Enjoyment & cooking events

The love of enjoyment

Sylt without culinary delights? Almost impossible. We'll show you special island events with a high enjoyment factor.

Few things are as important on Sylt as enjoyment and the joy of it. There are many things to enjoy in life, especially on the island. For example, the clear, champagne-like air, the stunningly beautiful beach along the west coast, and the sweeping views of the ocean. And it's probably already been scientifically proven that the North Sea climate can make you hungry. This makes it all the more important that the culinary offerings from List to Hörnum know how to satisfy your hunger. From fish sandwiches to Michelin-starred menus, offering the greatest and freshest variety. We hope you enjoy cooking with the island's best, trying new things, discovering, and enjoying!

Experience Sylt – island delights for all the senses…
