Early history
Rose of the Winds
In the years 1976-1983 in Dziwnówek, commissioned by the Szczecin Shipyard, a rather avant-garde for the times, but completely unique Róża Wiatrów (Rose of Winds) resort was built. Róża Wiatrów was a huge complex, covering as much as 10 hectares, consisting of four ten-story high-rise buildings located directly on the beach. The resort had a large infrastructure in the form of a huge canteen, where lavish New Year's Eve balls were held, there was a colony center with a tennis court and the Medusa guesthouse building. There were also plans for an indoor swimming pool, which unfortunately was never completed. The resort offered its guests one of the best views on the entire Polish coast, and was bustling all year round, with shipyard workers and tourists from all over Poland vacationing there.
Revive memories
Porta Mare Active&Spa Resort
In 1998, the Szczecin Shipyard changed its name from Rose of the Winds to Porta Mare, and in 2003, one of the largest development companies in Poland, Przedsiębiorstwo Usługowo Handlowe Budnex from Gorzow Wielkopolski, acquired Porta Mare. The Budnex owners decided to rebuild the former resort and this is how two triple towers emerged from the 4 towers proudly carrying the old, yet renewed name of Porta Mare. The Porta Mare name has become the brand name of the developer's waterfront developments, with the Porta Mare Active&Spa Resort being its crown jewel. Porta Mare Active&Spa Resort is the new spirit of the former Róża Wiatrów, offering its guests one of the finest sea views on the Polish coast, excellent cuisine, great fun, and recreation. Old memories return.
