Mission with vision between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea

The driving force behind our actions is the change in social values ​​towards greater sustainability and conscious use of natural resources. Authenticity and a natural lifestyle are reflected in the design, communication and personal interactions with one another. People are the focus - they are guests and hosts. They are providers and customers. They are business partners or competitors. The balance between these is based on respect, calm and appreciation. This is what defines us as hosts and employers. Hotel guests and staff benefit equally from this.

INSPIRING

Individual, sophisticated, digital, stylish, casual

The design is cosmopolitan yet down to earth, in soft, natural colours and with loving details. SAND stands for SAND Aspires Natural Design - relaxed luxury, sustainably and staged cool. Innovative by using digital technologies with the aim of optimizing smart services.

Personally open, up-to-date, holistic, relaxed

Those who think differently. The focus is on people, their abilities and possibilities. Harmony, self-realization, holistic - for employees, this is the basis of a working day that fits in perfectly with their own life situation, enabling a balanced and fair professional, private and family life. Social commitment ensures acceptance and appreciation in the region.

Sustainability, authenticity, quality, design, nature, style

Ecological and holistic - sustainability is no longer a USP, but a principle. We are aware of our responsibility and impress with regional and local products, as well as through cooperation with committed associations. The holistic approach is the focus, with all areas of the operation - from energy efficiency to waste avoidance and sustainable water management - being integrated. Guests experience authentic hospitality that is in line with ecological and social values and become part of the sustainable commitment themselves through transparency and inspiration.

Lifestyle, relaxation, enjoyment, trendsetter, team spirit

The mix of pure naturalness and a hip lifestyle, courage and the ability to take criticism from our people. Industry knowledge and committed employees as well as a welcome portion of calmness turn supposed problems into solvable challenges and create space for inspiration that is contagious. Think differently – be different – ​​let live and be fair: an attitude to share!
