Staying by the sea: 23 of the best beach hotels and beach houses in the Netherlands

There's nothing better than waking up with a sea view. Not just abroad, but in the Netherlands too! That's why I've compiled a list of my favorite seaside hotels (and sometimes even right on the beach) for you. I say hotels, but to complete the selection for the perfect staycation and a mini road trip through the Netherlands, I've also included the nicest beach houses, from Zeeland All the way to Bloemendaal, compiled into one ultimate list. The result? No fewer than 22 seaside hotels and the most beautiful beach houses throughout the Netherlands, where you can sit with your feet in the sand until late at night.

Perhaps you recognize this, because what's more relaxing than looking out over the water? How nice is it to drink a glass of wine on your own balcony at the end of the day and feel like you're in France for a moment? With a year full of staycations This list is also perfect for shorter trips so you can always visit different beautiful places The Netherlands discover. To compile this fantastic list of seaside hotels, I only considered hotels located directly on the sea, in the dunes, or within 500 meters of the beach. I say: dig your toes in the sand, a cold drink in hand, and enjoy!

I've rounded up a complete list with the coziest and most festive Christmas markets in Amsterdam you don't want to miss this year. Think twinkling lights, mulled wine, food stalls, live music, unique gifts and lots of Christmas vibes all December long.

Whether you're planning a festive day with the fam or friends, or just want to soak up that holiday spirit. These are the markets in Amsterdam to put on your calendar now. 🎄✨

HOME ALONE 4 INCOMING 😅 My trip to NYC ends in a bad (Christmas) movie when the hotel gives my carry-on luggage with passport to an old lady who doesn't realize this and checks the luggage on a flight to the UK!

Now I'm stuck here in NY without a passport, and I missed my flight.

I've experienced a lot in all the years I've been traveling for Your Little Black Book, but this is a first 😅.

This chat video is purely therapeutic in nature 🤣🤣🤣. Because really: HOW?! 🫢

Note to self: it's better to carry your passport all day, instead of leaving it "safely" in the hotel, apparently... and from now on, attach suitcases with cables in the storage room. Even if you're staying in a luxurious and expensive hotel, everything is still done by humans.

Now I'm stuck in one of the world's coolest cities, but of course I just want to be home with Manuel, as planned. 😔

To be continued 🧳✈️

And thanks for all the sweet DMs ❤️❤️❤️❤️

How cool is this? There are places in the Netherlands where you can cut down your own Christmas tree! You don't hear about it very often, even though it's quite common in America (where I'm currently!).

Good to know: some of these places in the Netherlands are only open for a few days a year and you have to reserve a time slot.

This time we went to @williams.farmhouse, one of my favorite lunch spots in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. But is it also fun during the day with kids?

We ordered a 'plain' version of the Farmhouse burger 🍔: yes, really just meat + cheese 🤣… and together with the fries it was a mega success.

Happy child, happy us... and it was such a cozy, rainy afternoon. I mean, this interior makes me dream of the Cotswolds again!

Do you have a favorite 𝗸𝗶𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁 in Amsterdam or the Netherlands?

23 Beach Hotels and Seaside Cottages in the Netherlands You Want to Know

The Beach Hotel (Cadzand-Bad): Staying at Het Strandhotel is still high on my bucket list. This hotel also boasts wonderful restaurants, and we're especially curious about what new features await us at the famous Pure C in Cadzand. You can book various packages, but you can also reserve individual rooms. The rooms are modern yet warmly decorated, and the balcony or terrace (also available with a sea view) features Piet Boon furniture.
Boulevard de Wielingen 49, Cadzand-Bad

Beach hotel Cadzand-bad

Maris Apartments (Egmond aan Zee): I'm a firm believer in always having something to look forward to. In September, we're spending a long weekend enjoying the late summer at Maris Apartments in Egmond aan Zee. Of course, staying by the sea in the middle of summer is fantastic, but it's especially enjoyable in the fall, when you practically have the beaches to yourself and the temperatures are still mild. When I contacted the team behind these incredibly beautiful (and wonderfully luxurious) apartments during the booking process, I was told that they're also very popular in the winter for celebrating holidays like Christmas or New Year's Eve. And I have to say... I'll keep that in mind!
Boulevard South 9-21, Egmond aan Zee

View the rates

Maris Apartments

Beach Villas (Hoek van Holland): On the North Sea coast, near Hoek van Holland, lie the beautiful Largo Beach Villas. Here, you'll wake up surrounded by dunes with a sea view. Choose one of the many cycling and walking routes or simply enjoy the sea. The numerous water sports are literally on your doorstep. Another great option: the coastal tram takes you to Rotterdam, The Hague, and Delft in no time.
Zeekant 125, Hoek van Holland

Beach Villas, Hoek van Holland

Poort Beach Boutique Apartments (Bloemendaal): Whenever we drive past this hotel, I always think of De Efteling. Such a unique building! For years, I've wondered what it would look like inside. And I can tell you, it looks perfect for a wonderful staycation. Let's be honest: there's hardly a better location in Bloemendaal aan Zee. Hopefully, we can check in again this summer, because I expect the rooms will be filling up fast!
Seaway 100-134, Bloemendaal by the Sea

Poort Beach Boutique Apartments

Vesper Hotel (Noordwijk aan Zee): This charming boutique hotel is located on Noordwijk's boulevard. Each room is uniquely decorated, and some rooms offer sea views. The hotel is owned by the same people as Beachclub Bries, and after a day at the beach, you simply have to cross the boulevard to reach the hotel. Vesper also has a lovely restaurant and bar where you can enjoy a drink later in the evening. As a bonus, as a hotel guest, you can use the facilities of the Azzurro Wellness Centre, just over a kilometer from the hotel, free of charge. Tip: Don't forget to make a reservation at the charming beach tents in Noordwijk such as Tulum Tulum.
Royal Astrid Boulevard 46, Noordwijk

Vesper Hotel

Logis Strandhotel Camperduin (Schoorl): The area around Schoorl is so beautiful! Enjoy walking through the dunes. Relax (with the kids) on the beach, dine on fish in the evening, and then curl up in bed at Logis Strandhotel Camperduin. A wonderful base right behind the beach. Tip: This hotel is also a great base for a morning trip to Alkmaar.

Logis Strandhotel Camperduin

Blooming Hotel (Bergen): Okay, okay. I said a maximum of 500 meters from the beach. At Blooming, I'm cheating a bit, because their beach club is right ON the beach, but the hotel is six kilometers away, surrounded by forest and on the edge of the dunes. It has its own restaurant (Vigor), lovely rooms, and an indoor pool and sauna, making it a perfect base in the fall as well.
Duinweg 5, Bergen

Sea Lodges (Bloemendaal): It's truly my dream to one day own a second home like these. Since it'll probably remain a dream, a weekend stay in one of these lovely Sea Lodges is much more achievable. These beach houses near Bloemendaal are beautifully bright and modernly furnished, and have a lovely terrace where you can relax. They're nestled right in the dunes near Bloemendaal aan Zee, and you can walk straight onto the beach. It doesn't get any better than this!

Villa Parnassia (Bergen aan Zee): If you enjoy small-scale accommodation, Villa Parnassia in Bergen is the perfect choice. The six rooms are beautifully decorated and bright, each with a slightly different layout. Each room has its own kitchenette, equipped with a microwave, kettle, and toaster, so you can always prepare something "at home." And perhaps best of all: this villa is just 30 meters from the beach.
Parkweg 31, Bergen aan Zee

Dune Hotel Tien Torens (Zoutelande): How cool does this "green" hotel look? I should actually say apartment-hotel, because you can also book lodges with private kitchens. There are family rooms, double rooms, and dogs are welcome upon request. The hotel is located right behind the Zoutelande dunes, just 400 meters from the beach.
Duneweg 36, Zoutelande

Duinhotel Tien Torens

Pier7 (Vlissingen): At Pier7, you'll be staying right on the beach at the eponymous beach club. The studios are suitable for two adults and one child (cribs available upon request) and feature a private terrace with a sea view. Fingers crossed for a beautiful summer, because then it's a wonderful place to be at the foot of Vlissingen's boulevard. If, like me, you have a small child, I can easily imagine them marveling at the large container ships sailing past the harbor of Vlissingen through the shipping channel near the beach.
Boulevard Evertsen 1, Vlissingen

The Hague Beach Houses (The Hague): The designer furniture and stunning views of the Haagsche Strandhuisjes ensure you'll enjoy your stay to the fullest. Here, you're nestled in an oasis of tranquility amidst the dunes, yet also within easy reach of Kijkduin's bustling boulevard. Rent a bike or lace up your walking shoes and explore the many routes, or plan a day trip to The Hague.

Boulevard 5 (Zandvoort): This family apartment hotel was completely renovated in 2017, and it was a resounding success. The apartments and studios are bright and airy. Another nice touch: they have a kitchenette with amenities like a microwave and kettle, so you can whip up a delicious breakfast in the morning. The location is perfect, with the best restaurants on both sides of the city. beach tents within walking distance.

The tower (Den Helder): If you're looking for a unique place to stay, Het Torentje on the Huisduinen dike is highly recommended. The former coastguard tower has been transformed into a luxury three-story apartment. The living room is located on the top floor and offers a 360° view of the sea, the beach, the dike, and Huisduinen. Or take a stroll on the balcony and enjoy the stunning view with the wind in your hair. It's the perfect place to unwind!

North Sea Resort (Vlissingen): If you stay here, you'll sleep in a beach house on Nollenstrand with a sea view. Imagine how special that will be? Waking up and walking straight into the sea, or taking a stroll along the beach when no one's there yet. The houses sleep four to five people and are fully equipped, including a bathroom and kitchen.

C-view (Cadzand-Bad): Planning a weekend getaway to Zeeland with the whole family or friends?

This four-room apartment is wonderfully luxurious and overlooks the sea.

Badhotel Rockanje (Rockanje): Just 400 meters from the beach, nestled in the dunes of Rockanje, you'll find this seaside hotel that immediately reminds me of a lodge in an American national park. It's surrounded by tall conifers and features an outdoor pool for those who prefer to avoid the sand. It's also very family-friendly!

The Pier Suites (Scheveningen): Should I say "by the sea" or "on the sea"? This hotel is literally located on the Scheveningen pier, with the sea and water views below. Open the doors to your room, crack open a bottle of wine or enjoy another refreshing drink, and all you have to do is relax and enjoy your staycation. There's a food hall on the pier, or make a reservation at one of the restaurants on the boulevard. But honestly? I'd recommend having something delivered and eating at home with a sea view!

Punt West Hotel & Beach Resort (Ouddorp): Officially, Punt West isn't located on the coast, but on Lake Grevelingen. Since you can rent a lovely house or apartment right on the water here, I thought I'd share a tip with you. The hotel is located on the island of Goeree-Overflakke, between Zeeland and Rotterdam, and from there you can explore all directions during your staycation.

Hotel de Blanke Top (Cadzand-Bad): Looking at this hotel's spa, you might think it's primarily a couples-friendly hotel. But that's not entirely true; they have a playroom for kids and family rooms. Cadzand-Bad is high on my staycation list for this summer. Hotel de Blanke T has its own restaurant, but there are plenty of options for dinner in the village.
