa bed, can accommodate up to six guests. There are two bedrooms, a modern bathroom with a shower, and an open living and dining area with a fully equipped kitchenette (induction hob, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave – everything you need for relaxed self-catering days).
And because the Baltic Sea is worth a trip not only in midsummer, all houses are heated and air-conditioned. House 08B even boasts a private sauna, perfect for those who want to treat themselves to their own little spa experience.
Each cottage has a terrace with a garden view. Sit with a cup of coffee among birdsong in the morning, fire up the grill in the evening, and cook fresh fish.
Pool, Whirlpool & Sauna under the open sky
In the garden, a heated outdoor pool awaits water lovers big and small. If you prefer it even warmer, make yourself comfortable in the whirlpool, in summer under the open sky, in winter perhaps even with a view of a snow-covered meadow. There is also a communal Finnish sauna, whose lighting can be individually adjusted.
A place where families can breathe freely
What makes Skarpa Resort special is its relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. The host family lives on the premises themselves and personally takes care of their guests, warmly, attentively, and with an eye for detail.
There's plenty of space for children to play: a large sandbox with fine beach sand, swings, a play area, and outdoor fitness equipment. Inside, board games, puzzles, and books await. High chairs and cribs are available, as is a washing machine – always important with small children!
The sea at your doorstep
Ustronie Morskie beach has been awarded the Blue Flag multiple times – a sign of particularly clean water and sustainable tourism. The wide, bright sandy beach is a gift in every season: barefoot in summer or a bundled-up beach walk in winter.
What else is there to do in the area around Skarpa Resort?
Golfers will find a nine-hole course in nearby Rusowo, and day-trippers can quickly reach Kolberg, just ten kilometers away, with its harbor and impressive salt grotto. And for those who love authenticity, stop by the small fishing harbor in the morning and watch the boats being lowered into the water by cable. At the Skansen Chleba bread baking museum, you can bake traditional sourdough bread – an experience that especially children will remember for a long time.
Everything you need, even without a car
The nice thing is: you can safely leave your car behind. A grocery store, cafes, restaurants, as well as a fish fry and smokehouse are all within easy walking distance.
From Berlin, it's just under 290 kilometers to get here, from Hamburg about 550 – close enough for a long weekend, far enough for a real vacation feeling.
