Booked this place last minute on Texal Island as had a special last minute price. We certainly did not regret our decision, fabulous in all aspects! Located at the end of a quiet little village close to the nature, we took advantage of the E-bikes for hire for half a day after we checked out! Texal is a wonderful island to cycle around!!! The room was modern and spacious and beautifully decorated and super quiet, it looked out over the lovely garden where we enjoyed a pre-dinner wine and the setting sun. Super comfy bed and pillows and excellent shower. Breakfast was also excellent! Ah, now dinner....I booked this place as it also had a restaurant. So I casually added in the notes 'please book us in'. Well, dinner was outstanding...a 15 course gourmet extravaganza of which we loved every little biteful of! They even made it Gluten Free for me! In fact they cater to any dietary requirements (let them know beforehand). Worthy of a Michelin star at least! But be pre-warned, it also comes with an outstanding price....a treat well worth splashing out for! We are just back from our 2 week trip and our stay here remains the highlight of our trip.

FAQs about hotels on Texel

A Haven for Wildlife

A Dutch island in the North Sea, Texel is best known for its wonderful sand dunes - a haven for birds. Common and grey seals also swim off its shores and some can be seen in the Ecomare rescue centre just outside De Koog.

Home to the largest concentration of Texel hotels, De Koog is a real seaside town and the centre of the nightlife, with a few bars and restaurants. At the island’s northern tip is its most recognisable landmark – the red lighthouse in De Cocksdorp. A ferry leaves from here to neighbouring Vlieland island in summer.

South is Texel Airport and its aviation museum, while inland are the polders typical of the Netherlands. Some are bulbfields that are a sea of colour in spring, while others are home to sweet-looking Texel sheep.

Oudeschild on the Waddenzee coast is a fishing village with a windmill by its harbour. Midway between here and Den Burg – the largest town – is Hoge Berg, an Ice Age clay mound. Next door is Texel Brewery, producing beers from the island’s wheat and barley.

Ferries to Texel from Den Helder arrive at t’Hoorntje and the closest village is Den Hoorn whose church spire can be seen for miles around. Wherever you choose to stay, Booking.com has a great range of accommodation in Texel.

    The Island Life is a neat and calm B&B. The location itself is very pretty, the room was tidy and comfortable and the Hosts were very friendly and helpful, giving tips on restaurants and places to visit which turned out above expectations. The highlight is the Wellness area where you can book some hours of quality time to relax. The Jacuzzi and sauna were both clean, comfortable and the atmosphere was quite fun and relaxing. I'd recommend booking the Spa for the evening as it's a seperate, private area which has beautiful lighting which you will be able to fully enjoy and immerse in after dark. 10/10 looking forward to visit there again.

    A great hotel on Texel with a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and beautiful design! Our room was comparably large, had a beautiful view across the countryside and a bathtub. We loved the breakfast (many options, scrambled eggs, fresh bread etc.) - one of the best we ever had in a hotel. Dinner was also very delicious! Kids take pleasure in the trampoline and we also highly recommend both the wonderful wellness area as well as the beautiful bar. Plus, you can charge your electric car right in front of the hotel. We will definitely return.

    Many opportunities for eating out and close to the beach and nature. Relatively far from the other cities but not as far as De Cocksdorp: Den Burg or De Waal would be a better option if you want to be in a more central area, but everything is relatively close so it does not matter too much.

    Texel Island is an increasingly awkward mix of well-to-do summer homes, tourist accomodations, and very active agriculture. Den Burg is the island's traditional center and maintains its original character, despite some tourist restaurants and lodgings. Other places, not so much.

    Wonderful little village surrounded by beautiful big skies and sheep fields. Very cozy and has a lot of character and charm. A good base of operations to see the rest of the island and get away from the crowds or bustle of larger places. Has some unique places to visit such as farms, breweries, and bird watching sites.

    Beautiful village, it’s tiny but the perfect place to stay at while exploring Texel. Everything is a bike ride away and the bike paths on Texel are excellent and well connected. You can explore the whole island on bikes (even with kids). The sheep farm, Seal Sanctuary, and beach is 20-30 min away by bike. There is a great park at the corner of the village that we enjoyed.

    Nice old village in Texel, with a lots of programs in the haven like shrimp fishing and seal spotting. Also some good restaurants, bike renting opportunities, walking on the seashore… great place to relax and be away from the everyday hamsterwheel. We ate lunch at one of the local ‘visboer’ super tasty fresh fish and had dinner at the ‘Pakhuus’ , which was quite fancy.

    The city and it's neighborhood is more charming than I expected. I visited other cities too on the island, but this one I liked the best. Even in the high season it didn't feel crowded at all. You can find here all facilities.

    Of the four larger villages on Texel, Oudeschild is the quieter one and it has the additional benefit of the quite busy harbour where you can take seal watching or crab fishing tours, or simply enjoy the views of the large and small sail ships passing through. The maritime Kaap Skil museum is definitely worth a longer visit. The highlight is a very large interactive exhibition in the basement (that took more than 4 years to build) with detailed info about the role of the island in the golden age, the great Dutch ships and life on the island back in that day, including a massive VR installation and ship models of incredible detail. Outside the main building you walk through a 17th/18th century village with original workshops and living quarters, including a large windmill that is still operational today (you can buy locally milled flour there).
