Welcoming holiday homes in Denmark

Spend your summer break in a holiday home in the seaport of Tejn with its maritime at­mosp­he­re featuring a large harbour with active fishing, a boatyard, and cutters of all colours and sizes. Tejn is home to artists and other creative souls, so there are plenty of local creations to explore, such as ceramics and paintings, in addition to local food ex­pe­ri­en­ces. There are several historic churches and buildings nearby, including one of the island’s famous round churches. Tejn is not far from Ham­mers­hus and the stunning natural en­viron­ment around Ham­mer­knu­den, which is de­fi­ni­te­ly worth a visit.

Saksild Strand is a popular holiday home area just outside the town of Saksild. The area is par­ti­cu­lar­ly well-known for its beautiful beach of the same name. Indeed, the beach is actually referred to as one of East Jutland’s best beaches. Here there is white sand and calm waters without large waves and un­dercur­rents. And of course, the beach has also been awarded Blue Flag-cer­ti­fi­ca­tion for such fine swimming con­di­tions. In and around the holiday home area you will find several good eateries and a nearby ice cream house known for its great ice cream. From Saksild Strand you have a 20-minute drive to Aarhus, while you can get to Odder in 10 minutes.

A stone’s throw from Denmark’s sout­her­n­most point sits Gedesby, which offers authentic village vibes and idyllic scenery. In and around the town you will find beautiful old houses, thatched farm­hou­ses and cosy green landsca­pes. The church, which dates back to the 1300s, is nestled in the centre of the town sur­ro­un­ded by the quaint main street and beautiful old mill. The area plays an important role in Denmark’s history so there is a lot of local folklore and tales to explore. The nature here is fantastic, with plan­ta­tions, hiking trails and forests – and not least Gedesby Beach, which stretches as far as the eye can see.
