See all

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Schiermonnikoog
Schiermonnikoog is one of the most peaceful islands of the Netherlands in the Wadden Sea, with few cars, vast beaches and dunes covered with d'oyats. The tides transform the surroundings of the island: mudflats, birds and razing light set the tone, especially outside the most frequented hours.
Island
Terschelling
Terschelling gives a feeling of wide space, between seafront, paths and slightly isolated areas. The trips are appreciated by regular stops: dunes, winds, openings on the water, and then back to more sheltered areas.
Island
Vlieland
Vlieland lives like a coastal breath: open beaches, sandy paths and changing coastal lines. Slowness allows you to hear the landscape at the same time as you see it, especially when the light modulates the line of the horizon.
Island
Ameland
Ameland offers a coastline animated by the tide rhythms and transitions between quiet areas and more exposed areas. The visit becomes concrete when you are guided by the banks, winds and changes of perspective.
