Villas in Oksbøl

About Oksbøl

Oksbøl is a small town of under three thousand people in Varde Municipality, 14 km west of Varde and 23 km north-west of Esbjerg. The homes are spread around the area, over some ten kilometres, so check the map for each house. Most sleep about six with three bedrooms. Over half have a sauna, nearly all a fireplace, and a few have a pool. The town has two railway stations, Oksbøl and Baunhøj, on the Vestbanen line, and the FLUGT refugee museum, opened in 2022 on the site of a camp that held up to 37,000 German refugees after the Second World War. Blåvand, Vejers Strand and Henne Strand supply the beaches. Evenings in town are quiet, and off season the area empties.

Summer is the main season on this coast, and the Tirpitz Museum at Blåvand stretches its hours to 09:00 to 19:00 from 1 July to 15 August, against 10:00 to 17:00 otherwise. Outside summer the coast is quiet and open to the wind, which suits walking and a house with a sauna and fireplace. Check opening times before you drive out.
