Hotspot not just for surfers
The Wyn Strandhotel Sylt is located behind the dunes, directly on the 40-kilometer-long west beach of Sylt. It is just a stone's throw away from lively Westerland and attracts not only beach vacationers but also the elite of windsurfers in the summer months. Throughout the year, the hotel attracts travelers of all ages and inclinations to the island for cycling, golfing, horse riding or walking. The 72-room hotel has a lot to offer not only outside, but also inside: One of the highlights is the indoor pool and saunas on the top floor with views of the North Sea and the coastal fringe of Westerland as far as the north of the island. Equally unique is the spa lounge on the 5th floor with its unique North Sea panorama. Guests can enjoy massages and a wide range of cosmetic treatments in two treatment rooms. In the evening, the spa area is transformed into an atmospheric night lounge where sundowners can be enjoyed to the sound of muted club music and occasionally live music. The hotel's own restaurant, Kitchen.Bar, treats hotel guests and external visitors to a daily changing evening menu inspired by surfing hotspots around the world. Directly behind the dune, the spacious sun terrace beckons in the summer months
