Perched on a knoll overlooking wave-pounded rocks at the southern end of Rønne, the newly renovated Fredensborg has been transformed into a bathing hotel with on-trend rooms, all with sea views. There’s also a fine restaurant renowned for its fish buffets. To cover the 2.5km into Rønne's centre, cycle or walk a delightful forested trail.
