Discover the best beach hotels in the Netherlands

The Netherlands may not have palm trees and tropical bays, but that’s exactly what makes its coastline so special. Wide, sandy beaches, dramatic skies, rolling dunes and cosy seaside villages give it a character all its own. Like home away from home. Whether you’re into the elegant vibe of Scheveningen, the peaceful charm of Domburg or the nostalgic feel of Egmond, every part of the coast has its own personality. Best of all, it’s a year-round destination. Sunny days in summer, blustery walks in autumn, and warm drinks by the fire in winter, the Dutch coast never disappoints.
