Getting There

  • Walking

    From the lively ferry terminal and Nordby village center, it’s a leisurely 20–30-minute walk westward through residential areas, with the sea breeze as your constant companion. As you approach the iconic dunes, the resort’s red-roofed buildings come into view, nestled near the coast. The route is mostly flat and paved, with occasional stretches of sandy path near the end. Along the way, look for glimpses of the church spire or local art installations dotting the landscape.

  • Taxi

    Taxis are readily available at the ferry and Nordby square, offering a swift 5–10-minute ride to the resort. Fares usually range from DKK 80–120 depending on time and traffic. The drive traces the edge of the dunes, which are visible on your right as you near the property.

  • Bicycle

    Cycling is a favored way to reach the resort from Fanø’s central hub, with dedicated cycle paths running parallel to open heathland and beach meadows. The journey takes about 10–15 minutes at a relaxed pace. Bicycle rentals are widely available and affordable (from around DKK 60 per day).

  • Car

    Parking is available on-site for guests, but spaces can fill during busy summer weekends. There are no tolls, and driving from the ferry is straightforward. Public parking in Nordby is limited, so guests are advised to bring their car only if essential.

Discover more about Danland Fanø

Tucked into the sandy landscapes of Fanø’s northwestern coast, Danland Fanø welcomes visitors to a classic Danish seaside experience. This holiday centre, popular among families and couples, is just steps away from one of Denmark’s widest beaches—a stretch of golden sand bordered by wild dunes and windswept grasslands. Accommodation comes in the form of self-catering holiday apartments and houses, many with sea or dune views, and all designed to capture the cozy, uncluttered style that defines coastal Denmark. The resort itself offers a harmonious blend of simplicity and amenities. An indoor pool complex is ideal for days when the North Sea wind howls, while spa facilities, saunas, and tennis courts ensure there’s plenty to do whatever the weather. Children can tumble across adventure playgrounds or join in organized activities during high season, while adults might prefer the relaxation of the sunny terrace or evening walks to the shore at sunset. Fanø itself is best known for its curious blend of nature and tradition. The island’s historic villages are lined with thatched-roof houses, quirky art galleries, and charming cafés—many a short walk or cycle from Danland. The area is celebrated for its wildlife, particularly migrating seals and birds, which can often be spotted along the coastline. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of kite flying, mudflat hiking, or exploring the heritage of Nordby, Danland’s friendly atmosphere provides an easy, welcoming home base. Its beachfront setting, only a short distance from the island’s main ferry, makes it both a gateway and a destination, suited to visitors looking for relaxation, recreation, or a uniquely Danish island escape.
