For Baltic Village, the newly opened vacation home resort in Damp on the Baltic coast, we built the digital presence as a core part of the launch strategy. Headless architecture on Sanity, Next.js and the Vercel edge network, with category-based browsing and clean integration with the resort's existing external booking and guest systems.

Design and content are cleanly separated: Evelan delivers the design system, the Baltic Village team manages content, seasonal campaigns and price tiers independently in Sanity.

As part of the reopening of our vacation home complex in Damp, the Baltic Village, we focused on the digitalization of all processes right from the start. An important component of this strategy was our requirement: a modern, innovative website that is easy and intuitive to use for both our guests and us! This requirement was implemented 100%.

Andreas Straub & team have accompanied this project very successfully and even exceeded our expectations. Many thanks for this, and here's to many more successful projects.

Headless vacation home website on Sanity + Next.js for Baltic Village

Starting point: A new Baltic coast opening with a digital-first ambition

Baltic Village opened as a new, exclusive vacation home resort in Damp, 900 metres from the Baltic Sea, with houses across the categories Comfort, Premium, VIP, Boho-Beach-House and Ostsee-Villa. From the opening onwards, the full guest journey was to be digital: inspiration, comparison, booking, check-in and stay. The website had to present the houses emotionally, make the categories transparently comparable, and hand off cleanly to the resort's existing external systems (booking, guest app, 360° tours).

Headless architecture with Sanity, Next.js and Vercel edge delivery

We built the complete website as a headless system: Sanity as the editorial CMS, Next.js as the frontend framework, Vercel edge network for delivery. Design and content entry are cleanly separated. Evelan delivers the design, the Baltic Village team manages content and campaigns. Specifically, we delivered:

  • Five house categories with their own profile. Comfort, Premium, VIP, Boho-Beach-House and Ostsee-Villa, each with a dedicated profile, amenities and price range.
  • Sanity as editorial CMS. Easter specials, price tiers and new house categories are managed intuitively by the team, without developer support.
  • Vercel edge delivery via CDN. Hero full-screen images, category galleries and image sequences load fast globally, even on mobile.
  • Integration with external systems. CASONA booking engine linked, Gastfreund guest app connected for contactless check-in, and 360° tours delivered by a third party embedded via iframe.
  • Image-driven detail pages. High-resolution galleries, amenity icons and prices per category.
  • Clean design and content separation. Evelan delivers the design system; the team manages only the content.

Result: A website that builds trust

According to Baltic Village management, the website has exceeded expectations. Just two to three weeks after launch, guests repeatedly reported that they had chosen Baltic Village over competitors precisely because the professional-looking website gave them confidence: the site created the trust that triggered the booking. In daily use, guests compare categories, click into the embedded 360° tours and follow the link into the external CASONA booking engine. The team manages campaigns and new houses independently in Sanity. The headless architecture delivers performance through Vercel edge and brings security advantages from the clean separation of design and content: no exposed database, managed updates in the background, minimal attack surface.
