In the heart of the Texel dunes

texel yurt

You will find our yurts on a separate part of the Loodsmansduin dune campsite, in one of the quietest and most beautiful places of South Texel, near the atmospheric old pilot village of Den Hoorn. The campsite is located on a so-called flood hook, in the middle of the Dunes of Texel National Park.

From your yurt you are directly in nature and you have all the possibilities to make endless walks in the Tesselse wilderness ...... Of course, the beach is also nearby 15 minutes by bike and 45 minutes walk through the dunes.

Dark and silent

Here on the island it is still very, very dark and very quiet. In a clear night sky, the Milky Way is visible as a white nebula made up of countless stars.
The stars twinkle like diamonds and you keep looking breathless.

Bees

Jacco lives on the island with his bee colony. It is very special to hear this beekeeper talk about his swarms, how they live and maintain themselves as a bee colony. You would almost fall in love with it…

Novalishoeve

Just outside the village you will find the Novalishoeve, an organic community care farm selling freshly baked bread, cakes, ice cream, vegetables, cheese, eggs, meat, etc. Here you can sit on the terrace with a cup of coffee and the best Dutch apple cake, whilst the children play in the farmyard playground or discover the animals in the barn.
