Van der Valk Hotel Texel - De Koog
With more than a hundred hotels at home and abroad, Van der Valk is one of the largest family businesses in the Netherlands. Founder Martinus van der Valk has provided for over 800 family members. In January 2021, the Langebeek-van der Valk family took over Hotel De Pelikaan on Texel, and the family also runs two more hotels in the north of the Netherlands. The three sons of Tjomme Langebeek and Corry Van der Valk are in charge; Stijn Langebeek inHotel Groningen-Hoogkerk, Sjoerd Langebeek inHotel Drachten, and Derk Langebeek in Hotel Texel-De Koog.
Van der Valk Hotel Texel - De Koog
Derk Langebeek is returning to the roots of his grandmother Corry van der Valk-de Wit (1926 – 2017) and building the future of Van der Valk Hotel Texel - De Koog. 'Grandma Corry' was born and raised on the farm 'de Vooruitgang' in De Cocksdorp on Texel. Van der Valk Hotel Texel - De Koog is a dream come true where new family stories will be written. After the purchase in January 2021, the 3-star hotel was quickly transformed into a 4-star hotel. Derk and Lisa's goal is to eventually transform the hotel to meet the Van der Valk 4-star+ standard.
Introducing
My name is Derk Langebeek (4th generation of the Van der Valk family) and together with Lisa (van Esch), I moved to the beautiful Texel due to the acquisition of Hotel de Pelikaan at the beginning of 2021. We are immensely proud to have received the opportunity and trust to transform the hotel into Van der Valk Hotel Texel-De Koog. After both finishing hotel management school and gaining years of experience in various hotels, we are now allowed to run the first Van der Valk establishment on the Waddeneilanden on the beautiful Texel. We look forward to a beautiful future on the Wadden!

More about us
Why Texel?
Who was grandma Corry van der Valk-De Wit?
Corry van der Valk, the mother of Stijn, Sjoerd, and Derk Langebeek, proudly tells us about the life of her own mother, Corry van der Valk-de Wit. Grandma Corry is the link in the connection with Texel. The connection that after many years resulted in a Van der Valk hotel on Texel. The hotel that Tjomme and Corry, along with their sons, worked so hard on. Corry still often thinks how unfortunate it is that her mother could not have lived to see it.
