Tegernsee - Bavaria - the place to be "Fährhütte 14", my insights for you!

Advertisement

Lake of Tegernsee, Bavaria, Germany,  where to go?  

Hey guys,

if you are traveling to Bavaria, Germany, a stop always worth is the beautiful lake of Tegernsee. If you are visiting Munich, it is about a 45 min drive from central Munich.

The lake itself is beautiful surrounded by mountains and is pure Bavarian lifestyle. Famous footballers as Manuel Neuer (FC Bayern Munich) are living around the lake, it is one of the most beautiful places to be in Bavaria. But not only for the rich and famous. 

One hideaway I can recommend anybody to go is the "Fährhütte14".

The Fährhütte14 is belonging to the famous Althoff Hotel Collection, which is holding a 5-star-superior hotel also on the lake. As it is just some minutes away, it is perfect to book a room there if you planning an over night stay. 

The Fährhütte14 opened up in 2014 with a new team and a fully new concept. As the name is already hiding it is a romantic cottage surrounded only by the lake and beautiful nature. The cottage itself is offering a restaurant and an exclusive beach club.

It is the perfect hideaway to treat yourself with high quality service, food, drinks and absolute peaceful romantic surrounding and views. 

As it is so romantic, of course you can also book this location for an event for yourself. Many weddings are taking place at this stunning setting.

We had our lunch at the jetty, which is quite an experience. My recommendation - if you are early enough you should ask for this unique place - as only 2 tables are available. 

The menu of the Fährhütte14 is offering high quality food as fish dishes, salads, burgers and pasta. Don't miss the fabulous wine card. 

What are you waiting for? Pack your bags and spend your time at one of most best kept secret hideaways on the lake Tegernsee "Fährhütte 14". 

Make sure you place a reservation! Please contact me for any questions for luxury travel and planning a tour to lake Tegernsee. 

Cheers,

Barcelona, foodies where to go? My insights for you! Part 3

Barcelona, my foodie insights for you!

Part 3 I SURF HOUSE BARCELONA

Hey guys,

I decided to do a series of the top foodie places when traveling to wonderful Barcelona. 

My insights about foodie places you should go to started two weeks ago, so make sure you don't miss something out by clicking on Part1 and Part 2. 

The restaurant I choose to write about today is the "SURF HOUSE" in Barcelona. 

This location is directly located at the beach. And as the name is already giving you some idea, it is a surf spot and a restaurant decorated with all things relating to surfing. 

You have a beautiful view from the restaurant facing the beach life of Barcelona. 

The restaurant itself is offering a big menu  where you can choose from breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner.

We choosed an Avocado Toast with smashed avocado, feta cheese, basil and cherry tomatoes. Beside this great high quality fresh dish I choosed a drink called Lime Juice, with mint and a bit of sugar. I can really recommend it, also they offer a smoothie of the month, just ask for the fruits at the moment. Also you can do your own healthy creation of course.

As it is a surfer spot, they also offer activities - which you can book. For example SHB SUP Yoga & Pilates and afterwards you can get your well deserved smoothie or Mojito. On some days they also have live music with special cocktail prices. 

And don't miss the free paddle surf, when hitting the 15 Euro bill you can borrow paddle board for 45 minutes free. Check the website for actual activities. 

Make sure you don't miss this place, when traveling to Barcelona.

Paradise on earth - Mauritius ! My insights !

Advertisement

Bye Bye winter- pack your bags and off to summer paradise !!!

I found paradise @ Belle Mare, Long Beach Golf Resort & Spa - Mauritius.

Hey guys,

as in Europe the winter is officially there and if you have the luxury of having some days left of your annual leave, you should have an eye on Mauritius. 

In this time of the year the best season for Mauritius has just started. 

As Mauritius is an island the coasts are having different weather conditions (wind etc.). So speaking about the best season this insight is only from my experience I had staying at the Belle Mare, means Eastern side, of the island.

Where to stay? 

Long Beach Golf Resort & Spa / Mauritius.

This Resort has the best service we ever experience, see the picture below (one of many nice experiences we made while being a guest at this exclusive Resort). Have you ever seen something like this?

How long?

The perfect time for relax and checking out island should be around 12 - 15 days (of course if you can afford it - stay more days, month, years!! lifetime!?).

How is the style of the resort? 

Arriving at the resort (we were greeted by a gong, when coming in the lobby) you could see that this hotel is just a modern design architect jewel. The resort faces an extensive seafront along the famous Belle Mare beach.

What room to book?

The hotel has around 255 rooms (all facing the sea!!!!), the rooms are all well integrated among the nature and the beach. You don't feel this number of persons along the resort, as it is NEVER busy at the beach. 

We booked a room on the first floor, which I would also recommend to you, because its just an amazing view when your out on the balcony facing the sea.

What to do in the Resort? 

RELAX !!! Enjoy the beautiful beach and the pool area to the fullest, go snorkeling and explore the ocean.

You can check out the fitness, get your kids entertained to have some time on your own (the kids club is located away from the main areas / beach / rooms - it doesn't disturb anybody). 

If your into Golf this is your Resort, play at the most unique and wonderful 18-hole golf course! 

The shores bar (wonderful view!) where all the restaurants are around offers entertainment on the evening, which is live music or some acts. This is also so well integrated that you don't have any disturb and if your not into entertainment you can just go back to your room and enjoy a drink or two private on your balcony. 

Hows the food and the drinks?

Speaking about the restaurants. This is absolutely amazing!

They offer 5 different restaurants. At first I was a bit skeptical, because I just love food and to cook. What they offered in this resort, I have never experienced before. 

Its just a perfect offer for every taste.

When it should be very romantic, I can recommend you to book a table on the beach (YES! beach restaurant) where you can enjoy your dinner with candle light. You can also go there for lunch. It offers fresh sea food and fantastic steaks.

You can go for Japanese food if you like to, really extraordinary design and great taste.

If you more into Chinese, this is the best restaurant I ever eaten Chinese. My favorite spot for dinner and lunch!

They also offer an Italian restaurant, which serves authentic fresh Italian food, which is nice to have from time to time.  

You can also order sandwiches and snacks directly on the beach/pool area, what can I say more just check the pics - its unbelievable good. 

They have a great sorted wine card and the cocktails are also absolutely fabulous.
Just look what they offered at the welcome management cocktail night for new arrivals. 

What to do in Mauritius?

We booked a private guide, which showed us the beautiful island. You should calculate about 1 day for this trip. Its really interesting because you get many informations and see some really great spots at the island. Mauritius is also well known for diamonds, the resort also offers a high class store for shopping. 

Cheers,
Melaine

#The German Hamptons - Sylt the best kept secret from Germany!

# German Hamptons / Sylt 

Sylt - the best kept vacation secret from Germany 

"Kampen makes me feel like a monkey in the zoo, but only with nice company".

                  Gunter Sachs 

You may wonder who Gunter Sachs is (if you are not German), he was (unfortunately left us some time ago!) the German Playboy who was famous for partying in Sylt (a small Island in the Northern Part of Germany).

Guys, I can tell you - Sylt is the most best kept secret from Germany. I don't know why, but I never met there any tourists from overseas. Maybe the Germans want to keep it for themselves, I don't know! Its also hard to find English web sides from the hot spots of the island, but thank god we have google translator in 2016. I know the island is small and expensive, but still I think the international clients are not well informed about this paradise in Germany! Thats why I decided to share this content with you today.

It is the German Hamptons!!! (the most expensivest house prices in Germany!)!! 

After 32 years I made it the first time to Sylt, its funny because when you think you saw Tokyo (many times) but don't know your home country - but whatever, it is never to late!

A good advise for all the international guys out there, as I know German is a difficult language - you can use in this region from Germany always "Moin, Moin" to say hello - good evening - good  morning :-)

If your coming from outside Germany I would suggest you to come in summer time, or late summer time -  take a look at the German "Sommerferien" to make sure, the island is not too crowded. Maybe you book two nights in Hamburg before, which is a beautiful city from there you can rent a car and drive around 2 hours to "Niebüll", where the car train (an adventure, I can tell you) will bring you directly in 30 minutes to Sylt. You get transported on a train over the sea - funny!

The best place to explore and stay in Sylt is from my opinion a rental flat in my favorite spot Wenningstedt. You can rent a bike there and as the island is so flat you don't have to be a sports fanatic to bike wherever you want.

As it is a German island it is not the Caribian, that means  the weather conditions can change quickly, which doesn't rune your vacation, but make sure you also pack warm clothing in your suite case (it can be windy!!) - Sylt is even beautiful without sunshine, but you have to be prepared for it!

What I don't like about Sylt?
Theres not much to mention.
Westerland is not my favorite spot, I think it is just too crowded and the typical small houses / buildings which makes the island so special are not there. If you like to go shopping, they have a big shopping street.

What I like about Sylt?
Wenningstedt - Gosch (its a big chain all over the island with fresh sea food and a good glass of wine) with direct access on the beach. I prefer staying in an apartment in Wenningstedt close to the beach. See underneath the link to my favorite apartment agency.

Kampen - to see and to be seen of course. Gunter Sachs partied hard over there!
From Wenningsted you can go by bicycle about 10 minutes and then your in Kampen.
You can go for a real good breakfast (you can share one, its big enough!) there and cakes on the afternoon - best home made cakes I ever ate = at Kupferkanne. Make sure you make a reservation!

If you want to shop exclusive brands in traditional Sylt houses, this is the place you should go.
For an evening restaurant I can recommend you the Gogärtchen, you can have a real good "Currywurst" with truffle cream and fries over there ;-) You only life once, right?!

Buhne 16 is also at the end (on the never-ending beach!) of Kampen, right on the beach side.
There you can go for a drink or a snack around afternoon. They also have cool DJ vibes and in summer they are hosting surf festivals.

If you want to party hard this is the place to be, check out "PONY Club or Club Rotes Cliff".

Keitum - just a nice small city where you can spend an afternoon in shopping and watching people.

What you shouldn't miss in Sylt?

Make sure you book a Watt tour. The "Watt" tour is a tour when the water goes away and you can walk threw the so called "Watt" and you get to explore the micro livings of the sea. Most of the tours are made by native Sylt people, so they always tell you great realistic stories they experienced while living in Sylt.

Also make sure you enjoy the beach (everywhere!!!). It is just a never-ending clear beach where you can take walks for hours. One of my favorite spots (of course close to Wenningstedt) is Wonnemeyer. I ate there the best Avocado Salad in my life.
There is also a DJ around, so you get a cool vibe on the beach. You can only come there by feet.

The best place to watch the sunset in Sylt?

Sansibar !! The one and only, well-known in Germany. Come there late afternoon and make sure you grab your glass of wine and go for the sunset right on the beach - they play always a song called "when the sun goes down in Capri" - it has a great vibe watching the sunset with all the people and the music in the background.
Good news for people who don't like to walk, they got an own Mercedes VIP shuttle.  How decadent it can be ?! just walk those 500 meters... !

If you want to stay in your apartment in Sylt, don't worry - they have the best sorted supermarket I ever have seen on an island. It is called "Feinkost Meyer" in Wenningstedt (you see that Im in love with this place!). You get everything you need to treat yourself well !!!

Guys, I hope I summarized everything together for you - Im sure there are more places to discover on this island but this were the hot spots I could find out my first time!

As always on the end, please find my links for your next stay in Sylt ! Enjoy!
If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.

Cheers,
Melaine
