First sweat, then swim. A visit to a beach sauna on Sylt not only boosts the body's defenses, but also pampers you with a unique sea experience. The sauna season usually starts in April and ends in October. With the surf always in view, it is possible to relax wonderfully with fragrant aromas inside the sauna huts, on the terraces or in one of the beach chairs. Beach saunas are true oases of relaxation and have long had cult status on the island. You can combine sauna and beach fun at four locations on Sylt. The Hörnum beach sauna is the most traditional beach sauna on Sylt. Surrounded by the nature reserve, it can be easily reached by car as well as by bicycle. Guests can choose between a classic Finnish sauna or a somewhat milder bio sauna with infrared light, in which the thermometer only climbs to 65 degrees Celsius. A wooden staircase leads to the FFK beach. From there, cooling off in the tides is not far away. Since 1972, sauna lovers have been making a pilgrimage to the Strandsauna List, which is surrounded by a dune landscape and scores points with its visitors for its spacious outdoor area with beach chairs and its own beach access. Whether for large or small in the four saunas, which are operated with different concepts is something for everyone. In the summer months, a successful day can be rounded off by taking a sauna during the sunset.  At the foot of the dunes, just a few meters from the water, is the Rantum beach sauna. There on the beach with a wonderful view of the North Sea, you can melt away in a Finnish sauna and then cool off in the North Sea. Pure relaxation is also offered by the large terrace with comfortable beach chairs, where you can unwind after a refreshing bath. The Samoa beach sauna can be easily reached by public transport. It is located on the popular nudist beach section Samoa, which you can also visit clothed. Guests can choose between a classic and a steam sauna. The special highlight: the extra-large panorama window, which offers a magnificent view of the beach and sea while taking a sauna. Those who want to fortify themselves after a sauna can visit the well-known "Seepferdchen" restaurant next door.

Health is of central importance today. For many decades, tourists have been coming to Sylt to enjoy the healthy climate, the salty air and the island's diverse health offerings. The focus has long been not only on getting healthy, but also on staying healthy. Thus, over time, Sylt has also established itself as a center of excellence for health and prevention. Here you will find specialized spa clinics such as Germany's northernmost clinic, the Asklepios Nordseeklinik in Westerland. Located directly behind the dunes, it includes not only a hospital for the acutely ill, but also a rehabilitation center. People with dermatological, pneumological, oncological and orthopedic ailments find competent support for regeneration there.

The Insel-Klinik Sylt specializes in mother-child and father-child cures. In the low-allergen North Sea ice climate, parents and their children can find medical-therapeutic help here as part of a three-week inpatient cure, including for respiratory, skin, and metabolic diseases, psychosomatic-psychovegetative illnesses, or diseases of the heart and circulation.

On Sylt measures from the Thalasso therapy are used in particular. They make use of the health-promoting characteristics of the sea, for example in the form of mud packs, algae wraps or thermal baths.
