Wellness by the Water

Water as the foundation for relaxation

Calm in the rhythm of water and light

By the water, relaxation comes almost naturally. The view, the light and the gentle movement create space in the mind and slow the pace. Outside it feels open and fresh, inside warm and sheltered. Wellness follows the rhythm of water — without stimulation, at your own moment.

Space that unfolds naturally

Wellness by the water is not about schedules or programmes, but about experiencing space. The open landscape, the horizon and the ever-changing light invite you to do less and feel more. Outside, the water moves calmly with the moment; inside, the warmth of a sauna or hot tub awaits. The rhythm is steady and calm. Indoors and outdoors flow into one another, at your own pace.

Balance between outdoors and indoors

A stay by the water invites you to step outside. A walk along the shore, breathing in sea air or simply sitting and watching. That simplicity deepens relaxation. After time outdoors, wellness feels like a natural continuation rather than an extra. Warmth, silence and comfort bring balance, without having to go anywhere.

Each season has its own character

By the water, the seasons are clearly felt. In summer, evenings stay long and light. In autumn and winter, wind and fresh air bring clarity and stillness. Wellness deepens every moment: after being outside, you step into warmth, while the water keeps moving beyond. Each season finds its own calm rhythm.

Wellness stays by the water at Dutchen

Dutchen offers wellness by the water at a small number of carefully selected locations. De Hoop is situated directly on freshwater, where silence, reflection and a steady pace prevail. Baayvilla’s are located in the Lauwersoog area, where freshwater meets the Wadden landscape and air and openness define the surroundings. Duynvoet lies within the coastal landscape, directly behind the dunes, with the sea close by. At all locations, wellness is part of the private stay, with attention to peace, privacy and the environment.

The right moment

Wellness by the water suits different moments. A weekend to clear your head, a midweek to step out of daily rhythm, or a longer stay where days naturally slow down. Without fixed schedules, with all the space to follow the moment.
