Domburg looks back on a long history as a spa town, starting as early as 1834. The town is famous for its healing sea air and the special quality of light that attracted artists like Piet Mondrian and Jan Toorop in the early 20th century. Today, Domburg provides a blend of sophisticated flair, cozy street cafes, and top-tier beaches that are regularly awarded the Blue Flag. Visitors especially appreciate the De Manteling nature reserve, a strip of forest directly behind the dunes that shields the town from sea winds. The Marie Tak van Poortvliet Museum showcases changing exhibitions about the Domburg artists' colony. The town's landmark is the historic Badhotel, which sits majestically above the resort. Culinary-wise, the region features fresh North Sea specialties, particularly Zeeland mussels and oysters. Arrival is mostly via the A58 motorway towards Middelburg. The best time to visit is from May to September, when the beach pavilions are in full swing and the mild sea climate is well-suited for cycling tours along the coast.
