Why Lake Faak is ideal for a holiday with children
Lake Faak is one of Carinthia's natural jewels – turquoise-green water in drinking-water quality, framed by the mountains around the Mittagskogel. It is precisely this mix of a warm, clear lake and short walking distances that makes it the ideal place for a family holiday at Lake Faak.
Strandhotel Faak is located right on the southern shore of Lake Faak – with its own private beach and short walks between room, sunbathing lawn and water. In this article we answer the questions families ask us most often – from the bathing area and the right accommodation to activities for children and children's rates.
Question 1 · Swimming with children
What makes Lake Faak ideal for families?
In short: a gently sloping, child-friendly shore, warm water and your own sunbathing lawn at the private beach.
A quiet bathing area, warm water, everything close by
The private beach of Strandhotel Faak offers families a quiet bathing area with a sunbathing lawn right by the water and a gently sloping, child-friendly shore. Children can play in the shallows while you keep them company from the sunbathing lawn. The warm water of up to 28 degrees invites you to long days of bathing. Of course, parents remain responsible for supervising their own children.
On our large, well-kept bathing beach there is plenty of room to sunbathe and play, and by the lake the children's play lawn provides plenty of variety. Read more about the private beach in our article Swimming at Lake Faak & private beach.

Question 2 · The right accommodation
Which accommodation suits families?
Our suites have separate sleeping and living areas with an additional sofa bed – so parents and children each have their own space.
Suites with separate sleeping & living areas
For families we recommend our two suites: the Suite type A at 42 m² has a terrace with garden or lake views, separate sleeping and living areas, a double bed in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room. That way parents can have their peace and quiet in the evening, while the children get their own space.
Slightly more compact is the Suite type B at 30 m² – with a balcony and lake views facing east, also with separate sleeping and living areas, a double bed and a sofa bed. Both suites offer a minibar, satellite TV, safe, desk and a private bathroom. This makes them considerably more comfortable for families than a single room.
- Suite type A · 42 m² · terrace, garden or lake view
- Suite type B · 30 m² · balcony with lake view
- Separate sleeping and living areas in both suites
- Double bed plus sofa bed in the living room
