LANSERHOF SYLT
A unique medical wellness destination from the pioneering brand devoted to preventative health programming for a new generation of wellness travellers
S
ituated on a remote Frisian Island in northern Germany, Lanserhof Sylt has raised the bar for preventive health programming in a destination resort setting since it launched in 2022. The €120m (£103m) resort, designed by architect Christoph Ingenhoven with landscaping by Enzo Enea, has Europe’s largest thatched roof, blending seamlessly into the landscape. As well as 54 guest rooms and suites, the property is home to a high-tech medical wing, a therapy suite offering complementary treatments, a gym, yoga studio and spa with indoor/outdoor pool, two saunas, steam room and relaxation area.
A design for connection
At the lower ground floor, a free-standing circular staircase rises to connect all levels of the property. Light blonde wooden flooring leads from the reception down into the spa area. A restaurant with an open kitchen and high tables for casual dining also has cosy tables for one and two. On the ground floor there is a lounge with a fireplace and seating, where singers, solo pianists and harpists play.
“There are so many wellness and health resorts opening up, but there’s nothing comparable to Lanserhof Sylt.” Dorit von der Osten, general manager
The design palette in the medical wing references its clinical nature with white walls and floors, a modern blue sofa and beautiful floral displays. The therapy suite on a lower level follows a similar design theme – all clean lines and white walls.
