Come discover the Netherlands this summer! We've picked our favorite summer travel destinations for you!
Taking a break without any stress or fuss, that is what a summer holiday in the Netherlands is like!
Maastricht
Stayokay Maastricht is the perfect starting point for a laid-back yet indulgent stay in the south. From here, you can stroll straight into the city center to soak up culture, browse unique boutiques, and enjoy drinks on the lively Vrijthof square. Prefer some peace and quiet? Head to the riverbanks of the Maas River or explore the rolling hills of the Limburg countryside. The hostel itself sits right on the Maas, with a sunny terrace and cozy (private) rooms; ideal for couples, families, or groups of friends.
Dordrecht
Can’t choose between city buzz and nature’s calm? At Stayokay Dordrecht, you don’t have to. Nestled on the edge of the stunning Biesbosch National Park and just a short bike ride from Dordrecht’s historic city center, this is the best of both worlds. Go hiking or canoeing, then unwind on the terrace by the water or explore shops, cafés, and culture in town. Something for everyone, all in one place.
Haarlem
Stayokay Haarlem is the place for those who want to combine city, beach and nature. From the hostel, you can be in the lively centre of Haarlem in no time, but also in the dunes or with your feet in the sand of Zandvoort or Bloemendaal. Stay in modern (private) rooms and have a drink on our sunny terrace. Big plus, Haarlem is close to Amsterdam.
Apeldoorn
Stayokay Apeldoorn is a wonderful spot for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Located on the edge of the Veluwe natural forest, you’re surrounded by forest and just steps away from scenic hiking and cycling routes. For a fun day out, Paleis Het Loo and Apenheul (a zoo just for monkeys!) are right around the corner.
What makes this place extra special? You can stay in a Wikkelhouse: a sustainable tiny house made from recycled cardboard. You’ll also find Wikkelhouses at Stayokay Dordrecht and Gorssel!
Eindhoven
Perfect for a citytrip in the South of the Netherlands! Take a stroll on Strijp-S. Visit the impressive Van Abbemuseum and the charming Downtown Gourmet Market food hall. You can reach the city center in 10 minutes by bus or bike. End your day with a delicious drink at the Rock&Roll bar or grab an ice cream at Intelligenta Ice.
Noordwijk
Stayokay Noordwijk is the perfect place to enjoy nature at its best. Just a stone’s throw away from the dunes, beach, and sea, it’s an ideal spot for a refreshing swim. After an active day, unwind on the hostel’s spacious terrace with a drink in the hand. Here, you get the very best of nature, the coast, and pure relaxation.
