Girlfriends, flip-flops, and bubbles

Whether you go out with your old college friends, maintain an annual tradition with your sisters, or finally meet up with your sports buddies without sweatbands - a weekend getaway with friends is always a good idea. And at Van der Valk, we understand that. The hotels are perfectly set up for group fun: spacious rooms, cozy restaurants, luxurious wellness facilities, and often surprising activities nearby.

From high tea to hotel bar

A typical girls' weekend often starts with a warm welcome and a festive drink. Many Van der Valk Hotels offer special packages, complete with a welcome cocktail, a luxurious three-course dinner, and - of course - an extensive high tea. Because eating together is enjoying together, and that's what such a weekend is all about: some time for each other, without distractions.

In the evening, you can enjoy a delicious dinner with local and seasonal dishes in the hotel restaurant. Afterwards? Many hotels have a cozy bar where you can end the evening with a cocktail, a good glass of wine, or a cheesy game that you brought yourself (or just bought at the lobby shop).

Wellness & relaxation

One of the absolute highlights of a girls' weekend is: not having to do anything at all. And where better to do that than at the spa? Many Van der Valk Hotels have extensive wellness facilities, such as an indoor pool, sauna, Turkish steam bath, and relaxation areas. Some locations even offer massages or facial treatments - ideal if you want to relax after a busy period or just fancy a bit of luxury.

Tip: Check in advance if your hotel has a wellness center or book a package that includes wellness.

Sleeping in style

After a full day, it's wonderful to come home to your hotel room. Whether you opt for a luxury suite with a jacuzzi, a spacious family room, or separate rooms next to each other: Van der Valk offers plenty of options for groups. How about a room with a balcony and a view of the greenery, or one right in the city so you can dive into the coffee shop around the corner the next morning?

And then there's the breakfast... anyone staying at Van der Valk knows that breakfast is a party in itself. Fresh bread rolls, scrambled eggs, fresh orange juice, pancakes, yogurt with toppings, and even a glass of bubbles if you really want to end the weekend on a high note.

Making memories

What makes a girlfriends' weekend at Van der Valk so special is the combination of comfort, freedom, and fun. Everything is taken care of, the atmosphere is relaxed, and there is space to create memories together. Because ultimately, such a weekend is not just about what you do, but especially about who you do it with.

Take that one friend with you whom you haven't seen in months. Or the one who always says "I'm so busy", but laughs the loudest once she's there. Plan that karaoke night, that dinner in a ball gown, that photoshoot in matching pajamas. And above all, don't be too hard on yourself: this weekend is for enjoying.
