Tropical Islands: Christmas holiday in the German Tropics

From the Christmas tree at home to palm trees and a sun-drenched beach. And that with the caravan behind the car. Wonderful temperatures both in and outside the water or swimming in a winter landscape. It's all possible in Tropical Islands. Europe's largest tropical indoor paradise is just a stone's throw from Berlin.

So anyone who wants to get away from the gray and cold in their own country does not have to fly for a day to another continent, but our 'eastern neighbor' has the tropics available in an immense hall in the forests of Brandenburg. And in those woods there is a fantastic campsite with simple tippis up to the ultimate luxury tents. So glamping. There are also numerous pitches for caravans and campers in the woods, where about 150 nature homes are ready to welcome guests from the Netherlands, among others. You can also choose between hotel accommodations in and just outside the alien-looking former zeppelin hall.

On the way to Tropical Islands

So there is something for everyone and everyone can reach Tropical Islands in their own way. By car, with or without caravan, or by camper. But the tropical delight is also easily accessible by train or a combination plane/train and the connecting shuttle service, which takes care of the last 5 kilometers. A flight to Berlin-Tegel or Berlin-Schönefeld takes just over one hour, the regional train to Tropical Islands station takes just under an hour from the Hauptbahnhof. And then it is a few days of heart-warming and pure enjoyment.

Playing for the little ones and adventure for the growing youth and pure relaxation and tranquility for the (grand)parents. And all that at an average temperature of approximately 28 degrees. The water temperature is the same, both inside and outside. Only in Germany's largest wellness complex, with seven sauna landscapes, does the temperature regularly rise much higher. All under one roof. Including about 13 restaurants and bars and exciting attractions for all age groups.

Sea, beach and lagoon

The 'South Sea' with its 200 meter long beach is pure fun for the children. With attractions in the water and on the beach, while parents relax on the sunbeds, enjoying the wonderful temperature and a drink. And… where they can keep an eye on things every now and then.

On the other side of the rainforest is the lagoon. A water landscape the size of four swimming pools in which bubble baths, jet stream and waterfalls provide variety and water fun. The whole is fantastically lit, especially in the twilight of the evening. After all, the eye also wants something. The indoor hotel is built in colonial style and is in fact a village with shops and a boulevard. In short, an environment where you want to be and where it is good to be.

Near Berlin and Potsdam

Speaking of surroundings: in the immediate vicinity of Tropical Islands, say 3 minutes by car or train, is one of the world's most vibrant cities: Berlin. A day of shopping or sightseeing in Berlin or Potsdam with its famous Holländer-Viertel and palaces is an exciting break from your tropical holiday, after which you can relax again when you get back. And before you know it, the Christmas holidays will be over, but with that wonderful feeling of that tropical experience, you can easily cope with winter again.
