If you prefer to discover the scenic attractions of Sylt by bicycle on the approximately 40 km of cycleways, Westerland is the perfect place to start from. It is also the best place for visitors interested in the culture and history of the island travelling on the traces of Friesian tradition.

And in case the North Sea happens to be just a little too cold for you: the leisure baths 'Sylter Welle' (sylt wave) invite big and small folks to dive into the heated floods of the seawater wave pool - in view of the dunes and the North Sea, a view also offered by the sauna landscape.

Children find higgledy-piggledy house 'Villa Kunterbunt' to be the perfect meeting point. The trampoline facilities and the pirate playground invite kids to romp and rage for hours. A variable programme of supervised daytime activities ensures child-oriented holidays with lots of fun and games with many other children.

Shopping or feasting? Wellness or hiking? Sunbathing or surfing? Let yourself inspired by the place itself - come to Westerland to explore an eldorado of possibilities. And all this on a level of expertise and luxury formed by 150 years as traditional holiday and seaside resort.
