After Comporta, our journey now takes us to Sylt, another exquisite corner on the Atlantic coast — a place that breathes authenticity, beauty, and discretion.
Sylt is a German island located close to the mainland, in the rugged North Sea, at the latitude of Denmark. Its light has a unique charm, and much of the island remains completely wild. The western side boasts a long, 40 km beach that is barely developed.
The island’s architecture is distinctive and beautiful. Although its small capital, Westerland, is more urban, Sylt is also home to charming, well-preserved villages like Kampen, Keitum, and Hörnum.
It’s a perfect place to explore by bike or on horseback — where time seems to stand still.
It is probably the most exclusive summer destination in Germany, designed by and for Germans (you won’t find anything written in English here). That said, if you're in search of warm weather… this may not be your place.
SHOPS
One of Sylt’s most distinctive features is that its shops and restaurants are not located in commercial buildings, but rather in entire houses, decorated with great taste and style — especially in Keitum.
If you visit the island, don’t miss Kastenhuber, where our handbags are sold. It's well worth the stop.
HOTELS
Outside of Westerland, most hotels are large mansions decorated with remarkable elegance. Some of the finest options include:
Relais & Châteaux Landhaus Stricker
Hotel Stadt Hamburg
Severin's Resort & Spa
Hotel Fährhaus
Hotel Parkresidenz Christian VIII
RESTAURANTS
As you might imagine, fish is the star of the menu in Sylt — but whatever you order, you’ll eat well.
Fährhaus – The hotel’s restaurant. Casual, elegant, and full of charm.
Vogelkoje – Informal yet refined. A safe bet.
Samoa Seepferdchen – Probably the most in restaurant on the island. A secluded beach shack, perfect for enjoying fresh fish and seafood.
Schöders (in Keitum) – A magnificent restaurant overlooking the sea.
