2nd Place: Arrive, take a deep breath, and relax. Endless expanses and tranquility, unique natural surroundings, and a hotel that perfectly combines high-quality amenities with warm, welcoming service—BUDERSAND offers countless opportunities for enjoyment and relaxation for anyone who wants to experience a few days of that intense island vibe in a relaxed yet luxurious way and leave everyday life behind.
Sitting directly by the sea, guests can unwind within a contemporary architectural setting, savour a broad spectrum of culinary creations, and listen to the soothing sound of the waves. The entire ambience is defined by individuality and a discerning appreciation of art and culture. A library handpicked by Elke Heidenreich and the outstanding collection of contemporary art, featuring more than 200 works, underscore the singular character of this five-star superior hotel.
: With stylish elegance, the elements of the island’s characteristic landscape and the refined interiors are blended into a unique and, above all, harmonious whole across the 73-hectare grounds. The hotel’s modern interior design is characterized by an elegant yet sporty aesthetic, subtly accentuated with fine natural materials: Always adhering to the credo “less is more,” there is no sensory overload here, but rather a return to the essentials, paired with the highest quality, sophisticated amenities, and a breathtaking view of the sea or the Budersand golf course.
The interiors of the rooms impress with large panoramic windows, elegant hardwood floors, oversized beds with high-quality mattresses and fine linens, handcrafted furnishings, and contemporary art on the walls. Meanwhile, the bathrooms delight with elegant Perlino Bianco marble, a bathtub, a rain shower, and various lighting moods for an experience akin to a private spa.
: Those seeking the ultimate island wellness experience will find it at Spa.budersand: Guests can enjoy more than 1,000 m² of space featuring a large swimming pool, a sauna area with various saunas, a steam room, and a large open-air terrace—complete with a refreshing outdoor shower in the dunes during the warmer months. Another highlight is the relaxation room and various treatment rooms with a direct view of the North Sea. From here, guests can enjoy not only the magnificent vista but also a diverse range of massage and beauty treatments.
Under the motto “Nordic Fusion,” the Michelin-starred kitchen at KAI3, led by Michelin-starred chef Felix Gabel, serves elaborate culinary masterpieces. Inspired by the North Sea coast visible through the restaurant’s windows, culinary styles from around the world find a new home at KAI3 and await discovery in carefully curated five-course menus. Those who wish to enjoy “the best of land and sea” in a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere will find the perfect setting at Restaurant Strönholt, perched high above the hotel in the dunes. Whether you seek a light lunch or an upscale dinner, its prime location directly on the golf course affords Strönholt the opportunity to present the full spectrum of its culinary creations alongside an equally sweeping panorama of Hörnum Marina, the North Sea, and Budersand itself.
Yet the Mediterranean spirit also finds its place in southern Sylt: at the long wooden table of Vinothek.budersand, guests can savour both Italian antipasti and classic grilled dishes, always accompanied by Budersand’s carefully curated wine selection.
: nestled within the protected natural dune landscape of the surrounding area, Germany’s first true links course was built according to classic Scottish design. The 73-hectare grounds, characterised by heathland and undulating beach grass, offer panoramic views of the sea, including the neighbouring islands of Föhr and Amrum. The uncompromising course design satisfies even the most discerning golfers. Unpredictable, often rapidly shifting sea breezes add an exhilarating challenge. Since its opening, the 18-hole layout has earned a succession of accolades, regularly confirming its position among Europe’s premier golfing destinations. This remains true to this day: in 2023, GOLF MAGAZIN honoured GC Budersand as Germany’s most popular course at its Travel Awards. At the German Golf Awards, also presented by the esteemed GOLF MAGAZIN in February 2020, GC Budersand Sylt claimed first place in the “Best Golf Course” category.
