Germany's biggest North Sea island
Sylt is wild and beautiful, rough and idyllic, calm and full of life at the same time. For many, Sylt is the most beautiful island in Germany. It is a bathing paradise with 40 kilometers of white sandy beach. Hikes through the blooming heather or on the "Ellenbogen" offer breathtaking moments.
The journey to Sylt makes you forget everyday life. In addition, every season on Sylt awaits you with wonderful experiences: whether it's BIIKE-Brennen with mulled wine and kale in winter or bathing and relaxing on the beach in summer there is always something for everyone. Watch surfers at their risky maneuvers or let the unlimited biodiversity been explained to you during a "Watt" hike. And if things are supposed to be calmer, let yourself be driven by the sea and wind. Enjoy the vastness and tranquility far from everything.
Getting to the beach
In just 5 minutes you can walk from our hotel to the unique Sylt beach. In the season, rent a beach chair directly at the beach or stroll along the beach promenade to the city centre. 40 km of sandy beach leave nothing to be desired.

Die Kaffeerösterei in Rantum ist ein Erlebnis! Ein gemütliches Café mit selbst gebackenen Kuchen und eine kleine Rösterei, in der Christian Appel mit Leidenschaft jede Frage zu Kaffesorten und Röstungen erklärt - und auch regelmäßig vorführt. Perfekt nach einer Tour um das Rantumbecken.

Das Beach House liegt an der Strandpromenade von Westerland oben auf der Düne mit einem herrlichen Blick aufs Meer. Ob im Restaurant oder auf der großen Terrasse, die Aussicht ist bei jedem Wetter sehr beliebt - wie auch die Speisekarte. Es gibt immer etwas Neues zu probieren.
Our favorite sights
Ellenbogen
The northernmost point in Germany is a bird and nature reserve. Run around the top, watch the kite surfers or explore the lighthouses.
Morsum Kliff
Das älteste Naturschutzgebiet Schleswig-Holsteins im Sylter Osten ist ein beliebtes Fotomotiv. Geologisch einzigartig in Europa ist das Morsum Kliff perfekt für ausgiebige Spaziergänge rund um die vielfarbigen Erdschichten mit Blick auf das Wattenmeer.
Hörnum Odde
Die südliche Spitze von Sylt ist geprägt von weißem Sandstrand, wildem Meer mit starken Strömungen auf der einen Seite und einem ruhigen und geschützten Badestrand auf anderen Seite. Dazwischen schmiegt sich eine wunderschöne Dünen- und Heidelandschaft, überragt von einem Leuchtturm, der in unterhaltsamen Führungen besichtigt werden kann. Die Wanderung einmal um die Südspitze bietet einen tollen Blick auf die Nachbarinseln Amrum und Föhr. Im Hafen von Hörnum gibt es viele Köstlichkeiten aus dem Meer und Wassersportlern bietet eine Surfschule verschiedene Kurse an.
