Villas in Baabe
Baabe suits families and couples wanting a small Baltic seaside resort on Rügen, with saunas and gardens in many homes. The catch is distance: Hamburg airport is a little over three hours' drive away, and this is a village of under a thousand residents, not a lively town.

About Baabe
Baabe is a Baltic seaside resort on the island of Rügen, a municipality of fewer than a thousand residents in the Mönchgut-Granitz group of villages. At the northern exit from the village runs the Mönchgraben, what remains of a medieval boundary ditch. Other Baltic resorts on the island, Sellin, Göhren and Binz among them, are all reachable on the island's historic narrow-gauge railway, the Rasender Roland, which also serves Baabe. Our homes are spread over a few kilometres around the village, and most are houses or apartments for around four with a garden. About a quarter have a sauna or a fireplace, but hardly any have a pool or air conditioning, so the homes are set up for cool evenings rather than heat. Rügen gets most of its visitors between April and October, with the peak from June to August.
Is Baabe right for you?
- Best for
- Families and couples wanting a small Baltic resort with sauna options

Baabe villa holidays: questions answered
Is Baabe on the Rasender Roland railway?
Yes. Baabe is one of the Baltic resorts reachable on the historic narrow-gauge railway, whose route runs from Lauterbach through Putbus, Binz and Sellin to Göhren.
Baabe or Sellin?
Baabe is smaller and quieter, a village of fewer than a thousand people, while Sellin is another Baltic seaside resort on Rügen. Both are on the narrow-gauge railway, so you can stay in one and visit the other without a car.
Do Baabe holiday homes have saunas?
About a quarter of ours do, and a similar share have a fireplace. Most have a garden. Very few have a pool, so Baabe suits cooler-weather stays more than hot-weather ones.
How far is Baabe from the nearest airport?
Hamburg airport is about three hours 10 minutes by car. A direct Intercity train from Hamburg to Ostseebad Binz takes around three and a half hours, and from Binz the narrow-gauge railway runs on towards Baabe.
When is Baabe busiest?
Summer. Most visitors come to Rügen between April and October, with the peak from June to August, so book school-holiday weeks early. Spring and autumn are cooler and calmer.
