Noordwijkerhout
Noordwijkerhout is a coastal town in South Holland near the famous bulb-growing region, providing easy access to the spectacular Keukenhof Gardens — one of the world's largest flower gardens — beautiful North Sea dunes and beaches, and the bulb fields that create the Netherlands' famous spring tulip landscapes. With excellent conference and resort hotel infrastructure and proximity to Amsterdam, Leiden and The Hague, Noordwijkerhout provides a relaxed coastal base with access to the country's most photographed seasonal scenery.
Elect's take
"Noordwijkerhout in spring is one of the most beautiful places in the Netherlands — the bulb fields stretching to the horizon in bands of colour, combined with Keukenhof and the nearby dune beaches, create something genuinely special for a few weeks each year."
Keukenhof Gardens, approximately 10 minutes away, is one of the world's largest flower gardens, with over 7 million bulbs planted each year creating spectacular displays of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths from late March to mid-May. The surrounding bulb fields create the iconic striped landscapes that have made this region world famous, best appreciated by bicycle along the dedicated flower routes. The North Sea coast provides beautiful dune landscapes and beaches at Noordwijk aan Zee. The town's conference and resort hotel infrastructure makes it a popular venue for business events. Leiden, with its historic university and beautiful canals, and Amsterdam are both within easy reach.
