Hotels in Prerow: room prices and when to book
Prerow is a seaside resort on the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula on the Baltic, in Mecklenburg, known for its wide sandy beach, the Darß forest just behind the dunes and its distinctive thatched-roof houses. It is a calm holiday base, prized for nature and quiet, away from the bustle of the big resorts. This list has 804 properties, from guesthouses and apartments in the centre to hotels close to the beach. Price depends above all on the season: late summer is clearly pricier than winter. Below is when to book cheapest, which areas to sleep in and example hotels with prices.
When to book cheapest
The cheapest month for a stay in Prerow is February, out of season, when average rates drop by about half against the peak, to around EUR 100 per night. September is the priciest, in the Baltic Indian summer, when the average reaches around EUR 275, as late summer combines warm weather with smaller holiday crowds. The season on this stretch of the Baltic runs from May to September, and outside it prices are lower and it is quieter, though the weather can be cool and windy. For summer and September dates book ahead, as the resort is small and spots near the beach go fast.
Where to stay in Prerow
The choice of area shapes the price and the feel of your stay. Here is a short guide to the most popular parts of the resort and around.
- Prerow centre. Around the main street and the harbour, with guesthouses, apartments and restaurants. Close to the beach, the pier and local shops, easily walkable.
- Near the beach and the Darß forest. Properties by the dunes and the Darßwald, for those who want the beach and walking trails on the doorstep. Quiet and nature.
- Thatched-roof houses. A signature of the area. Intimate guesthouses and apartments in traditional thatched buildings, such as ReetTraum, with a regional feel.
- Zingst and Ahrenshoop. Neighbouring resorts on the same peninsula, with a similar feel and beaches. A good alternative when Prerow is full at the peak.
Which hotel in Prerow suits whom
- For families. Apartments with a kitchen and guesthouses near the beach, handy for a break with kids by the calm Baltic and a longer stay.
- For couples. Intimate guesthouses and thatched-roof houses, such as ReetTraum and Strandglück, highly rated by guests. Ideal for a quiet break for two.
- With breakfast. Many hotels and guesthouses are known for a good breakfast praised in reviews. A handy option before a day on the beach or in the Darß forest.
- Near the beach. Properties by the dunes and the pier give the shortest walk to the sea. These are the most prized in summer and September.
- On a budget. Simple guesthouses and apartments in the centre, with rates from a few hundred euros. A good base for those on a budget and nature lovers.

When Prerow is pricier
The highest prices fall in the Baltic season, June to September, peaking in September, when late summer draws visitors with warm water and weather and smaller crowds than in the school holidays. Winter, especially February, is cheapest, though cool and windy, and some properties run a limited service then. Spring and the turn of summer are a sensible compromise: less traffic and lower prices than the peak. If price matters, aim for May, June or late autumn.
