Polder spa farmhouse
The Langeveld family still runs this former farm, where days revolve around raw wool baths and wide polder views.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A stay at this magnificently renovated boutique hotel is a real experience. The cosy interior is enhanced by excellent service, as everything is done with great care and attention.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
De Slufter and De Muy nature reserves flank the grounds, leading out toward tidal creeks and windswept dunes.
The rooms
Renewed rooms look across the flat farm fields, with ground-floor options opening onto private garden terraces.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 31°C soft-water pool looks out over the Eijerland fields through floor-to-ceiling glass, beneath an upstairs whirlpool.
The spa
Guests recline in wooden troughs wrapped in warm Texel sheep's wool rich in lanolin, or book sheep-milk massages.
The saunas and gym
Thermal cabins include an amber-lit Wadden salt sauna, and the high-ceilinged gym looks out through glass doors.
Restaurant Gusta
The dining room serves seasonal island produce and ingredients from the family farm beneath woven pendant lamps.
At the table
Guests gather at the bar counter for draft beer and cocktails, or settle at tables beside arched glass doors.
How it began
In 1963, the Langeveld family carved seven guest rooms into their barn to welcome the island's first waves of travellers.
