De Eemhof: A Weekend Full of Action and Relaxation

Fancy a weekend where you can be active together but also truly unwind? At De Eemhof, you can have both. Spend your days sailing on the Eemmeer, or hop on your bikes to explore the beautiful surroundings. Cycle through the vast Horsterwold or choose another scenic route in Flevoland. Plenty of options!

In the evening, dine at restaurant Zuiderzoet with a view of the setting sun. No sun in sight? Don’t worry… you’ve got each other! End the day cozy by the fireplace in your cottage. Glass of wine in hand, favorite playlist on… and nothing else to worry about. Well, except maybe debating which song should play next.

Accommodation tip: Book a VIP Cottage with a luxurious bathroom featuring an infrared sauna and double whirlpool bath. The perfect spot to relax (and warm up) after an active day in the winter outdoors.

Terhills Resort: Luxury, Wellness, and Nature

Want to completely unwind, but in style? Terhills Resort is exactly what you’re looking for. This elegant park is set in nature, on the edge of Hoge Kempen National Park. Take a peaceful winter walk together through the hilly landscape, climb a spoil tip for panoramic views, and let the surrounding silence surprise you.

Within walking distance of the park is Elaisa Wellness, where you can literally wash the winter chill away. Back at the park, relaxation continues: a warm dip in the Aqua Mundo, a brisk game of pétanque, and then cozying up inside with views of the wintery water. The only thing to worry about here is whose feet are colder!

Accommodation tip: Choose an Exclusive Cottage by the water, with a private terrace, outdoor sauna, and rain shower. Robe on, slippers on, and you’re truly one with nature.

Park De Haan: Relaxing by the Sea

Craving fresh sea air, relaxation, and long walks hand in hand? Park De Haan is perfect for couples looking for quality time. From the park, you can easily walk to the beach for a long stroll or a relaxing afternoon at a beach café with snacks and drinks within reach. The nearby dune forests also offer a peaceful escape from everyday life.

Historic Bruges is just a short trip away and perfect for a romantic day exploring canals and charming streets. During the Christmas season, you can also enjoy beautiful Christmas markets. Prefer to stay closer? Reserve a table at one of the park’s lovely restaurants, or have your favorite dish delivered to your cottage. Now that’s a proper holiday!

Accommodation tip: Book a VIP Cottage with every comfort you can imagine. Salty sea air, soft light, and an empty schedule: this is going to be a top day!

Port Zélande: Sea, Water, and Zeeland Charm

Do you love being outdoors, the sea, and a touch of Zeeland charm? Then Port Zélande is the park for your romantic weekend away. From your cottage, you’re right at the Grevelingenmeer or the North Sea beach. Take a long walk with the wind in your hair and your mind completely clear. Afterwards, settle in for a tasty lunch of fresh mussels or a Zeeland pastry with your coffee!

The area around Port Zélande is also perfect for cycling trips. Cycle over the Brouwersdam and spot the seals at the Brouwerssluizen. Or stop by the cozy town of Ouddorp for a bite and a drink.

Accommodation tip: Go for a Comfort Cottage with a fireplace. It has everything you need for a relaxing weekend by the sea, with plenty of space to unwind together.

Erperheide: Endless Calm and Quality Time

Want to slow down completely and spend real time together? Erperheide is nestled in greenery on the edge of Bosland National Park. This park is perfect for couples seeking peace and simplicity. Take a long winter walk through the forest, hop on your bikes, and enjoy the surrounding quiet. Often, the most beautiful conversations happen in this kind of calm.

For something really special, book a horse-drawn carriage ride through the area, guided past the most scenic spots. Perfect for Valentine’s Day! End the day cozy in your cottage under a blanket, watching a romantic comedy. Spoiler: it always has a happy ending.

Accommodation tip: Choose a Premium Apartment with a fireplace, made beds, and a cozy seating area. Everything you need for a proper dose of quality time.
