In the middle of the Great Belt, between Zealand and Funen, lies the small island of Omø – one of Denmark's best-preserved island communities, where nature and a peaceful pace of life set the tone. Here, close to Omø Marina, you will find a shelter area in a truly unique setting on an open beach meadow with views across the Omø Sound.

Omø is a gem for those seeking tranquillity and authentic Danish island atmosphere. With only around 170 permanent residents, the island is a place where you can truly breathe freely and leave everyday stress behind. The shelter sites are set in beautiful natural surroundings where the beach meadow meets the sea and the horizon stretches out over the blue waters.

From the shelters, you can enjoy views across the Omø Sound and the small marina that lends the island its maritime charm. In the morning, you wake to the sound of waves and birdsong, and in the evening you can experience some of the most spectacular sunsets that the Danish archipelago has to offer.

The island offers a range of experiences for the curious visitor. Omø has a well-developed network of paths and small roads that lead you past charming half-timbered houses, the beautiful Omø Church, and further out into the open landscape. The terrain is flat and easy to navigate, making it ideal for walks and bicycle rides at a leisurely pace.

The nature on Omø is remarkably diverse for such a small island. The beach meadow surrounding the shelter area is home to a rich birdlife, and at the right times you can observe waders, terns, and ducks in large numbers. The surrounding waters are clear and inviting, and from the beach you can take a refreshing dip in the salty waters of the Great Belt.

Omø Harbour is the lively centre of the island, where fishing boats and pleasure craft lie side by side. Here you can also buy fresh fish and local produce. The harbour is the starting point for many of the island's activities and a meeting place for residents and visitors alike.

The shelter sites on Omø are simply furnished and allow you to spend the night close to nature. The area by the beach meadow offers peace and quiet, while you remain within walking distance of the harbour facilities. It is the perfect base for exploring the island on foot or by bicycle.

Omø is reached by ferry from Stigsnæs Harbour, and the crossing itself is an experience. The voyage across the Great Belt gives you time to tune into the island's slow rhythm and enjoy the views across the maritime landscape.

For families, Omø is a safe and manageable destination where children can play freely in nature. For couples, the island offers romantic sunsets and long beach walks for two. And for solo travellers, Omø is the ideal place to find inner peace and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.

The Omø Shelters combine the authentic Danish island experience with the opportunity to sleep under the open sky in safe surroundings. It is a place where time stands still and nature provides the finest entertainment.
