A special weekend away
The choice of your destination makes or breaks your weekend. Those looking for something truly special do not choose the standard bungalow parks or hotel chains, but go for unique experiences. Think sleeping in a treehouse, spending the night in an old monastery or waking up in a tiny house in the middle of nature. You won't find such places on the first page of a booking site, but you will if you look a little further. The Netherlands offers a surprising number of unique places for a weekend getaway. From the still waters of Friesland to the rolling hills of southern Limburg, there are plenty of regions ideal for a short escape. And those who want to go a little further will also find plenty of gems in Belgium. A weekend getaway in Belgium often means: cozy villages, Burgundian food and atmospheric accommodations. The Ardennes, for example, are perfect for hikers, but also for those who simply want to be offline for a while. And then there's the coast. For those who like to get a breath of fresh air, a weekend getaway by the sea is a wonderful option. Especially in autumn or spring it can be wonderfully quiet on the Dutch or Belgian coast, while you enjoy a stay in, for example, a beach cottage or hotel overlooking the waves.
Romantic weekend away as a couple
A weekend getaway for two requires different choices than a family weekend or friends' getaway. Imagine driving together to a hidden forest cabin, opening a bottle of wine by the fireplace and not having to do anything for the rest of the weekend. Such romantic places can be found in abundance in the Netherlands and just across the border. Those looking for adventure might prefer a tiny house in a national park, or an old train car to sleep in. Original accommodations come in all shapes and sizes. Tip: If you love wellness, choose an accommodation with its own hot tub or sauna. That way, a weekend away with wellness is not only relaxing, but also unforgettable. Are you travelling with your dog? Even then there are plenty of options for a weekend getaway with dog. More and more locations offer pet-friendly facilities, from off-leash areas to fenced gardens. Our selection of weekends away with dog will help you get started right away. For couples, a romantic weekend getaway is often the ultimate escape. Think sleeping in a wine barrel, a room overlooking the vineyard or a private spa in your own suite.
Last minute weekend break
Sometimes you have a weekend planned, sometimes you decide on Thursday night that you really need to get away. Fortunately, even a last minute weekend getaway is easy to come by - provided you know where to look. When most people think of last minute, they automatically think of hotels, but don't forget about special accommodations. Treehouses, tiny houses and glamping tents often have availability even at short notice, especially if you are a little flexible with the location. On our website you will find a clear stays for those who like to book a last minute weekend away without compromising on atmosphere or quality.
A weekend break does not have to be expensive
A special weekend break may sound like something you can only do on a generous budget, but it absolutely does not have to be. There are plenty of original accommodations you can find for less than you think. From forest cabins to gypsy caravans and vintage camper vans - it's the unconventional nature that often makes them affordable. For those watching the pennies, there are even options for a cheap weekend getaway that still feel special. Consider stays at small-scale B&Bs, campsites with luxury safaritents or historical properties converted into mini-hotels. Often these are places with a unique story, where you're also welcomed by the owner himself rather than a front desk.
