Healing Seaside resort Texel

Strict requirements for Texel as a health resort

A coastal town does not simply receive the designation of health resort. This status is only granted to locations where nature and climate demonstrably contribute to health and recovery. Strict requirements apply. The environment must be largely unspoilt, accessibility and facilities must be in order, and there must be a wide range of wellness and relaxation options. It is also crucial that both the air and the seawater meet strict European quality standards. Only when all criteria have been met will official recognition follow.

Scientific research

Extensive scientific research has been conducted on Texel to assess whether the island meets the conditions for a healthy seaside resort. Measurements were taken of the purity of the air and seawater, and the characteristic salty clay was analysed for its mineral composition. The results show that the natural dynamics of the island play an important role. The large tidal differences promote recovery processes in the body, while the mineral and salt content of the seawater has a positive effect on the immune system. In addition, the constant sea breeze and the increased concentration of negatively charged ions in the air promote relaxation, stress reduction and a general feeling of well-being.
