Situated on a beach resort surrounded by hundreds of acres of the De Punt nature reserve’s beautiful and unspoilt scenery, and positioned on the sand dunes right beside the bay, this villa is the perfect destination for relaxing coastal holidays. The resort here offers its own private beach with cabanas and lounge beds – reachable in a short one-minute walk – so after a lazy breakfast on the decking, head down to the sands. Various activities can be organised here including yoga on the beach and fishing trips to catch your own fish or mussels. Plus, you can explore the area through hiking and bicycle rides, taking in the forests and flowery meadows. Head to Brouwersdam, an estuary that separates the biggest saltwater lake in Europe from the North Sea – a six-minute drive away – and take in the unique flora and fauna on offer here including, Fjord horse and Heck cattle. You might even catch a glimpse of seals or porpoises. In the evening, why not cook up the fresh fish you caught earlier that day and dine alfresco with views of the beachfront? Or, head to the on-site restaurant for a meal.

About Netherlands
The famously laid-back nation of the Netherlands is the perfect place to relax and embrace cutting-edge culture on the same trip.
