In January 2021, the Langebeek-van der Valk family took over Hotel De Pelikaan on Texel.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 of the daily management; Stijn Langebeek in Hotel Groningen-Hoogkerk, Sjoerd Langebeek in Hotel Drachten and Derk Langebeek in Hotel Texel-De Koog.

VAN DER VALK HOTEL TEXEL - DE KOOG
Derk Langebeek goes back to the roots of his grandmother Corry van der Valk-de Wit (1926 - 2017) and builds on the future of Van der Valk Hotel Texel - De Koog. 'Oma Corry' was born and raised on farm "de Vooruitgang" in De Cocksdorp on Texel. Van der Valk Hotel Texel - De Koog is a dream come true and where new family stories will be written.

INTRODUCE
My name is Derk Langebeek (4th generation of the Van der Valk family) and with Lisa (van Esch), I moved to beautiful Texel, in connection with the takeover of Hotel de Pelikaan at the beginning of 2021. We are proud that we received the opportunity and the confidence to transform the hotel into Van der Valk Hotel Texel-De Koog. After we both have completed the hotel school and have gained years of experience in different hotels, we are ready to run the first Van der Valk location on the Wadden Islands on the beautiful Texel. We look forward to a bright future on the Wadden!
