Is there anything better than a holiday home by the sea and the beach, when the weather is good?
A vacation on Fanoe or Rømø means you are surrounded by the Wadden Sea, which in 2014 became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as the world's largest contiguous tidal system with a diverse flora and fauna.
Sea, beach, dunes and idyllic holiday villages with thatched roof cottages, from the time when great grandmother was young, is all part of the islands, each of which has much to offer for lovers of nature, watersports, hiking and not to forget - cycling enthusiasts.
This is the perfect place for a truly relaxing holiday with family in large holiday homes with room for several generations. Most big houses have an indoor pool, so a single overcasted day or two is not a problem.
Why not check out both islands before you decide, where the summer holidays are going to be spend this year?

Welcome to Fanø
| Fanø, which is only 56 km2, is located just 1.5km from the mainland. It only takes about 12 minutes to take the Fanø ferry (FanøFærgen) from Esbjerg to Nordby on Fanø, whether you are on foot, on bicycle or by car. There are approximately 99km from Flensburg in Germany to Esbjerg in Denmark. The nearest airport is Billund. Nordby is the largest town in Fanø and definitely worth checking out, but I have highlighted three holiday resorts on Fanø, all offering large, delicious holiday homes. | |
Sønderho in Fanoe | The Most Beautiful Village in Denmark
| Sønderho, located on the southern tip of Fanø, was voted The Most Beautiful Village in Denmark in 2011, and the old fishing village are unquestioned idyllic and romantic. In clear weather you can see Mandø and Ribe from the village, which has only about 400 residents. The village has many beautiful houses from its prosperity period, from the mid 1700s until the year 1900th, of which 70 are protected. The museum, Hannes Hus (The House of Hanne), which is a modest, but not poor, Sønderho home from the sailing ship heyday in the late 1800s, gives a good impression of how people traditionally lived in Sønderho at that time. Quite a few artisans have settled in the small streets of the village with their workshops, gallewries and shops. There are many seals in the Wadden Sea around Fanø. It only takes half an hour to walk out to the large sand reef with seals southwest of Sønderho, where you can experience them in their natural surroundings. |   |
