Neuer Strand - the sustainable resort
Our exceptional location amidst the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Fertő-Neusiedler See calls for mindful stewardship. That’s why our concept is as unique as the nature surrounding us. Our strategy ensures that sustainability and regionalism are lived values at Neuer Strand. We design our area to make it usable for future generations, relying on resource-efficient materials that not only blend visually into the surroundings but also have ecological merit.
For the sake of nature and us humans
In our resort, the importance of space and nature is paramount. There are more green spaces, reeds and water than sealed areas. The goal is a symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. Our focus on regionalism is reflected in close cooperation with local food suppliers. Sourcing building materials and services from regional providers is also a given for us. Short travel distances and transparent origins are our creed.
Neuer Strand is more than just a resort – it’s a promise for a fair future. We invite you to be part of this vision and explore our wonderful region by Lake Neusiedl. Welcome to Neuer Strand, where sustainability comes to life!
