Schokland

You once lived high and dry on Schokland in a river delta and later on an island in the Zuiderzee. It was living with water. Now the rugged island with its various mounds is clearly visible in the otherwise sleek Noordoostpolder.

Loosdrechtse Plassen

Waterborne fun is never far away at this recreational area to the south of Amsterdam, dominated by five interconnecting lakes known as the Loosdrechtse Plassen. The lakes are perfect for water sports: sailing, rowing, canoeing, waterskiing and speedboating are all possible here. If taking a boat out yourself is not your thing, then join a sailboat or speedboat excursion, or just relax on a terrace and admire the view from dry land.

Zuiver Amsterdam

Zuiver Amsterdam, the luxurious wellness centre, offers plenty of
different ways to relax and rejuvenate. At their gorgeous location in the Amsterdamse Bos, guests will find eight saunas, a variety of baths, cosy relaxation rooms, and a forty-metre long, partially-covered pool that will help guarantee a refreshing experience for all.
