Workation. Working and traveling for modern nomads.
Imagine: you open your laptop, the screen lights up, and instead of the gray office routine, you enjoy the view of breathtaking mountain scenery, the roaring sea, or a green garden. The combination of work and vacation—or rather, workation—is no longer a future trend, but a new way of living and working. In a world where flexibility and work-life balance are becoming increasingly important, workation offers the perfect opportunity to do what you love and work at the same time. In an environment that inspires and clears your head. What used to be considered time off in a traditional vacation is now becoming productive time in a different, often particularly inspiring place. Workation is the symbiosis of work and vacation – working and traveling.

Fast WiFi is available almost everywhere, and those working in larger groups can make use of two conference rooms for up to 45 people.

Workplaces & horse-assisted coaching in Nuremberg

Working in Hesse's green seclusion
In the heart of Germany, yet far away from everyday life, completely at home: at the Romantik® Hotel Landhaus Bärenmühle, tranquility, nature, and inspiration merge to create a place where thoughts flow freely, ideas come to life, and decisions mature effortlessly. Light-flooded workspaces, nature right outside the door, and small, inspiring opportunities for exchange create the perfect setting for concentrated work. Culinary delights and attentive service round off your stay. This is how a workation becomes a source of strength for body and soul.
The island secret of Syros. Workation with a sea view.
A workation in paradise? At the Romantik® Suites Pafsilipon on the Greek island of Syros, this dream becomes a reality. The name translates as “the end of worries” – and that's exactly how you feel as soon as you step into the elegant suites with panoramic views of the azure blue sea. While outside, the historic streets of Hermoupolis beckon with their neoclassical architecture and urban vibrancy, inside the hotel offers sources of calm and inspiration. Between Zoom calls and emails, there is time for an espresso on the terrace, a dip in the crystal-clear water, or enjoying the regional cuisine. Syros is one of those Cycladic islands that is still considered an insider tip – authentic, exclusive, and just a stone's throw from Athens. This makes work a pleasure and every working day a little piece of vacation.
Focus & freedom. Working on the Wadden Sea.
Between sand dunes and the sound of the sea: at the Romantik® Hotel Achterdiek on Juist, productive work meets pure relaxation. The rooms are equipped with comfortable desks, while the Wadden Sea on your doorstep offers a chance to slow down and relax. After work, the wellness area or the excellent slow food gourmet cuisine invite you to recharge your batteries – a workation with North Sea flair and a salty, fresh sea breeze.
