SUMMER AT THE SEA IN NOORDWIJK
In the summer of 2021, Van der Valk acquired the iconic Palace Hotel in Noordwijk. This hotel, located just 150 meters from the beach, has since undergone an impressive transformation. Thanks to extensive renovations, both inside and out, it now offers a renewed holiday experience that combines luxury and comfort. Discover how this hotel has been transformed into the ultimate destination for a relaxing stay by the coast!

It is remarkable that Van der Valk did not have a hotel so close to the coastline of the Dutch mainland until a few years ago. This changed in 2021 with the acquisition of the Palace Hotel. Located in Noordwijk aan Zee, this hotel is not in a typical Van der Valk location, and the building itself looks different from most Van der Valk Hotels due to its many narrow windows and turrets on the roof. The unique appearance of a boutique hotel combined with the inherent hospitality that Van der Valk is known for, adds an extra touch to a stay here.
STYLISH AND CONTEMPORARY
Stay overnight in one of the comfortable rooms or suites. With thirteen multifunctional rooms on the same floor, the hotel is also very suitable for large conferences, meetings, and events. In addition, there is Semmy's bar, which can be booked for private dining, a baby shower, or a birthday party. Enjoy delicious food and drinks in the stylish restaurant and lounge bar Vloed. The menu is updated every season and features contemporary dishes with local ingredients. Of course, the classic Van der Valk dishes are also available. Furthermore, the hotel has its own pastry chef who prepares the most delicious desserts to end the evening on a high note.
At the terrace of the restaurant, cozy themed evenings are regularly organized, such as a barbecue night. Very nice for guests with young children is that the floor below the restaurant is a play paradise. With, among other things, a ball pit, climbing structure, games, and a table tennis table, they can play here. In addition to this kids' club, you will find a billiard room for all ages.

UNIQUE WELLNESS
For some time now, you can enjoy Yumi Spa & Wellness at the hotel. This is a wonderful place to let go of all your stress. What makes this wellness center special is that they use a lot of magnesium, from extensive treatments to massages with magnesium. You can also book a float session. This is a unique experience where you float in a bath with magnesium and experience a feeling of weightlessness. This natural mineral contributes to healthy muscles and promotes relaxation.
By absorbing magnesium through the skin, your body receives a significant energy boost. This is especially nice after exercising or after a strenuous day. A magnesium bath can also have healing effects for people with skin problems. Since 2020, Noordwijk has been recognized as a therapeutic seaside resort, based on the quality of the seawater and all the facilities in the municipality. Yumi Spa & Wellness fully aligns with this recognition. The hotel also features a swimming pool, sauna, and Turkish steam bath for even more relaxation. Boutique gym Noordwijk, on the other hand, is the place for exertion. In this boutique gym equipped with the latest fitness equipment, you can work out on your own, take group classes, or train with a personal trainer.
VERSATILE ENVIRONMENT
There are also many opportunities for outdoor sports. There is plenty to do on the beach and on the water, such as windsurfing and kite surfing. The hotel works together with various parties, so you can book a range of activities at reception. But just watching all the sports enthusiasts from the terrace of a beach club is entertainment in itself. Palace Hotel Noordwijk is not only recommended for the sea, but also for visiting the city or the surrounding villages. Thanks to its central location in the Randstad, Leiden, Haarlem, Amsterdam, and The Hague are not far away. Cycling and walking enthusiasts can go in any direction. Rent a bicycle, e-bike, e-chopper, or fat bike from the hotel to get out and about. Stroll through Hollandse Duinen National Park, visit the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen, or be surprised by a historical walking tour with Koen Van Toen. One last tip for the summer: visit the Atlantikwall Museum Noordwijk, where you can see a series of bunkers from World War II. Thanks to its excellent facilities and location as a base for exploring the beautiful surroundings, a stay at Palace Hotel Noordwijk is an excellent choice all year round.
