balaclava

The storm hood stands enthroned in one of the most impressive locations on the island of Sylt – nestled between dunes, the Wadden Sea and the West Beach,
where light, wind and wide open spaces define the atmosphere. Here, the Sturmhaube combines hotel, restaurant, bar, brewery and kiosk into a place that uniquely blends enjoyment, hospitality and Nordic lifestyle.

Culinary delights with high standards – relaxed, modern, Nordic.
Our cuisine bears the signature of head chef Markus Gehrlach and his team: precise, creative and characterized by a modern, Nordic aromatic style.
Markus combines high-quality products with regional influences and surprising accents – authentic, handcrafted and at the same time wonderfully accessible.

The ever-changing menu reflects this attitude: currently, for example, tartare of Husum beef, poached Sylt egg or salmon-pike-perch carpaccio, as well as signature dishes such as truffle tagliarini, saithe with pumpkin risotto or beef fillet with truffled salsify, and fine desserts such as nougat mousse, crème brûlée, homemade ice cream or truffled Brie Meaux with fruit bread.
Whether it's lunch "by the sea", a relaxed family evening or a fine dining experience in a restaurant – every dish tells a story about the island.
Fresh. Creative. Unpretentious. And a wine list that impresses with select winemakers, exceptional wines, and a judicious selection.

Sturmbräu – the brewery of the storm hood. Craftsmanship. Taste. Experience.

A special highlight is our in-house Sturmbräu brewery: a place where brewing art comes alive.
Here, distinctive beers are created – brewed using traditional methods, with modern influences and a good dose of passion.

During brewery tours, tastings and experiential formats, guests immerse themselves in the world of malt, hops, Sylt air and fermentation – enjoyable, informative and with great passion from our brewer Pascal Neumann.

The Sturmhaube Kiosk – uncomplicated, delicious, all year round.

Our kiosk is an integral part of the Sturmhaube – popular with walkers, bathers, island children and regular guests.

All year round we offer fresh snacks, warming soups, homemade cakes, crisp salads, and of course our legendary Amazing Fries in various versions.

Whether as a takeaway for the beach or to enjoy on our spacious terrace. With its large parasol, patio heaters and movable glass walls, it is completely weatherproof – a sheltered place to combine the power of nature with comfort.

A hotel with character – peace, style and a home by the sea.
Our boutique hotel offers a total of six rooms/suites that capture the spirit of the island: natural materials, clean lines, a touch of luxury –

And all this with a panoramic view that is second to none. Families, couples, and solo travelers will find a refuge here that offers everyone their own personal escape from everyday life.

And dogs? They are of course an integral part of our experience – with plenty of space, paths close to the beach and genuine hospitality that not only tolerates but welcomes four-legged friends.

A house for culture, music & special occasions.
The Sturmhaube is far more than just a restaurant or hotel – it is a stage and meeting place for the island.
In summer, open-air concerts, Pentecost beats and DJ nights resound over the dunes.
Autumn and winter bring a festive atmosphere: readings, cultural evenings, pop-up formats and our Christmas market, which offers a modern interpretation of Sylt traditions.

Our event space – overlooking the vastness of the dunes and the North Sea – offers room for private celebrations, corporate events, cultural programs and changing partner pop-ups.
