Westende is a part of Middelkerke and a nice seaside town on the Flemish Coast. With its clean beaches and many relaxation options, it is the ideal destination for a child-friendly and carefree beach holiday in your own country. Moreover, you are only a small distance away from cities such as Ypres, Ostend and Bruges.Westende was once a seaside town where only the rich were welcome. That has changed completely, but the grandeur of earlier times has left a unique mark on the seaside resort. You will find the beautiful Villa Les Zéphyrs, with the beautiful Art Nouveau interior of Henry Van de Velde, and the Rotonde, an architectural gem that was a hotel for a long time.The Saint-Theresia chapel in Westende-Bad and the neo-gothic Saint-Laurentius church in Westende-Dorp are also worth a visit.
