In 2013 Domburg was given the official status of ‘health resort’. This means it meets all the international criteria set out by the German Spa Association. The sea water, the climate and the natural resources of the soils here have health-giving properties. Together with Cadzand, Domburg is the only Dutch seaside town to have this designation.

Close by to Domburg is the nature reserve of Manteling van Walcheren. Here you can enjoy walks amongst the trees, dunes and old country houses. Kasteel Westhove is also located here. In the former orangery of the castle there is now a museum: Terra Maris. The museum puts on temporary exhibitions which show Zeeland’s diverse nature and relate the history of the landscape. There is a special cycle route ('Fietsen door de Manteling en historisch Veere‘) which will help you explore Domburg and the Manteling nature reserve. 

Domburg is known as being one of the best places to surf in the Netherlands. Relatively speaking, the waves along this part of the coast are bigger and more frequent than elsewhere. Depending on the weather, you can enjoy the sun, the sea and the sand, as well as the surfing. Never learned to surf? Why not take surfing lessons and practice the sport safely? On the Noordduine beach is the Surfschool Domburg. Here you can take courses surfing, stand-up paddleboarding and skimboarding.

Domburg has much to offer in the culinary sphere. From grand café to pancake house, and from fast-food to five-course dinners, punctiliously served with fresh local ingredients. Domburg is not tied to any one particular cuisine. Book a table at De Visbar, where you can choose from numerous fish dishes prepared to the very highest standards of taste. Or watch your meal being prepared in the open kitchen at De Boterkapel and pamper your taste buds. Enjoy a drink on the terrace at Markt Zes, situated next to the Johanneskerk, and savour Domburg’s delights. After a late night, flop down on a lounger at the trendy beach club, OAXACA.
