Five years at Bades Huk, five DTV stars for our Beach Apartments, and five paws for our dog-friendly vacation rentals: To mark this anniversary, our vacation resort on the Baltic Sea has a special reason to celebrate. The German Tourism Association has once again awarded the 77 Beach Apartments in Bades Huk its highest rating.
Since opening in the summer of 2021, Bades Huk in Hohen Wieschendorf on Wismar Bay has been synonymous with high-quality vacation apartments on the Baltic Sea, relaxing vacations by the sea, and the perfect blend of personal freedom and comfortable resort amenities.
Just in time for its fifth anniversary, this commitment to quality has once again been confirmed: All 77 Beach Apartments have once again been awarded five DTV stars, earning them the highest rating from the German Tourism Association.
5-Star Vacation Rentals on the Baltic Sea Near Wismar
The German Tourism Association (DTV) classifies vacation apartments and vacation homes according to uniform quality criteria applied nationwide. Trained inspectors evaluate the accommodations on site, assessing factors such as amenities, condition, layout, and comfort. Depending on the results, one to five stars are awarded.
Heide-Stefanie Wolf was in Bades Huk for the recent inspection. The tourism expert heads the tourist information office in Boltenhagen and the DTV Classification department for Northwest Mecklenburg.
In addition to the high-quality amenities in the vacation rentals, the inspection also paid particular attention to their upkeep and condition.
"You wouldn't guess the facility is five years old"
In the most recent DTV classification, the Beach Apartments were consistently rated as “as good as new” across all relevant evaluation criteria.
DTV inspector Heide-Stefanie Wolf summed up her impression as follows: “You wouldn’t guess the facility and the vacation apartments are five years old. Kudos to the team.”
For us, this praise is a special honor. Opening a high-quality vacation resort is one thing. Maintaining that level of quality even after many years and numerous stays is the real challenge. That’s why our team at Bades Huk takes great care every day to maintain the apartments and the entire resort. Our goal is for guests to experience their vacation apartment—even after five years—as if Bades Huk had just opened.
Combining the comforts of a vacation rental with those of a hotel
Another particularly positive aspect noted during the review was Bades Huk’s consistent design concept. High-quality materials, modern amenities, and clean architecture characterize the vacation apartments and the entire resort. Heide-Stefanie Wolf highlighted the combination of amenities, location, and additional resort services as a special feature.
That is precisely the concept behind Bades Huk: Guests enjoy the freedom and spaciousness of their own vacation rental while also having access to many amenities typically found in a hotel.
In the morning, for example, the day begins with breakfast at the Marina Café by the Sea. Afterward, you can head to the Baltic Sea beach—just a few steps away—or to the adjacent golf course, or take a trip to Wismar and along the Mecklenburg Baltic Sea coast. Afterward, the resort offers a sauna, infrared loungers, and a fitness area.
Vacation rentals, breakfast, wellness, fitness, golf, the beach, a playground, and a variety of events come together at Bades Huk to create a vacation you can tailor entirely to your own pace—all complemented by services such as a front desk, a shop, a bike station, SUP and beach chair rentals, a bread roll delivery service, and much more.
The DTV inspector was also particularly pleasantly surprised by this comprehensive offering.
5 Paws for Dog-Friendly Vacation Rentals on the Baltic Sea
Our dog-friendly beach apartments have also once again been awarded 5 Pfoten Excellent. It’s not just about the amenities in the vacation rental. Heide-Stefanie Wolf particularly emphasized that the dog-friendly atmosphere extends throughout the entire stay, from arrival at the front desk to the amenities in the apartment.
A dog blanket, bowls, and other little extras are provided. The natural setting right on the Baltic Sea coast also offers ideal conditions for long walks with your dog. This ensures that your vacation together at the Baltic Sea will be relaxing for both you and your four-legged friend from the very first moment.
A Vacation on Wismar Bay: Nature, Beach, and Comfort
Bades Huk is located in Hohen Wieschendorf, between Wismar and Boltenhagen, right on Wismar Bay. The resort features 77 beach apartments with one to three bedrooms, as well as the Marina Hotel with twelve rooms.
Depending on the apartment, guests can enjoy a dune terrace, a balcony, or a rooftop terrace. The beach, marina, and golf course are right next to the resort. The resort’s amenities also include a sauna, a fitness center, breakfast at the Marina Café by the sea, a shop, and numerous options for excursions along the Baltic Sea coast.
This makes Bades Huk ideal for both a short getaway on the Baltic Sea and longer vacations with couples, families, friends, or your dog.
Quality you can still feel even after five years
In her daily work, DTV inspector Heide-Stefanie Wolf has also noticed that travelers are placing increasing importance on quality and comfort. At the same time, many guests are looking for a combination of peace and quiet, nature, relaxation, and additional amenities.
For us, this renewed 5-star rating confirms one thing above all else: Our standards have remained unchanged since we opened in 2021.
“For us, quality isn’t something you create just once at the grand opening. Our goal is for our guests to see and feel it anew every single day,” says Silva Eddicks, director of Bades Huk. “The fact that our apartments still look as good as new even after five years is, above all, a testament to our entire on-site team.”
And perhaps the best takeaway from the review? “I’d love to go on vacation here too!” said Heide-Stefanie Wolf.
