When thinking about a “successful weekend by the sea,” each of us has a different idea. Some seek peace and relaxation, others prefer party madness, and yet others dream of a romantic time for two or spending time with family.
We have different needs and priorities, so that's no surprise! On the other hand, a weekend is often just 2 days, which we want to fulfill as best as possible, no matter what we plan. When planning, we sometimes lack ideas or are not sure what to choose… after all, it is only, but also as much as 2 days. Some will lack time to fully realize their plan, others will complain about boredom. The key is to find a golden mean and ensure good fun for all participants of the trip!
So we come with a handful of inspirations on how to plan a weekend by the sea depending on different needs. We suggest what activities to choose and what to pay attention to in order to fully enjoy your rest by the Baltic Sea.
Weekend with children by the sea
It's worth remembering that many hotels and resorts offer special weekend deals, not only by the sea, but now we will focus on them. Not everyone pays attention to them when planning a weekend stay, and that's a mistake! It's worth reviewing the available options that will make our rest even more successful. What's included in the weekend package by the sea depends on the property. In some hotels, it will be the possibility of late check-out, which will give us a few extra hours of relaxation and a later wake-up. Or an attractive weekend by the sea with meals, so we don't have to worry about anything, which allows us to focus solely on pleasures. Other properties prepare a package of special attractions, discounts or free entries to interesting places, welcome gifts, or special Spa and Wellness offers. If we don't care about a specific location and don't yet know where we will go for a weekend by the sea, it is worth considering simply finding the most interesting and best-suited option or stay package. The packages we offer can be found on our website in the "Special offers" tab.

Most of the packages we offer also cover weekends, allowing us to provide you with more choices. However, we will always encourage you to take a weekend during the week. There are fewer guests in the hotel then, so the freedom to use attractions and services is much greater.
For many parents, regardless of experience, a successful vacation with little ones can be a challenge. Organizing time and balancing the needs of all family members is not always easy. So we suggest how to ensure that even a short vacation with children is satisfying for everyone.
For more tips on staying with children by the sea, we refer you to our guide, which suggests how to plan a successful holiday with children. When planning a family weekend by the sea, it's also worth using these tips!
And by the way, you can surprise your child by buying our original fairy tale, more about which here: https://www.gwiazdamorza.com/resort/aktualnosci/legendy-spadajacych-gwiazd-czyli-bajka-o-tym-co-nam-lezy-na-sercu.
Many children have already tested it, and we have only positive reviews.
Sometimes a weekend with a child by the sea can also have a special form when the little one is still in the belly. Such a little one and their mother will also benefit from a weekend at the hotel. For expecting mothers, we have several pleasant treatments and even training in the SPA, where future parents can learn the Shantala massage method, which might come in handy when the baby arrives. We wrote about Spa during pregnancy here.
Weekend relaxation with friends or acquaintances takes on a completely different dimension than the one we want to plan with little ones. In this case, everyone wants to chill out, relax, and have a good time! For outings with friends, we recommend apartments by the sea, and for the most demanding: a luxury apartment with a sea view – this form of accommodation is the most comfortable, provides plenty of freedom and space to spend time together, which is what everyone wants during such a trip. Spending quality time together lets us relax and take care of our relationships. Especially when it's a girls' trip to the sea. Here we even have a special offer prepared: https://www.gwiazdamorza.com/pakiety/rozkochaj-sie-w-instytucie-spa.
When going to the sea for a weekend, attractions can't be missing! How about a weekend where Sky Bar and a rooftop pool with a sea view await you? You're welcome! Or do you want to chill in the Beach Club? No problem! Additionally, saunas, indoor pools, jacuzzis, a wide Spa offer including... SPA Party, climbing wall, numerous sports and fitness classes, excellent cuisine, and comfortable hotel rooms or apartments are waiting for you, all right on the beach and the Baltic Sea! Weekend relaxation with Gwiazda Morza tastes best!
For many, a stay by the sea, even a short one, is inseparably connected with physical activity. In summer, it may be various water sports such as kitesurfing; in winter, sea swimming or Nordic Walking. Throughout the year, many possibilities for active rest await by the Baltic Sea. Remember, however, that practicing sports outdoors is not always possible. On the Polish coast, the weather can change very suddenly, much more abruptly than in other parts of the country. Storms, squalls, and gusty winds effectively prevent outdoor activities. We therefore recommend preparing for all eventualities and choosing weekend offers by the sea that, besides activity packages (e.g., yoga or jogging on the beach with an instructor), also have facilities for indoor sports. A weekend at a hotel with a pool is a good idea, but an even better idea is a weekend at a hotel with a pool and many other attractions. Climbing wall, professional gym, fitness rooms, sports classes, personal training – discover sports possibilities at Gwiazda Morza!
A picturesque sunset, a walk on the beach with your other half, a candlelight dinner... Romantic moments for two by the sea have been very popular for years. There are many occasions and even more ideas. The important thing is to plan a romantic weekend according to your preferences. Hotel facilities offer a wide range of possibilities – from welcome gifts, through dinner for two, to special Spa treatments. Gwiazda Morza goes a step further and offers a Private Spa zone for couples, unique rituals for lovers, and an open-air dinner on the hotel rooftop with a wonderful view of the Baltic Sea. A romantic weekend by the sea under a sky full of stars is exceptionally pleasant at Gwiazda Morza, as you can experience when weather allows. But if the weather does not cooperate or privacy is more important, you can order room service, a fruit platter with a bottle of champagne, or a special occasion cake.
“Let's spend a long weekend by the sea!” – thought… almost everyone. Or at least a large group of tourists who go to the sea in large numbers during every long weekend. May Day, the Feast of Corpus Christi, around August 15th, or even the November weekend are dates when we can expect increased interest in stays by the Baltic. For this reason, regardless of our expectations, it is necessary to plan the rest in advance. Of course, organizing a trip a few days ahead is possible. But the more requirements we have, the more difficult this may be, as our list will include more criteria to meet. If we want a specific kind of rest, let's plan the long weekend well in advance. This will save nerves and stress, thus allowing the kind of relaxation we most desire. At the same time, we encourage you to visit Gwiazda Morza off-season. This solution brings many benefits. Fewer people, lower prices, and experiencing nature resting after the season. Autumn walks in the park, winter walks on the beach, or spring bike trips are unforgettable sensory experiences.
One of the favorite and most frequently chosen forms of relaxation by guests is a spa weekend by the sea. This solution is a great idea all year round and is independent of weather conditions, so we can choose it also in spring, autumn, or winter, not only in summer, when the Baltic is the most popular tourist destination in Poland. The wide range of possibilities available at Gwiazda Morza gives freedom of choice and allows you to pick the perfect set of treatments tailored to your expectations. There are also specialized and therapeutic options, including physiotherapy, e.g., manual therapy or sports massage. However, it's worth remembering that due to high demand, you should book individual treatments in advance. You can do this while already at the hotel or before arrival. If you expect to use your chosen activity spontaneously, you might be disappointed – especially during peak season when demand is the highest.
And there is a lot to enjoy. Our Spa Institute is not only staffed by highly qualified specialists, cosmetologists, physiotherapists, or instructors who undergo annual training to expand their knowledge and skills. It is also a rich offer of treatments hard to find elsewhere, such as: Kobido face massage, Malaysian massage, mineral treatments based on natural magnesium, Polynesian ritual, nanoplasty, nanocreatine, and Botox for hair within Hair Spa, where each visit includes a relaxing head massage. The entire offer can be found in our Spa Menu.
For many, going on vacation with a dog or cat is not easy because many accommodation places do not accept pets, which, after all, are an important part of our lives and for some have the status of family members. However, in our resort, you don't have to worry because Gwiazda Morza is pet-friendly!
With us, you can plan a successful weekend with a dog by the sea because we have prepared a guide for pet owners: With a dog to a hotel by the sea? Absolutely!, which presents the most important information about vacationing with pets in Władysławowo. It includes information about which beaches are dog-friendly, where the nearest veterinarian and dog grooming salon are, and many other useful tips and advice. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with it to prepare for an unforgettable trip with your beloved pet!
When spring arrives and nature wakes up, a rest by the Baltic Sea is a great idea to regenerate after winter and recharge batteries. New reserves of energy and vitality effectively improve mood and provide motivation to act. A spring weekend at a hotel by the sea is worth enriching with gentle physical effort - we recommend beach walks or Nordic Walking. Spring is also a period when many hotels prepare special regenerative packages. Some of them also organize slimming or cleansing holidays, which enjoy great interest.
We warmly recommend the package: https://www.gwiazdamorza.com/pakiety/regeneracja-nad-morzem. We believe in the philosophy that building immunity, cleansing the body, slimming, and shaping the figure are interdependent. Our specialists will gladly select a set of solutions tailored to the possibilities of a given body.
Interestingly, in March and April at Gwiazda Morza, you can catch the period of the lowest prices of the year. For some, a definite attraction is also spending Easter at the hotel. It's an interesting experience and a break from home holiday chores.
The hottest date in spring is, however, May Day, during which many tourists come to the sea. As we mentioned earlier, if you plan to rest during the long weekend, it's worth taking care of it earlier to save yourself nerves and be sure it will be successful.
Vacation by the Baltic, even a short one after the summer season, is an ideal option for those who value peace and freedom. Starting from September, after the holidays, the number of tourists decreases on the Polish coast. This is an excellent time to plan an autumn weekend by the sea – in September, temperatures are still quite high, the weather is not as changeable as in mid-summer, so conditions for rest are excellent. You can even swim in the Baltic – this option is not only for the brave who are not afraid of low water temperatures. The average water temperature of the Baltic in September is higher in many regions than in June! You can spend Indian summer wonderfully, with the same attractions as in July.
An autumn weekend by the sea also has its charms in later months when the weather changes, and temperatures drop. In October or November, there is more iodine in the air than in summer due to a larger number of storms and stronger winds. If we want to benefit from the Baltic climate's advantages, it's worth going to the coast in autumn. One of the more popular dates is the November weekend – you will meet more tourists by the sea then, though not as many as in summer. In November, we can expect one or even two long weekends during which many of us plan seaside relaxation. Especially since the weather can sometimes be surprisingly pleasant at this time of year. An autumn weekend by the sea is a good way to catch your breath before winter and enjoy the last rays of the sun during beach walks. And even if the weather fails, Gwiazda Morza will provide you with its own attractions. We change the menu for autumn, and our saunas will warm up even the biggest cold lovers.
February 14th is a day we want to celebrate with our other half. Many of us will choose a Valentine's weekend by the sea during which we rest from everyday life with our loved one, relax, and reserve this time just for ourselves. Many facilities create special Valentine’s packages during this time of the year, waiting for couples. It is no different at our place. Spa treatments, private relaxing rituals, welcome gifts, a bottle of prosecco, roses and chocolates, a romantic candlelight dinner, late check-out, and many more – each hotel sets an individual package. Exclusive jacuzzi or in-room massage? The choice is yours. As Valentine's Day is a hot date and the special weekend for lovers is very popular, we also advise you to hurry with booking. Remember, too, that you can ask the hotel staff to decorate the room specially or serve breakfast to the room – it's best to inquire about such services at the reception. We also have a romantic package ready, available not only from (Valentine’s) holiday: https://www.gwiazdamorza.com/pakiety/wspanialy-duet-nad-morzem.
Sometimes a weekend by the sea is a surprise for a loved one or a gift for a special occasion. Wedding anniversaries, engagements, or birthdays of a beloved person are often reasons for a surprise trip, but sometimes it is difficult to keep the secret. Especially since the unaware person might accidentally plan something else on the same date. It's similar when we want to give someone a stay as a gift. A common idea is a Spa weekend as a gift for parents, allowing them to relax and unwind. A weekend in a spa is also a popular gift idea for newlyweds.
A spontaneous trip or a gift trip is a great idea but involves some risk. First, we may not find free spots at the property we want. Second, matching the right date can be difficult – especially when planning a surprise. Third, the unaware person might simply decline for various reasons – complicating matters. A good alternative that avoids unpleasant situations and stress are Vouchers. You can successfully give them to parents or friends as a gift, and the form and date of redemption offer flexibility and freedom, as each voucher is valid for one year from the purchase date. This convenient solution is increasingly chosen, and more hotels introduce it into their offer. A weekend for newlyweds by the sea, a gift for parents, employees, or friends – a voucher redeemable at a convenient time is a good idea for any occasion.
