Tinnum
Landhaus Stricker
Setting
Tinnum lies in the middle of the island, minutes from Westerland airport and just as close to the west beach as to the Wadden Sea. A good base if you want to see a lot of Sylt in three days; Keitum with its Frisian houses and List in the north are both a short drive away.
The house
A thatched house with a quiet garden, a member of Relais & Châteaux since 2011. The building stays low and Frisian: white rendered walls, dark thatch, brick paths. It is a house of few rooms where the staff know the guests, not an operation with a reception hall.
Rooms & suites
Around 37 rooms and suites are spread across five categories, among them 21 suites and one Suite Royal. The interiors mix Frisian calm with contemporary furniture; many units have their own terrace onto the garden.
Dining
Holger Bodendorf's cooking has carried the house for years. BODENDORF'S is the gourmet address with its Michelin star, SIEBZEHN84 the more relaxed alternative under the same roof. Breakfast is served in the conservatory or in the garden.
Spa
The wellness area has a heated indoor pool, several saunas, a gym and a barrel sauna in the garden. Treatments can be booked on site; after a day on the windy west beach, that is the right counterweight.
Around the house
The west beach near Westerland is a few minutes away by car, and so is the Wadden Sea on the eastern side. Walks through the dunes, a guided mudflat hike or a trip up to the Ellenbogen in the north fill the free day. The house provides bicycles.
