The best of Domburg, Zeeland (and yes, all year long that is)
Domburg. The seaside resort where many Dutch (and Germans) visit. But Domburg is not only fun for the summer. No dude. You are in Domburg all year round good/baked/top. Why, we hear you think? There are a few wonderful gems of catering establishments in this small but nice Zeeland village, ha! That deserved a list of five places that are really nice in Domburg. All year long. You're welcome!
Bet we know the most beautiful hostel? And lucky you...that is right here in the Netherlands. In Domburg, that is. We are talking about Stayokay Domburg, housed in the fairytale-like Westhove Castle. A 13th-century castle, surrounded by greenery and less than a five-minute walk from the beach. It doesn't get any better than that, does it? Well, the people at Stayokay go the extra mile. You can sleep in one of the tower rooms for two or four people, but there are also lovely family rooms and double rooms. Inside, you will find a restaurant and a cozy bar, while outside awaits the castle garden with a terrace by the water. And from the front door, you can walk straight into the De Manteling nature reserve. Moreover, there is plenty to do with children. Next to the castle is the Terra Maris nature museum, and you can simply rent bicycles at the reception. Domburg, Oostkapelle, and Westkapelle are all within cycling distance. And hey, when you hear the word hostel, just forget everything you think you know. Here, there is no 'oh, it's fine for a night,' but simply a fantastic, unique place.
On the well-known Weststraat in Domburg you will find the Beer & Milk ParlorThis 'salon' is an organic food and drink shop where you can go for breakfast, lunch, delicious coffee, and homemade cakes, all in a super sweet shop. Here you can buy the most beautiful tableware, delicious wines, and good olive oil as a gift or souvenir (for yourself). In the 'salon' section, you can settle down for food and drinks. How about coffee or beer with a pastrami sandwich and fennel soup? Don't forget the cakes; it would be a shame not to. Pure feasting! Oh, and for the little ones, there is a stack of games and puzzles.
Extra fun: in the summer you can enjoy the sun on the hidden terrace.
Meet Oaxaca Domburg: a beach bar that actually meets all the requirements. The interior, the people, and the location—all fan-tas-tic and regal. Literally. Two years ago, the King and Queen even stopped by. But don't worry, the prices on the menu are fortunately not too steep. For lunch, order a good burger, a substantial sandwich, or something tasty from the sea, and for dinner, sit down for all kinds of delicious meat, fish, or vegetarian dishes. Oh, and definitely don't forget to order that generously stocked charcuterie board beforehand. Please note: Oaxaca is open all year round, but in the summer it is walk-ins only!
This cheerful store with fair trade home accessories and organic café is a real explosion of color in Domburg.

In the fair trade café, they work with organic and local products as much as possible. We like!
From is perhaps the most beautiful fashion store With its own label from all of Zeeland. No boring clothing, but really fine (plus unique) brands. You know, Le Bonnet, Flattered, and Puraai. All items are wonderfully timeless, in neutral colors, and made from the finest fabrics.
And they also have jewelry there. Very beautiful. With all that beauty, it's great if you can walk out the door without a bag in your hand.
The Visbar. The name says it all. It's the one place to be If you love fish, a few nights in Domburg wouldn't be complete without a bite to eat at De Visbar. Yes, really. Because being in Zeeland without tasting something from the sea is simply unthinkable. At De Visbar, you can sit down for 'traditional' fish dishes such as salmon, sole, or sea bream. Other fish have been given a modern twist. Hello, sushi + sashimi and ceviche. They are also open for lunch.
You definitely won't regret a visit to this top tent. Promise!
