Best hotels in Texel
This shortlist gathers the top-rated hotels in Texel, each with a different character: a sprawling holiday park with extensive wellness facilities, a small, highly praised hotel, and a country-style stay with family perks. It is for travellers who want a factual, side-by-side view of what each property offers.
Staying in Texel
Texel is the largest and most populated of the Wadden Islands, known for its wide beaches, nature reserves, and cycling paths. Visitors come for the relaxed island atmosphere, the seal sanctuary, and the opportunity to explore dunes, polders, and historic villages. The island is easily reached by ferry from Den Helder, and once there, a car or bicycle is the best way to get around.
The hotels on this shortlist sit in different parts of the island. Vakantiepark De Krim Texel is on Roggeslootweg 6, in the north near De Cocksdorp. Hotel Molenbos is on Postweg 224 226, close to the eastern coast and the ferry port. Prins Hendrik Texel is on Stuifweg 13, near the western dunes and the village of Den Hoorn. These locations suit couples seeking quiet, families wanting space and activities, and business travellers looking for a comfortable base with free parking and easy access to the mainland.
