Book a holiday in Damp
Damp is a small seaside town located in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany, on the Baltic Sea coast. Its history is modest compared to larger cities, but it has roots dating back to medieval times. Originally a fishing and farming village, Damp became more widely known in the 20th century when it was developed as a Baltic Sea health and holiday resort in the 1970s.
The “Ostsee Resort Damp” was part of a larger plan to promote coastal tourism and health retreats in the region, complete with modern architecture, spas, and wellness centers. Over the years, it has evolved into a relaxing destination for families, retirees, and wellness-seekers.
