When the big city gets too loud, relaxation is often closer than you think. Brandenburg's lakes and waterways begin almost at the gates of Berlin, and the most beautiful hotels by the water are quickly reached. The Precise Resort Marina Wolfsbruch in Rheinsberg-Kleinzerlang combines a hotel, a holiday complex and a harbour village with its own marina, while the Inselhotel Potsdam-Hermannswerder on Lake Templin tempts with its own lake access, a boat landing and a lakeside sauna. If you like a family feel, you will find an idyllic spot with a garden and boat rental at the Landhaus Himmelpfort on the Haussee. From a wellness break to an active trip on the water, the range has it all. Which of these water paradises will become your next destination in the countryside around Berlin?

For this list I looked for houses that make the water the centre of it all. A beautiful view of the water mattered to me, ideally with direct lake access, a boat jetty or boat rental, as well as good accessibility from Berlin. I considered very different concepts, from the family hotel to the wellness resort, so that there is something for every short break by the water.
