Drenthe now joins an impressive list of destinations where hospitality is a top priority. And you can feel it in every encounter, in every village, and at every accommodation – especially at Park de Zeegser Duinen.

It’s no surprise that Drenthe has received this international recognition. The province exudes tranquility, space, and friendliness. But there’s more to it than just beautiful places to stay – Drenthe is a place to experience.

Explore the scenic landscapes that once inspired Vincent van Gogh through the Van Gogh cycling routes, or lace up your hiking boots and wander through the Dwingelderveld, where the iconic Drenther heath sheep peacefully graze.

A history buff? Step back in time in the Colonies of Benevolence in Frederiksoord, Wilhelminaoord, and Veenhuizen, where you can learn more at the Museum De Proefkolonie and the National Prison Museum. Seek out the statue of Berend Botje in Zuidlaren, admire the striking "Siepeltower" of the St. Nicolaas Church in Dwingeloo, or experience life as it once was in the museum village Orvelte.

And of course: no visit to Drenthe is complete without a look at one of the 52 hunebeds – silent witnesses to a history that’s thousands of years old.

Drenthe is a province where you can leave the hustle and bustle behind and enjoy nature, space, and the people at your own pace. And Park de Zeegser Duinen is the perfect place to complete that experience. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or a longer stay, one thing is certain: you'll leave here with a smile and completely recharged. Here, you stay right in the heart of the De Drentsche Aa nature reserve, one of the most pristine areas in the Netherlands.

The lodges are modern and stylish, equipped with all the comfort you could wish for: a private sauna, a cozy outdoor fireplace, and an interior that radiates peace and warmth. Guests praise not only the luxurious amenities but especially the genuine hospitality with which they are welcomed. It's not your standard greeting, but a stay where every detail has been thoughtfully considered.
