Yo Poznan!
They’ve called it the Polish Ibiza for years – and if you’ve ever set foot in Skorzęcin (aka Skoje to the insiders), you know why. Wide golden beach? Check. Crystal water? Check. Parties that make you forget what day it is? Double check. We’ve been here a few years back ourselves – and trust us, this lake is so massive you can’t even see the far shore. Stand on the beach and it genuinely feels like you’re by the sea. Back then, it was pure wild energy – a blur of beats, bonfires, and bodies moving until sunrise. And now? The magic’s still here… It’s just grown up a little.
Where Is it?
Oh, and here’s the travel math: Skorzęcin sits just about 90 km from Poznań, which means you can roll in under 1.5 hours by car. No wheels? Grab a train to Gniezno, then hop a local bus or taxi straight to the lakeshore. Easy in, easy out — but trust us, once you’re here, you won’t be in a rush to leave.
Forget the brawl-filled nights of old – those are history. The scene’s been remixed. Yeah, there’s still one legendary club (shoutout to Źróddełko), but now you’ve also got volleyball tournaments under the sun, family-friendly vibes, and safety that’s tighter than your Spotify playlist. Over 70 security cameras keep an eye on things, and seven lifeguards clock in daily – plus one patrolling after hours. Name another beach in Greater Poland doing that. We’ll wait.
Water Park Madness
Step off the sand and hit Water Fun, one of the biggest floating parks in the country. We’re talking 100+ inflatable obstacles, a zipline that’ll make your stomach drop, and a Ninja Warrior-inspired monkey grove where you will end up in the water (don’t fight it). Life jackets are mandatory, drunks are a no-go, and yes – it’s dog friendly.
Street Eats & Beach Beats
Aleja Handlowa’s still dishing kebabs, but now the food scene’s leveled up – burgers with artisanal meat, coal-fired pizza, and Ewa & Szymon’s food trucks that sling killer casseroles by day and host open-air karaoke by night. It’s the kind of spot where your kid can sing Frozen at 8, and you can drop a rock ballad at 10. Zero police drama. Just good vibes.
Camp Life = Real Skoje Life
Sure, you can grab a guesthouse, but the real Skoje veterans know the heartbeat of summer is in the massive camping grounds. We’re talking fields packed with tents and caravans, all hooked up with electric points, plus communal showers and toilets. This is where nights run late, neighbors turn into friends, and the unofficial afterparties keep the glow alive long after the clubs close. If you want the full Skorzęcin experience, this is it.
Where to Crash (if camping’s not your jam)
If you’re more about morning coffee than morning hangovers, Na Skarpie guesthouse is the move. Think eight bright, retro-chic rooms with kitchenettes, a short stroll from the beach, but tucked away enough for peace. The kind of place where people who partied here 15 years ago now show up with kids in tow. Alternatively, try to get an apartment at Villa Skorzęcin Beach, which is literally on the beach!

Bottom Line
Skoje 2025 is still the summer hotspot, but now it’s wearing two hats – one for the sunset DJ sets and one for the volleyball nets. Whether you’re rolling deep with your crew, packing juice boxes for the fam, or setting up camp under the stars, the Polish Ibiza just became a whole lot more versatile.
So, pack your shades, leave the drama, and get down here. The season’s already on – and Skoje’s not waiting for you.
