Sleep under a light that still works.
Six rooms in a working lighthouse on a cliff, 27 meters above the Baltic. Pick a night and we’ll work out which window shows you the sunset.
Two flashes every fifteen seconds
From the sea, Mewia Kępa is known by its rhythm: two short white flashes, then twelve seconds of darkness. In the List of Lights this is written as Fl(2) W 15s. The lens turns once every fifteen seconds, 58 meters above the water, and can be seen from 21 nautical miles away.

Six rooms, one above the other
Five rooms in the tower and one in the keeper’s house. The higher you go, the farther the horizon and the more stairs: 118 steps lead up to the Crow’s Nest. We show every room in four views at once: section, plan, view from the window and register entry.
