As the largest of the Dutch Wadden Islands, Texel is a place where windswept beaches, dune landscapes, and peaceful villages create a world far removed from city life. Just a short ferry ride from the mainland, Texel invites you to breathe deeply, explore slowly, and reconnect with nature.
Discover vast sandy beaches, cycle through rolling dunes and pine forests, or spot seals along the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea, a unique tidal ecosystem that shifts with every hour. The island is a paradise for birdwatchers, cyclists, and stargazers, offering space, silence, and sky.
Texel’s charm lies in its balance — home to both lively towns like Den Burg and serene nature reserves like De Slufter, where sea and land meet in spectacular fashion. Enjoy fresh seafood, local sheep’s cheese, or craft beer brewed on the island, and stay in cozy cottages, beach lodges, or farm B&Bs.
Whether you seek adventure or tranquility, Texel offers a true island escape — wild, free, and wonderfully Dutch.
