To support the bee population and the surrounding nature of our parks, we have placed hives at four of our destinations. Together with the beekeeper, we are developing an inspiring summer program in the form of workshops and other educational activities for you and your children. You can also get your hands on our delicious Dutchen honey by then! We'll share more about that later via our Instagram and in our newsletter.

Together with Spriet, we offer an exclusive partnership for little nature lovers: the nature box full of original outdoor activities is a fun initiative that helps parents and children experience nature together.

Our park Suitelodges Gooilanden is hidden in a landscape of water, heath and forest. You can walk straight to the Hoorneboegse Heide or the Goois Nature Reserve: perfect places to go out with the nature box. There is plenty to do in Natuurmonumenten's OERRR play forest, for all ages. This is a mindful, centrally located base for exploring nature together.

In the middle of the Drentsche Aa National Park - perhaps the most pristine piece of nature in the Netherlands - are the luxury lodges and villas of Zeegser Duinen. Here you step straight from your backyard into the woods. Children build dams in streams, search for deer or wander along the Tree crown path between the treetops. Take the Spriet Nature Box and explore the area to the fullest.

• The small-scale location Baayvilla's is located directly on the Lauwersmeer: within walking distance of the new Wadden Experience Centre (WEC) and seal center Pieterburen.

• The holiday homes at Mooi Schoorl, Weideduyn and Duynvoet near the Schoorl Dunes on the coast, with the newest addition being Buiten Bergen.  

• The holiday homes of Duynzoom and Waddenduyn on the Wadden Island of Texel.

• New at Dutchen: luxury apartments and hotel rooms at Elements on Terschelling, which will open its doors at the end of 2025.

With the Dutchen Buiten Beleven campaign, we invite you to really get outside. Experience the peace, space and nature of our small-scale holiday parks in unique locations – from the dunes to the water. Enjoy luxury, comfort and the little moments that feel big.

Whether you opt for a long walk on the beach, a bike ride through the woods or relaxing in your own wellness centre, at Dutchen, being outdoors is central.
