Where you leave the beaten path behind and the vast openness of the Texel Wadden Sea invites you to rediscover your own rhythm. Where the power of nature meets gastronomy, and behind every flavour lies a landscape waiting to be discovered.
We look forward to welcoming you to our special place.
Make yourself at home at op Oost,
Valerie & Joram

In our kitchen, raw craft and fine dining come together with a Nordic style of growing, foraging and preserving. Experience our 'Served by Nature' philosophy. Welcome to restaurant “het Kook Atelier”.
An authentic Texel farmhouse, a stone's throw from the Wadden Sea, is home to our intimate boutique hotel with twelve Green Key suites and fine dining restaurant. Surrounded by an edible garden with herbs, flowers and a salty vegetable garden, you will discover a different, authentic island vibe.
Skip the beaten track, explore our island together and feel like a true local. From salty wild-picking to private oyster tours. “op Oost” is a place where salty & sweet meet, tranquility and quality prevail and nature has the highest word.

op Oost is a regenerative destination where you are not simply a guest, but become part of the nature that nourishes you. Our edible garden, the island landscapes surrounding us and our nearby orchard De Waelde Tuin, home to our eco farm camping retreat, come together with our local farmers, producers and you as our guest to form one living ecosystem.
Wander through the garden, sow with us, taste the harvest and uncover the secrets of the landscape. Feel how the elements set our rhythm.
There is nothing you have to do. You are exactly where you want to be. Here. Now. At op Oost.
Feel at home with ‘Thuis op Oost’. That feeling of having nowhere else you need to go, and nowhere else you’d rather be. So hold off on making other plans… and let op Oost surprise you. From a leisurely breakfast to lunch and dinner.
Together, we’ll create a stay that unfolds at your own pace. A place to savour the season, enjoy our kitchen’s offerings throughout the day and connect with the rhythm of the elements through our nature experiences. From a yoga session, time in the outdoor sauna or a massage to exploring our garden and the tidal flats.
For a while, there’s nothing you need to do. You’re already where you want to be: op Oost


What do you hear when it's quiet? Wake up to the whispering of the wind and the first rays of the sun in the morning. The beautiful moon in the starry sky makes you feel at ease. In a world in which we are constantly 'switched on', don’t you want to take a break from it all? Truly enjoying the present moment and making memories together. Today, tomorrow, right now. That is what it feels like, spending the night on Texel, what it feels like spending the night “op Oost”.
Our 'Oostories' are stories from ourselves, our guests and partners and can be about anything that happens on and around our Texel based boutique hotel. Stories, “op Oost”, that is. We hope you enjoy reading them.
We really appreciate meeting you in either our hotel or our restaurant. Follow us on instagram, sign up for the updates by email to stay up to date with the new menu, to stay up to date on what the chickens have experienced today and what nature is serving at the moment.
