Those in search of sun, sea and sand might not automatically think of the Zeeland coast, but anyone willing to break the mould will be rewarded with a stunning setting amidst the dunes, just 300m from a vast North Sea Beach.

Stretching as far as the eye can see in both directions, it's easy enough to find a secluded section to claim as your own. Alternatively, follow the crowds to any one of several beachside restaurants that offer up spectacular seafood overlooking the water.

After a day down the beach, return home to your sophisticated beach bolthole. As is typical in the Netherlands, the interior strikes a carefully considered balance between style and function. Every element has a specific purpose – it just has to look great at the same time.

The resort offers a host of facilities, including a bar, a convenience store, a fishmonger, and an ice cream parlour. And if you don't feel like rustling up dinner for the whole family, there's an on-site restaurant serving Dutch delicacies.

Slightly further afield, Zeeland's charismatic capital of Middelburg is a little over fifteen minutes away. Here, we'd suggest discovering its fascinating history as you wander the spectacular streets, set out on a scenic cycle through its many parks, and marvel at its manor houses.
