Spending the night in a water tower

At one time, there were nearly 300 water towers in the Netherlands alone. These tall towers were built to maintain constant pressure in the water supply network. Today, the function of water towers has been taken over almost everywhere by mechanical pumps, and many water towers have been demolished or repurposed. A number of these water towers have been converted into unique places to stay overnight. On Vipio, you can also book various water towers for a special overnight stay by the water. The towers offer plenty of space, so you can often sleep there with several people. The water towers are also often located in beautiful spots, making them perfect for a weekend getaway, for example. And the view from such a water tower is, of course, absolutely breathtaking. Below, we’ve highlighted a few special water towers for you that can be booked directly on Vipio.

This water tower is located in the center of Middelburg in the province of Zeeland. The water tower is over 130 years old and is a very striking building. It offers a stunning view of Middelburg and the island of Walcheren. Inside the water tower, you’ll find a spacious apartment equipped with all modern amenities. The water tower can accommodate up to 6 guests. If you really want to enjoy the spectacular view, take the stairs from the living room up to the rooftop terrace (7th floor). This terrace is located about 25 meters above ground, and having a cup of coffee or a glass of wine up here is truly a special experience. Check out this water tower

This imposing tower in Nes (on the mainland in Friesland) was built in 1957 and served as a water tower for nearly 50 years. A few years ago, the 40-meter-high water tower was transformed into a hotel with two luxury suites. Thanks to the unique view, spending the night in the water tower is a special experience you’ll likely never forget. On a clear day, Terschelling and Ameland are clearly visible to the north. To the west, you’ll look out over the IJsselmeer. At night, you can enjoy the lights of Heerenveen together, visible in the distance. Check out this water tower

Your accommodations include a cozy living room with a fireplace, a kitchen, a sleeping loft, and a bathroom with a double shower.

This striking tower in the expansive Groningen countryside was once used as a watermill to keep the fields dry. Today, this polder mill serves as a B&B for couples, families (with children), and groups of up to 8 people. If you love peace and space, this is the perfect place to stay. The tower is completely detached, and there are no other (vacation) homes in the immediate vicinity. The old watermill is situated in a rural setting on the border between Groningen and Drenthe. On one side are open meadows and fields, and on the other is a forest with a small lake perfect for swimming. You can reach Groningen or Assen within 15 minutes. Check out this water tower
