Youth and group accommodation
Out and about with friends, school class, sports club?
A holiday apartment is clearly too small and a hotel is not quite the right price category.
That's why Sylt has great and affordable youth hostels for groups and North Sea holidaymakers on a tight budget.
From youth hostels close to the beach to children's recreation centers, from youth campsites in the dunes to family vacation resorts – groups of all ages are welcome on Sylt. While the leisure activities offered by youth education centers are tailored specifically to children and young people, many hostels also offer accommodations for adults, whether traveling alone or in groups.
The fact that they're surrounded by lots of movement and laughter, some unconventional clothing, and plenty of freedom isn't a deterrent, but rather an invitation. An active holiday includes campfires and beach volleyball tournaments, as well as picnics on the beach and bike rides through the dunes. Shared accommodation with numerous activities amidst Sylt's natural beauty fosters a sense of togetherness in a wonderfully playful way.
Are you traveling with your group by train?
To ensure that your arrival and departure are as pleasant and smooth as possible, please contact DB Regional if your group more than 20 people includes, 6 or more bicycles be carried, or a mobility-impaired passenger in a wheelchair travels along.
