Villa Ruhleben - history meets Baltic happiness

The location could hardly be more beautiful: To the south lies a spacious garden with mature trees, while on the north side, you can walk directly across the dike through a small wooded area to the fine-sand Nordstrand beach in Prerow. The Baltic Sea is just a few minutes’ walk away—quiet, vast, and unspoiled.

The villa sits slightly elevated on a small hill and retains its historic character. High-ceilinged rooms are insulated with clay plaster; original hardwood floors and doors have been carefully restored; wooden windows have been custom-made based on historical models; and the original balconies have been reopened. The result is a holiday home on the Darß Peninsula that brings history to life while offering contemporary living comfort.

In total, the villa features four stylishly designed bedrooms, each with comfortable double beds. In addition, a high-quality sleeper sofa (160 x 200 cm) in the living area provides space for two more people—ideal for larger families or getaways with friends.

The heart of Villa Ruhleben is a light-filled addition featuring an open-concept living and dining kitchen. Large windows open up a view of the garden and create a central gathering place for family and friends. The adjacent terrace invites you to enjoy breakfast in the morning sun or to relax as the day comes to a close—breathing in the sea air and feeling like you’ve truly arrived.

Villa Ruhleben is not a typical holiday home in Prerow, but a place with soul. A home that bridges the past and the present and creates space for new memories. Whether it’s walks on the beach, bike rides through the Darß Forest, or relaxing hours in the garden—this holiday home in Prerow uniquely combines nature, nostalgia, and North German serenity.
