When the world-renowned medical spa hotel, Lanserhof, opened in the village of List two years ago, it was the talk of the island. It was said to be the second most expensive European hotel project of 2022 after the Ritz in Paris.

Located in the picturesque port of Munkmarsch, and facing the Wadden Sea (UNESCO world heritage site), the hotel offers a 700m2 SPA and one of the best restaurants on the island.

A beautiful thatched roof hotel in picture-perfect Keitum. This family-run hotel is one of our favorite hotels on the island. Book far in advance.

A five-star hotel facing the rough North Sea with a restaurant run by famed chef Jan-Philipp Berner, that has been awarded two Michelin Stars. The Söl’ring Hof is the most luxurious stay on the island.

Perhaps the best hotel in Sylt. Situated in Keitum, a short stroll from the Wadden Sea, the Severins ticks all the boxes when it comes to a superb and relaxing stay in Sylt. We love their houses for a more private experience.

In the South of Westerland, you will find this super cozy restaurant. For more than three decades, Web Christel has offered excellent local food. Order the duck!

Some of the best seafood on the island (get the cod). During the summer months, snag a spot on their terrace overlooking the Wadden Sea.

Johannes King is one of the local chefs on the island you have to know. He worked at the Söl’ring Hof before starting his own spot in picturesque Keitum, offering fine foods and culinary treasures.

For the freshest oysters, this is the place to go!

If you have been to the island before, you will know it. Part bar, part restaurant, Gogärtchen is an institution and will always be one of our to-go places.
