Christmas by the sea is an idea that is gaining more and more popularity every year. Instead of spending days cooking, cleaning, and shopping, you can choose peace, fresh air, and a unique atmosphere by the Baltic Sea. Hotels offer a festive setting, a traditional Christmas Eve dinner, and time for true relaxation with your loved ones. Check which seaside towns create a particularly magical atmosphere and how to prepare for your trip.

Why spend Christmas by the sea?

Although many people associate a stay by the Baltic Sea with vacations, in December it reveals an equally interesting face – calm, quiet, and full of charm. Walks on the sandy beach, the sound of the waves, and fresh, iodine-rich air help to relax and gain perspective.

Christmas in such surroundings becomes a true rest – without rush, cooking, and everyday duties. Moreover, hotels during the holiday season offer everything needed to create an unforgettable atmosphere: traditional dishes, a Christmas Eve dinner, decorations, caroling, and numerous attractions.

Spending Christmas this way allows you to:

escape from the holiday hustle and gain time for yourself;
spend Christmas surrounded by nature, listening to the sound of the waves;
combine family holidays with relaxation in the SPA area and peaceful walks;
breathe in the sea air, which supports immunity in the winter period;
feel the Christmas spirit without stress and preparations.

Where is it worth spending Christmas by the sea?

Seaside towns in winter can surprise you – they feature festive illuminations and fragrant markets, but also empty beaches that have a completely different charm at this time of year. Everyone will find something for themselves: from quiet resorts where silence and closeness to nature prevail, to larger cities where the festive atmosphere blends with culture and attractions.

Ustronie Morskie

In Ustronie Morskie, it is easy to slow down and feel true peace. The beaches are almost empty, the waves crash on the shore, and the air has a freshness that is hard to find elsewhere at this time of year. Walking along the promenade or the cliff coast, you can observe the sea in its natural, rough form. Christmas in such a setting gains a completely different dimension – instead of rush and long preparations, you can devote yourself to rest and spend this special time with your loved ones.

And this is exactly the atmosphere you can expect when choosing Christmas by the sea at Hotel Lambert Medical SPA – a four-star facility located right by the beach. As part of the package, guests can expect a stay in comfortable, spacious rooms, a festive Christmas Eve dinner, buffet breakfasts and dinners with live cooking, music concerts, and activities for children.

Unlimited access to the SPA area and pools makes every day a pleasant combination of relaxation and joy, while carol evenings by the fireplace and a meeting with Santa Claus complete the whole, creating a family, warm atmosphere. Additionally, numerous facilities for children await here: a toddler club, game room, entertainment zones, and a large playground in the immediate vicinity of the hotel.

Kołobrzeg

Another town to consider when planning a Christmas stay by the sea is Kołobrzeg – located just a few kilometers from Ustronie Morskie. It is a popular spa town by the Baltic Sea that does not lose its charm in winter – the promenade, pier, and seaside park then gain a magical character.

A walk among illuminated trees and the scent of sea air is an excellent way to relax, but Kołobrzeg also encourages discovering Christmas attractions. At the Christmas market, you can try regional dishes and buy handmade decorations, and in the evenings listen to carol concerts or visit cozy cafés in the city center.

The distance from Ustronie Morskie to Kołobrzeg city center is about 10 kilometers, so you can combine quiet rest with urban attractions. It is a perfect complement to Christmas in Ustronie Morskie – a visit to Kołobrzeg lets you feel the city rhythm, and then you can simply return to the silence, peace, and closeness of the sea.

Międzyzdroje

Heading towards the western part of the coast, you can stop in Międzyzdroje – a place that retains its charm in winter but in a much quieter form. Instead of tourist buzz, you mostly hear the sound of the sea and snow creaking underfoot. The beach is empty, and the promenade takes on an almost nostalgic character.

This is a place where you can truly relax – without rush, with a cup of hot tea in hand and a view of the waves crashing on the shore. Międzyzdroje is surrounded by Wolin National Park, making nature within reach. During the holiday season, it is worth taking a walk on one of the forest trails leading to viewpoints with panoramas of the sea and cliff coast.

Łeba

On the opposite side of the coast, in its central part, lies Łeba – a town that reveals a completely different face in winter. When the summer bustle calms down, there is peace, the scent of pine forests, and the sound of the waves. It is a good place for those seeking tranquility and closeness to nature during the holidays.

Near Łeba is the Słowiński National Park, known for its moving dunes and picturesque lakes. Winter walks on empty beaches or Nordic walking along forest paths have a unique atmosphere – the air is clean, and the landscape is raw and beautiful in its simplicity. Even a short stay in the December sun can bring true regeneration.

Tri-City

A completely different face of Christmas by the sea is offered by the Tri-City. Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia are lively even in winter and impress with their holiday setting in December. The streets are lit with thousands of lights, and the seaside boulevards and old towns turn into fragrant Christmas markets. It is a good option for those who like to combine relaxation with urban energy and cultural attractions.

In Gdańsk, you can visit one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Poland, listen to carol concerts in historic churches, or take a walk down the Long Market. In Sopot – sit in a café with a view of the pier and the sea, and in Gdynia – stroll along the boulevard and visit one of the restaurants serving fresh fish.

How to prepare for a holiday trip to the sea?

A holiday trip to the sea does not require much preparation, but a well-planned trip will allow you to fully enjoy your rest. First of all, it is worth thinking about booking in advance – Christmas packages in popular hotels often sell out as early as November.

And when you pack your suitcase, consider how you want to spend this time. If you plan long walks along the seashore, comfortable, warm clothing and waterproof shoes will come in handy. You might need elegant attire for the Christmas Eve dinner at the hotel, along with a few small items to create a festive mood. It is good to have with you:

a warm jacket, hat, and gloves for winter walks;
comfortable shoes that are moisture resistant;
elegant outfit for the Christmas Eve dinner;
a small gift or decoration to remind of home holidays;
a book, a blanket, or a thermal mug – for moments of relaxation in the room;
board games or favorite toys – if traveling with children, useful for shared evenings;
a camera or phone with a good camera to capture holiday memories.
