Discover the Beaufort Sculpture Park during your stay at Hotel Villa Select

Elevate your coastal escape by pairing a relaxing stay at Hotel Villa Select with an inspiring stroll through the Beaufort Beeldenpark, where striking sculptures bring the De Panne coastline to life.

A seaside stay is more than sun, sea, and beach… it also features outdoor art and culture. From Hotel Villa Select, the stunning collection of the Beaufort Beeldenpark is literally within reach. These artworks, scattered along the coast and in the dunes, can be admired year-round and turn every walk into a unique experience.

Combine your stay with us with an exploration of these impressive sculptures — the perfect outing after a relaxing morning in our wellness area or a delightful breakfast overlooking the sea.

Permanent sculptures in De Panne

  • Staging Sea — Filip Vervaet (2024)
    A site-specific installation in a restored dune area. Glass panels interact with sunlight and weather conditions, causing the piece to constantly change appearance.
  • Touching to sea you trough our extremities - A giant octopus has washed up on De Panne beach! Laure Prouvost's work was placed along the sea's high-tide line in relation to Beaufort21.
  • Boundaries of Infinity — Norbert Francis Attard
    A monumental concrete work based on the Fibonacci sequence, reflecting the harmony and infinity of nature.
  • Christophorus — Gerhard Lentink
    An imposing wooden figure almost 7 meters tall, appearing to step out of the dunes. A tribute to the patron saint of travelers.
  • De Drie Wijsneuzen van De Panne — Jos De Gruyter & Harald Thys
    Three stately heads on tall pillars, standing like guardians overlooking the sea and beach.
  • Twin Stations — Matt Mullican
    A sculpture inspired by the coastal tram, symbolizing the connection between people and places along the coast.
  • Monument for Cervus Vitalis #2 (Malus Sylvestris) — Stief DeSmet
    A fragmented bronze deer with polished and rough sections. The piece raises questions about the relationship between humans, nature, and art.
