VANDret Hotel & Restaurant: A peaceful place surrounded by unspoiled nature and the sea

Nestled between the town and the sand dunes, welcoming family-run hotel and restaurant VANDret makes for a wonderful place to visit. With serene surroundings and an unparalleled beach on its doorstep, this destination offers unique and peaceful experiences for its guests.

Located 250 meters from the sea by one of Jutland’s most stunning beaches in Løkken, VANDret is an ideal place to take in wild nature, breathtaking landscapes, and high-end dining of fresh, local produce, making it so much more than just a place to sleep or eat.

“The hotel interior and the food we serve is inspired by the sea and our surroundings,” says Christian Middelbo Outzen, owner and day-to-day manager alongside his partner Jette. VANDret is situated in Løkken’s old schoolhouse, which the couple took over in 2016. After a complete overhaul, they have created a charming boutique hotel with 15 double rooms, breathing new life into an old building. Care and consideration have gone into the renovation, which also reflects the serene atmosphere and wild nature all around.

The couple opened the cosy restaurant in Easter 2023, and the calm experience of staying at the hotel extends to the restaurant. “We don’t want to rush our guests so have one sitting per night, leaving time to chat, appreciate each dish and soak up the atmosphere” Christian says. The restaurant has put Løkken on the Danish gastronomical map, and the owners aim to deliver the finest in fresh fish and food to guests.

Christian and Jette have travelled extensively and dreamt about running a small, family-friendly hotel, the kind of place they would seek out on their trips. “We reached a point thinking let’s just do this,’” he says. When the old schoolhouse came up for sale, they knew this was the place for them. It has been a huge project turning the old school into a beautiful hotel, breathing new life into the building. But it has paid off and VANDret has proven to be a great success, bringing business and visitors to Løkken.

The combination of wild untamed nature with a peaceful and unrushed ambiance is what the couple wants to share with their guests. And a visit to VANDret is guaranteed to leave you feeling at peace, rested, and wanting to return to enjoy the atmosphere, the personal touches and the outstanding food time and again.
