Cheap hotels in Timmendorfer Strand are few and far between

But with the great attractiveness of the holiday region, the biggest problem also comes to light: cheap hotels in Timmendorfer Strand are particularly difficult to find. Due to the rather upscale style of the place, accommodation in Timmendorfer Strand is relatively expensive. Especially in high season, there are not many options to do anything about the high room prices in Timmendorfer Strand. You can only book well in advance, choose the off-season for the trip or choose accommodation outside of the town. All surrounding towns such as Niendorf/Baltic Sea, Scharbeutz, Haffkrug, Sierksdorf, Travemünde and Neustadt in Holstein are probably a little cheaper. Finding cheap hotels in Timmendorfer Strand, however, is more of a matter of luck.

Hotel tips for Timmendorfer Strand and the surrounding area – How to find the right accommodation and save money

We at Just Wanderlust live right by the sea. For this reason, we can give you first-hand hotel tips for the Bay of Lübeck. We know how you can save a lot when booking your accommodation in Timmendorfer Strand. If your Baltic Sea holiday is cheap, it's even more relaxing! You definitely want two things: a really great hotel or holiday apartment, as close to the water as possible and the accommodation should also be cheap. Sounds impossible? But it is not! This is how you can get to your Timmendorfer Strand Hotel or a cozy apartment cheaply!

1. Especially in the high season on the Baltic Sea: book hotels and apartments in good time

If you are looking for a hotel or holiday apartment in the Bay of Lübeck in Scharbeutz or Timmendorfer Strand during the high season - between June 15th and September 15th - you should book well in advance. Many accommodations are fully booked months in advance because demand has increased significantly in recent years. Hotels and apartments located directly by the sea are in particularly high demand. But many accommodations are now well booked for the rest of the year too. The Baltic Sea coast is now developing – quite rightly – into a year-round destination for holidaymakers from all over Germany, Austria and Switzerland. A Baltic Sea vacation in spring in particular has its charm.

Basically, it does not matter what time of year you want to travel. You should book in advance in any case! For early bookers, there are often good deals during the holidays. For when traveling by air during the holidays, the expensive flight is the sticking point. If you drive to the Baltic Sea by car, you will find that even in busy times there is still some room for maneuver in the prices. Provided that the booking does not take place at the last minute.

2. Inexpensive Timmendorfer Strand Hotels and Apartments: It depends on the location a

As is so often the case, the choice of the Timmendorfer Strand Hotel depends on the location: the closer you are to the town center and the beach, the more expensive the accommodation tends to be. In the center of Timmendorfer Strand there are more upscale holiday apartments, some of which can be very expensive per night. The more compromises vacationers can make, the cheaper the accommodation will be. Hotels in the area around Timmendorfer Strand are often much cheaper to get. In Niendorf / Ostsee, for example, there are also a number of dignified and comfortable living options along the spa promenade, which with a little luck can be booked cheaper.

The situation is similar in the other direction: an apartment in the center of Scharbeutz with a direct sea view can sometimes be obtained quite cheaply. The further you go along the Bay of Lübeck, the more likely you are to find a cheap hotel near the beach. You can often find accommodation quite cheaply in Haffkrug and Sierksdorf. These possibilities are likely to decrease further in the near future, at least in the immediate vicinity of the sea.

New, luxurious accommodations are being built along the entire coastline in the Bay of Lübeck, which will probably be significantly more expensive. As a rule of thumb you could say: If you are looking for a hotel or apartment in Timmendorfer Strand and are looking for reasonably priced accommodation, you should look in the surrounding area. However, if you are looking for a centrally located apartment or hotel right in the center, you will most likely have to dig a little deeper into your pockets.

FAQs Baltic Sea vacation – the most important questions and answers

Where is the most beautiful place on the Baltic Sea?

The correct question should be: Where on the Baltic Sea is the most beautiful “for you”? Because the German Baltic Sea coast has so many beautiful areas where you can vacation all year round. If you want chic and hustle and bustle, drive to the Lübeck Bay to Scharbeutz or Timmendorfer Strand. If you are looking for natural beaches, go to Fehmarn or Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. There are beautiful beaches and architecture on Rügen, for example. You can also go on cheap holidays in the east - for example in Fischland Darß-Zingst. The popular hot spots like the Bay of Lübeck are becoming more and more expensive - there you can have a good wellness holiday and luxury holiday. Overall, however, the Baltic coast has something to offer for every taste and budget.

What does a holiday apartment on the Baltic Sea cost?

From my own experience, I know that you can get a holiday apartment on the Baltic Sea for around 30 euros per night. After that, however, you have to search a little and often book directly with a private landlord. The prices vary widely. If you book through portals, you usually have to expect at least 70 to 100 euros per night for a reasonable apartment - and above all book in good time, because holiday apartments and holiday homes on the Baltic Sea are often booked out months in advance. Of course, prices vary depending on where you book and what season you want to travel.

Which beach is the most beautiful on the Baltic Sea?

Also the question "Which beach is the most beautiful on the Baltic Sea?" cannot be answered in such a general way. Sure you can make a ranking of the most beautiful beaches on the Baltic Sea, but that would not do justice to many other beaches. You should rather narrow it down to your preferred holiday region: "Which is the most beautiful beach on Fehmarn?" - "Which is the most beautiful beach in the Bay of Lübeck?" In this way one comes much closer to the individually fitting answer. I personally find the beach in Sierksdorf very beautiful - for me it is the most beautiful beach in the Baltic Sea.

Why vacation on the Baltic Sea?

Why should you take a vacation on the Baltic Sea? Very simple: The sea can be reached quickly by car from all over Central Europe. And on site you can expect clear water, idyllic beaches, a Baltic atmosphere and great accommodations. If you are a bit away from the typical tourist hot spots, with a bit of luck you will even get some untouched nature. Overall, a holiday in the Baltic Sea is also quite cheap - especially in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. You can leave as much money in the popular holiday regions as you would on a two-week luxury holiday on the Mediterranean.

Where is it cheapest on the Baltic Sea?

The Baltic coast in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is rather cheap. Between Boltenhagen, Insel Poel, Fischland Darß-Zingst, Rügen and Usedom you can spend relatively cheap holidays on the Baltic Sea. If you want something cheaper, you can go on vacation in Mecklenburg Switzerland and then simply plan a few day trips to the sea.

Which is better - North Sea or Baltic Sea?

Basically, it is a matter of taste whether you like the North Sea or the Baltic Sea better. Personally, I prefer the Baltic Sea because the inland sea is a bit more protected, the water is not quite as salty when swimming and bathing and the tides with ebb and flow are not as pronounced. In addition, the landscape of the Baltic Sea coast tends to be a little more varied and the Baltic Sea coast in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in particular is a little cheaper. But you don't have the endlessly wide beaches of the North Sea on the Baltic Sea. Whether the North Sea or the Baltic Sea is better is also a matter of taste. Both seas have something for themselves.

Which beach on the Baltic Sea?

Also the question "Which beach on the Baltic Sea?" cannot be answered in such a general way. Sure you can make a ranking of the most beautiful beaches on the Baltic Sea, but that would not do justice to many other beaches. You should rather narrow it down to your preferred holiday region: "Which is the most beautiful beach on Fehmarn?" - "Which is the most beautiful beach in the Bay of Lübeck?" In this way one comes much closer to the individually fitting answer. I personally find the beach in Sierksdorf very beautiful - for me it is the most beautiful beach in the Baltic Sea.

Where is it warmest on the Baltic Sea?

Warm is more of a relative term on the Baltic Sea, as it is usually a little fresher by the sea. In summer, temperatures only rise above 20 degrees on a few days. It is always a little cooler on the Baltic Sea than inland. It can only get really hot right on the coast in extreme summer. I would therefore not describe any place on the Baltic Sea coast as really warm. However, if you want to have some sun in the cooler temperatures, you are right on Fehmarn or Rügen - both places are among the sunniest regions in Germany.

Where is the most beautiful place on the Baltic Sea with children?

I would definitely spend a Baltic Sea holiday in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with the kids. Anyone who spends their Baltic Sea holiday with children in the Bay of Lübeck in Scharbeutz or Timmendorfer Strand can pay a small fortune for three to five people. You can also book a two-week package tour to the Mediterranean and at least be relatively sure that you will get plenty of sun and warmth. Fischland Darß-Zingst, for example, is ideal for a holiday in the Baltic Sea with children, where you have kilometers of wonderful beaches and find relatively cheap accommodation.

Which is the most beautiful island in the Baltic Sea?

All Baltic Sea islands have something for themselves and each has its own advantages. In my opinion, the most beautiful Baltic Sea islands are Fehmarn and Rügen. The overall package is just right on both islands. You have beautiful beaches, great accommodations and lots to do. Both islands are ideal so that there is no boredom on vacation.

What should one have seen on the Baltic Sea?

There is so much to do along the Baltic Sea coast. You can bathe and swim, ride a bike, hike in the hinterland, take a boat out, stand up paddling, have delicious food in many places, go to the thermal baths in bad weather, visit a farm and discover many sights. You should definitely have seen the chalk cliffs on Rügen. You can also stroll in Timmendorfer Strand or Scharbeutz, take the ferry from Travemünde to Scandinavia, discover natural beaches on Fehmarn or explore lively cities such as Lübeck, Kiel, Rostock or Stralsund.

What is beautiful Scharbeutz or Timmendorfer Strand?

Timmendorfer Strand and Scharbeutz are located in the Bay of Lübeck and, as neighboring towns, are right next to each other. Basically, both places don't take much. Unfortunately, the places have become very hyped in recent years and become a destination for strong mass tourism. Timmendorfer Strand tends to be more suitable for older people, while Scharbeutz appeals to the younger ones. In principle, however, you cannot say which of the two is more beautiful. Both places have something for themselves. Basically, you should like the hustle and bustle and chic.

Why is the Baltic Sea so popular?

Why is the Baltic Sea so popular? Very simple: The sea can be reached quickly by car from Germany and all of Central Europe. And on site you can expect clear water, idyllic beaches, a Baltic atmosphere and great accommodations. If you are a bit away from the typical tourist hot spots, with a bit of luck you will even get some untouched nature. Overall, a holiday in the Baltic Sea is also quite cheap - especially in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. You can leave as much money in the popular holiday regions as you would on a two-week luxury holiday on the Mediterranean.

Where is it most beautiful in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania?

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is one of the most beautiful holiday regions in Germany. There are numerous great areas to discover throughout the state. In my opinion it is most beautiful, of course, by the sea - that is, on the Baltic Sea coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. I personally like Rügen very much, in my opinion it is the most beautiful place there in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Which is cheaper - North Sea or Baltic Sea?

It's a shame, of course, because the prices vary according to location and season as well as the respective provider. A holiday in Germany on the coast tends to be the cheapest in Mecklenburg Western Pomerania. And accordingly one can say that the Baltic Sea is cheaper than the North Sea.

Is it warm on the Baltic Sea?

According to my personal coldness, it is not - or rarely - warm at the Baltic Sea. Warm is more of a relative term on the Baltic Sea, as it is usually a little fresher by the sea. In summer, temperatures only rise above 20 degrees on a few days. It is always a little cooler on the Baltic Sea than inland. It can only get really hot right on the coast in extreme summer. I would therefore not describe any place on the Baltic Sea coast as really warm. However, if you want to have some sun in the cooler temperatures, you are right on Fehmarn or Rügen - both places are among the sunniest regions in Germany.

Is Scharbeutz beautiful?

My personal opinion about it: Scharbeutz is a very nice place. I lived there for a couple of years. In recent years, however, the resort in the Bay of Lübeck has unfortunately become more of a destination for mass tourism and is degenerating more and more into an overpriced fancy holiday resort, whose construction boom is driving real estate prices and rents to unaffordable heights. On the one hand, Scharbeutz has become more modern and visually appealing, but on the other hand it has lost a lot of authenticity, is becoming more and more expensive and is now overcrowded in summer, but also all year round, because it has received such a strong media presence and is hyped. From then on, Scharbeutz is still very beautiful.
