A vast new hotel is set to open this month just two hours from the UK, quickly becoming one of the largest properties in Europe. On Wednesday, June 17, Gołębiewski Pobierowo will welcome guests, boasting 1,240 rooms across 13 floors. While it won't claim the top spot—beaten by London's Royal National Hotel (1,630 rooms) and Bucharest's Rin Grand Hotel (1,459 rooms)—it secures third place.
Beach and Waterpark Fun
The hotel sits on the banks of Plaża w Pobierowie, a 2.5-mile beach with soft white sands and clear Baltic waters. The shallow sea is ideal for swimming and popular with families. Beyond the beach, the hotel features an indoor and outdoor waterpark with slides, plus wellness activities including a salt cave. Kids can enjoy organized entertainment, while adults relax on the outdoor terrace with live piano performances. Four themed restaurants serve international cuisine.
Nearby Attractions
A half-hour walk or short drive takes you to Pobierowo town, which offers an inflatable park and treetop climbing in summer. Nearby, Park Miniatur i Kolejek is a charming model village, and Bałtycki Park Dinozaurów i Rozrywki features life-size dinosaur models, rides, and animal encounters.
Explore traditional Polish villages like Trzęsacz, known for its 15th-century church and interactive museum. Its white sand beaches and steep cliffs offer stunning sea views. Niechorze is another family-friendly seaside town with the Oceanarium Niechorze aquarium and Victorian-era Lighthouse Niechorze, providing views over forest and sea. The Museum of Sea Fishery tells the area's fishing history and lets you board small boats.
Getting There
Pobierowo is about an hour from Solidarity Szczecin–Goleniów Airport, served by Ryanair from Liverpool and London-Stansted. Flight times from London are under two hours, making this Polish seaside gem an accessible short-break destination for Brits.
