Special nights in North-Holland

The province of North Holland is the Netherlands’ biggest tourist attraction. The city of Amsterdam alone accounts for some 13 million hotel stays per year. But Amsterdam isn’t the only place that draws large numbers of tourists. Visitors to North Holland also love to visit the beautiful coastal towns of Zandvoort and Egmond aan Zee. The North Holland island of Texel also attracts many tourists every year who stay there for a weekend. If you’re looking to stay overnight in North Holland, you can, of course, opt for standard accommodations, but that would be a shame. North Holland offers a wide variety of special and unique places to stay that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. We’ve highlighted a few of these special accommodations for you.

This unique windmill has a very rich history. Built in 1590, it’s located in the polder landscape of North Holland. With its old beams and characteristic interior, the windmill exudes an authentic atmosphere. The mill is suitable for both a (romantic) overnight stay for two people and for a stay with, for example, older children. There are a total of four sleeping spots. The mill is centrally located in North Holland. Within half an hour, you can reach coastal towns such as Bergen, Schoorl, Egmond aan Zee, or Callantsoog. If you’d rather spend a day shopping, you can be in the center of Alkmaar within 15 minutes. Check out this accommodation
