About Zandvoort

Just 30 minutes’ drive from Amsterdam, the charming seaside town of Zandvoort has long been a wonderful retreat for urban dwellers eager to escape the city for the day or the weekend. Facing the North Sea, the town is famed for its vast sandy beaches, illustrious motorsports heritage and relaxed vibe. Accommodation options are wide-ranging, with the best places to stay in Zandvoort including everything from charming B&Bs to swish seaside hotels, perfect for a host of tastes and budgets.

Zandvoort’s town centre brims with great boutiques, cafés and eateries. Stroll along to golden beaches to soak up the sunshine, build sandcastles as a family, or try your hand at sailing and kayaking. The North Sea isn’t famously warm for swimming, but it’s certainly refreshing and this stretch of coastline is very picturesque.

The town's big draw is undoubtedly the iconic Circuit Zandvoort, a world-renowned racetrack which hosts international events throughout the year. Book your seats well in advance if you’re keen to catch some motorsport. Expect rooms at the best places to stay in Zandvoort to fill up fast, too!
