How to plan your stay
VITA as a base for events in Augustów
You do not have to choose between events in town and relaxing by the water. VITA is a good option when you want to combine a concert or sporting weekend with the peace and quiet of Lake Necko.
An unhurried morning
Breakfast is included in your stay and served from 8:30 to 10:00. This is a convenient window after an evening concert.
A day by the water
On site, you have a beach, jetty, kayak, pedal boat, rowing boat, loungers and life jackets.
Stay active at no extra cost
The tennis court, bicycles, billiards, table tennis, gym, playground and sports pitches are included in your stay.
An event in town, a stay by Lake Necko
The town centre and amphitheatre are good evening destinations, and afterwards you return to a peaceful part of Augustów.
A plan for a rainy day
Kino Iskra in the town centre (3 km from VITA) screens films every day — in summer the programme includes family films, and tickets are cheaper on Wednesdays. Listings: Kino Iskra on Facebook.
