About Juist

One of the seven striking East Frisian islands which frame the north-western tip of Lower Saxony, Juist is a fabulous destination for couples, families or friends looking to unwind. Car-free, this little island embraces a slower pace of life — ideal for keen ramblers or cyclists. Tranquil and indulgent, the best places to stay in Juist promise ocean views and mouth-watering seafood, plus easy access to a wealth of island activities.

Only 16km², Juist is effectively an enormous sand dune, shifting with the waves and tides. Perched between the North Sea and the Wadden Sea, this is a wild, windswept land, perfect for long walks, bicycle rides, picnics and wildlife-spotting. See colonies of seals basking in the sunshine, venture out onto the mudflats of the Wadden Sea to admire myriad rare birds and an all-too-fragile ecosystem, or head further out to sea on sailing and kayaking excursions.

Rejuvenating thalassotherapy treatments come highly recommended, as do cosy afternoons spent reading within sight of the sea. Tuck into flavoursome fresh seafood, and reconnect over long, lazy dinners as a family or group of friends. Close to both Norderney and Langeoog, Juist is particularly popular in the summer months. You’ll find that the best places to stay in Juist fill up fast during the school holidays, so book your trip well in advance!
