Hotels on the North Sea
Feel the sand between your toes, on the horizon the blue of the sky mingles with that of the sea. The wind ruffles your hair and sheep graze on the dunes. This is a vacation on the North Sea. Grog and tea or a cold Pilsner and specialties straight from the sea await you at the hotel: plaice fresh from the cutter, crabs, which are actually shrimps, and mussels, especially in Belgium. The North Sea coast between France and Germany's northernmost island of Sylt is unique in the world. The Wadden Sea, where the water has almost completely disappeared at low tide, has a special charm.

And on the North Sea island of Juist, at the Romantik Hotel Achterdiek, host Stefan Juist even cooks himself.
Hotel on the North Sea: relaxation with tradition
The North Sea resorts in Belgium and the Netherlands also have a long tradition of tourism. De Haan in Belgium is known for its Belle Époque architecture and stately villas - many of which now serve as hotels. The charming coastal town of Ostend is also ideal for a break by the sea. North Sea light can be found in the Netherlands, for example in Veere. There, the rough sea was cut off by dykes in order to gain land. What remains are inland seas.
