Looking for a disabled friendly holiday destination? Texel has various facilities that enable visitors with a disability to enjoy this special island to the max. Explore nature, hit the beach, go for a swim or a lovely bike ride on an adapted bike!
It can often be quite hard for people with a disability to access the beach. To make things easier, special facilities are provided (in the summer) on the beach on Texel e.g. the provision of a concrete beach path in various locations that runs right up to the high-tide line.
Beach wheelchairs with extra wide tyres are available for free at beach pavilions (they can’t be moved independently). Want to go exploring by yourself? Hire a CadWeazle at Paal 17 or 28: an off-road wheelchair with a quiet, powerful electric motor.
Many of our guests visit Texel for its unique natural beauty. Fortunately, several nature reserves and footpaths are also easily accessible by wheelchair.
The new swimming pool at Holiday Park De Krim is easily accessible to disabled visitors. At the reception desk/entrance, there is wide access for wheelchairs, in the changing rooms there is a fully equipped disabled room with toilet/shower/changing bench and alarm system. A pool hoist has been fitted in the pool to lift you in and out of your wheelchair/the water if you need assistance.
An adapted holiday home makes for a wonderful, relaxed holiday. At De Krim Texel, you have a choice of several adapted bungalows and apartments. Will you be staying at the fun-filled Holiday Park De Krim in De Cocksdorp? Maybe a small-scale, quiet park instead? Then Bungalow Park ’t Hoogelandt or Residentie Californië may be just what you are looking for! Or do you prefer a hotel? Book an adapted hotel room at Hotel Molenbos.
Yes certainly, we have several accommodations equipped for disabled people. In these accommodations there are no thresholds or support bars in the bathroom. During the booking process you can easily filter on this.
At Vermeulen Bikes in Den Hoorn you can rent adapted bicycles or a mobility scooter for your stay on Texel. Check out the Vermeulen Bikes website for the assortment.
