From Poolhouse to rooftop: five summer spots without a ticket

Summer has officially arrived. While many Dutch people dream of Saint-Tropez, Mykonos or Ibiza, you don't need to travel far for a genuine holiday feeling.

Summer has officially arrived. And although many Dutch people dream of Saint-Tropez, Mykonos, or Ibiza, you don't need to take a plane at all for a stylish summer day. From exclusive rooftops in Amsterdam to beach clubs with a Southern French vibe: these are the places where you’ll want to spend your summer this year.

Beachclub Bernies

At Bernies in Zandvoort, the holiday feeling lies primarily in its simplicity: sand under your feet, a good glass on the table, and a view of the sea. The beach club has a relaxed atmosphere without feeling too contrived. Exactly what you are looking for on a long summer day.

Beachclub C Noordwijk

Since the arrival of the Poolhouse and swimming pool, Beachclub C in Noordwijk has an extra reason to stand out. With sunbeds, sea views, and an atmosphere subtly reminiscent of the South of France, this is a pleasant spot for those who want to step out of the daily routine for a while.

WET Deck – W Amsterdam

For those who don't want to leave the city this summer, the WET Deck at W Amsterdam is a great base. The rooftop pool and the view over the capital make it a lovely city escape on a sunny day. A getaway, without really having to leave.

Fort Resort Beemster

Summer doesn't always have to be about the beach and cocktails. Sometimes a day of rest is exactly what you need. Fort Resort Beemster offers a tranquil environment, wellness facilities, and a unique location in the Beemster.

Soho House Amsterdam

Soho House Amsterdam is one of those places where summer feels just a little lighter, although access is reserved for members and their guests. The rooftop pool, the polished appearance, and the international crowd create an atmosphere you won't find everywhere in the city. A great spot for anyone who wants to view the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam from above.
