One of the most beloved seaside destinations in the Netherlands, lovely Noordwijk sits on the western coast of South Holland. Famed for its striking dune landscapes and tulip cultivation, Noordwijk has an acclaimed reputation as part of the "Duin- en Bollenstreek" (Dune and Bulb Region). Charming and intimate, our pick of the best places to stay in Noordwijk promises a coastal holiday to remember, complete with fabulous cuisine and restorative wellness opportunities.
The community is made up of two distinct areas, both of which are well worth taking the time to explore. Noordwijk aan Zee, a striking beach resort, boasts an impressive 13-kilometre stretch of sandy coastline, whilst the historic village of Noordwijk-Binnen features pretty streets lined with heritage houses. Pick up local delicacies at the market, savour fresh seafood at family-owned eateries, and shop for handmade crafts at chic boutiques. The Museum Noordwijk showcases the area’s fishing past; rise early and make your way to the harbour to see the community’s continued connection to the sea for yourself.
Keen adventurers can enjoy coastal rambles and cycle rides, or horse riding excursions on the undulating dunes. The springtime Flower Parade is dazzling, as are the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens in nearby Lisse. Day trips to major Dutch cities, including Leiden, The Hague and Amsterdam, are also wonderful. That said, you’d be forgiven for simply soaking up the sunshine, ambling through the village and tucking into flavoursome fare at our pick of the best places to stay in Noordwijk.
