Island of the Senses – Nature Hotel & Lake Chalets - Vacation Homes with Apartments by the Water

 

It’s time.
Time for a life in balance.

 

A place where water, open spaces, and silence come together. Where days are not dictated by schedules, but by your own feelings. The Island of the Senses is not a traditional vacation destination—it is a retreat for people who travel mindfully, want to take a deep breath, and recharge their batteries.


Located directly on Saxony’s most beautiful lake, with crystal-clear water, a wide horizon, and an exclusive, secluded setting, it offers a vacation experience that touches the soul: erdend. lebendig. natürlich.

A unique place of power by the lake


Surrounded by the four elements—water, earth, air, and light—the Island of the Senses offers a special space for awareness, clarity, and vitality. Architecture and nature blend harmoniously; large glass surfaces open up views across the lake, while natural materials create warmth and a sense of security.


Panoramic views of the opposite shore, a 16.5-kilometer lakeside trail, and the immediate proximity to the water define this place just as much as its peaceful, sheltered atmosphere. Here, space is created—for inner balance, for new perspectives, for true arrival.

Staying on the Insel der Sinne

 

Two living environments. A sense of belonging.

 

Nature Hotel by the Lake

Comfort, service, and immediate proximity to the water

 

Our 4-star superior nature hotel is situated right on the shores of the lake. From some suites, just a few steps separate you from the refreshing water. Culinary delights, wellness, yoga, and personalized service create a lively yet relaxed vacation atmosphere—ideal for anyone who appreciates service and likes to go with the flow.

 

SeeDorf – Exclusive Lake Chalets

Vacation homes and apartments by the lake

 

Secluded and sublime, like a small coastal cove, lies our SeeDorf. The detached lake chalets are private retreats with their own sauna, fireplace, and spacious terraces or balconies. Here, time flows at your own pace—calm, free, and connected to nature. All offerings of the Island of the Senses are available to you upon request.

Wellness & Relaxation by the Water

A special highlight of the Island of the Senses is the expansive wellness beach right on the lake. Enjoying the sauna with a view of the water, cooling off in the lake, relaxation areas with panoramic views, a crackling fire, and a graduation tower all promote deep relaxation—until midnight.
A heated pool with a counter-current system, personalized massages using high-quality natural skincare lines such as Pharmos Natur and Dr. Hauschka, and lovingly designed relaxation rooms make wellness here a holistic experience.

 

Exercise, Mindfulness & Inspiration

 

Regular yoga and relaxation classes, yoga retreats at the 4 Elemente Loft or right on the beach, bike tours around the lake, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, or canoeing—exercise and mindfulness find their natural place on the Island of the Senses.
A cozy library, art and culture in nearby Görlitz, and quiet retreats invite you to let new thoughts take shape.

 



Indulgence & Cuisine – The SeeLounge

 

In our SeeLounge restaurant, regional cuisine, mindful eating, and fine dining come together. On the lakeside terrace and at the beach bar, you can enjoy light dishes, selected wines, and the view across the water—relaxed, authentic, and sensual.
