Grand Hotel Opduin, West Frisian Islands

Property details

Find peace amidst the dunes at a relaxed beach hotel with wellness facilities in the West Frisian Islands - includes breakfast, an optional suite and other perks
  • Welcome to Texel: A stone’s throw from the beach and five minutes from the centre of charming De Koog, Grand Hotel Opduin is waiting to introduce you to Texel, a serene island off the Dutch coast. With more than 80 years of hospitality under its belt, this comfortable and contemporary hotel has something for everyone - including a restaurant, large swimming pool, spa facilities and a beautiful location atop the dunes.

  • Island unwind: Start your day with a swim in the heated pool or return in the evenings for a soak in the bubbling jacuzzi. You can kick your relaxation up a notch with a visit to the Turkish steam bath or an indulgent sauna session, or really pamper yourself with a soothing massage or rejuvenating beauty treatment. You can even keep up with your workout routine in the fitness room.

  • Purely delicious: Enjoy the flavours of West Frisia at the hotel restaurant, where tasty dishes are crafted with fresh seafood and organic local produce. In addition to the everyday menu, the kitchen team prepares a new three-course set menu every week. You can even dine on the dune terrace when the weather is warm.

How to get there

You will need to catch the ferry over to Texel from Den Helder, which can be reached from Amsterdam in about an hour and a quarter by car or train. The hotel is roughly a 17-minute drive from the ferry port.

Good to know

The sauna and Turkish steam bath are accessible to all hotel guests between 4.30pm and 7pm. You can reserve the sauna and steam bath for a private hour for an additional fee. Please note that it is customary to use the sauna without swimwear during the free entrance hours. If you prefer to visit the sauna in swimwear, the hotel recommends booking a private session.

If you’re looking for somewhere out of the way where you can completely unwind, then Texel is the perfect destination for you.
