Villas in Hejls

About Hejls

The homes filed under Hejls are clustered at Hejlsminde, a small resort 2 km southeast of Hejls village, between the lagoon of Hejls Nor and Hejlsminde Bay on the Little Belt. Summer-house areas were built north of it from the 1950s to the 1970s. The beach is fine sand with a sandy bottom and shallow water, with a bathing jetty, a playground and a kiosk. The marina has a restaurant, and a grocery and bakery are within walking distance of the harbour. These are holiday houses of the larger kind: most have three bedrooms and sleep six or so, almost all have a wood burner, a fair number have a sauna, and almost none has a pool. Evenings are quiet. Outside summer this is a small seaside place, so plan days out in Kolding or Haderslev.

When to go to Hejls

Summer is the season for the shallow beach at Hejlsminde, and it is also when Legoland is busiest. Spring and autumn suit a house with a wood burner and sauna, with the lagoon's birdlife and sunsets over Hejls Nor for company. In winter the resort is very quiet, so plan days out in Kolding or Haderslev.
