Not too long ago I traveled to Scheveningen to attend a seminar in AFAS Circus Theater and I made a decision to remain in Bilderberg Europa Resort to spend the remainder of my weekend in Scheveningen, a historic fishing village that now is without doubt one of the greatest locations to go to within the Netherlands. Wanting again it wasn’t the perfect weekend to remain in Scheveningen because it was uncomfortably chilly and Scheveningen is named a well-known coastal city to chill out on the seaside, absorbing some solar and having fun with a sundowner at one of many seaside bars alongside the boardwalk.
Off target there are lots different issues to do in and round this widespread vacation spot that make it value visiting Scheveningen all 12 months spherical. On this weblog I’ll clarify 7 explanation why Bilderberg Europa Resort is the right lodge to get pleasure from Scheveningen or The Hague for just a few days.

Based on Bilderberg you’re at Scheveningen Seaside in precisely 198 steps. I didn’t rely the steps myself however I used to be on the seaside very quickly, going through the long-lasting renovated Pier that stands a number of meters above the ocean. Other than its panoramic boardwalk with bars, eating places and retailers, the pier accommodates a number of sights. The daredevils have the chance to Bungee soar from the Pier and for many who aren’t afraid of heights can get pleasure from a 20-minute journey in Europe’s first large Ferris wheel above sea! It stands 8 meters above the ocean and is 50 meters excessive with glass backside air-conditioned cabins that match 6 individuals.
From the Ferris wheel you’ve got nice views of the Scheveningen seaside and the skyline of the town. You possibly can even get pleasure from fireworks from the Ferris wheel as a part of the Worldwide Fireworks Competition, which is held yearly in August. Throughout that interval it’s suggested to e book your room at Europa Resort upfront.
Bilderberg Europa Resort can also be near different highlights of the realm like Madurodam, Museum ‘beelden aan zee’, the well-known Muzee Scheveningen, the Lighthouse and Sea Life. Within the night I’d advocate visiting Loopy Pianos, probably the most well-known seaside bars in Scheveningen the place you’ll get pleasure from a night stuffed with dwell music with widespread songs performed on pianos.
Europa Resort can also be just a few minutes from The Hague by automobile, however the perfect choices to go to The Hague is both by public transportation (tram 9 or bus 22) or by (rental) bike. The Hague has some good buying areas, however the metropolis is most well-known as a result of it’s the seat of presidency of the Netherlands. Don’t overlook to go to The Binnenhof and Noordeinde Palace, the place King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima work.
2. Trendy renovated rooms
Bilderberg Europa Resort provides 174 comfy rooms with a number of room classes and views of the village and/or the ocean. I used to be given a just lately renovated fashionable Deluxe Room with a king-size mattress, rest room with walk-in bathe, a small working place, big 40-inch flat display screen TV, free Wi-Fi and a small balcony with fairly views of Scheveningen village and the dunes within the distance.
You can too go for sea-view rooms. When coming into the room there was a small present ready for me: a written welcome message and a few chocolate bonbons. It clearly made me smile and I couldn’t resist the bonbons!Â
Though the room and toilet was a bit small, I liked the fashionable look of the clear newly renovated room and the comfy mattress within the king-size mattress made me sleep like a child. I additionally loved the recent rain bathe.
For those who like some more room I’d recommend the superior or government room or certainly one of their big suites, though the Deluxe room provided all the pieces I wanted for just a few days Scheveningen. Due to the nice worth for cash I’d select that kind of room once more sooner or later.
3. Trendy however cosy SALT bistro, bar and restaurant
The SALT bar and restaurant has a pleasant, fashionable and cosy look. Normally I all the time exit for drinks and dinner, however due to the appear and feel of the SALT Coastal bistro and bar, with good cozy seats and a gasoline fire I stayed for a drink on the bar.
I went out for dinner but when I had an additional evening I’d undoubtedly make a reservation of their new restaurant SALT. It has a pleasant ambiance and provides you the likelihood to order all starters and foremost dishes as tastings or to share. I all the time like to share!
The buffet breakfast was fairly good, with an enormous collection of juices, (bio) bread, eggs, (truthful commerce) fish, meat, cheese, yoghurt, American pancakes and so forth.
Espresso and tea shall be served at your desk. Breakfast is served from 7.00 am until 10.30 am and in weekends even until 11.00 am, which is ideal for me since I like to sleep somewhat longer.
4. Non-public parking zone
Bilderberg Europa Resort has a non-public secured parking zone for 21,50 euro per day within the basement of the lodge. The lodge additionally provides 2 electrical energy factors to cost electrical automobiles. Though I feel it’s an excellent facility it’s some huge cash to park your automobile for a day. In my view they need to scale back the worth for lodge visitors. Paying round 20 euro is a standard tariff to park your automobile in Scheveningen, however in case you already spend some huge cash on a room it could be nice service to supply visitors a parking area at a decreased tariff.Â
5. Wellness
After a day exploring the fantastic thing about Scheveningen and its environment you’ll be able to chill out of their sauna, steam cabin or within the pool. The wellness space is positioned within the basement of Bilderberg Europa Resort and is free accessible for lodge visitors.
I sadly didn’t have time to make use of the pool or sauna, however I took the elevator right down to have a fast look. The realm seemed affordable and a few lodge visitors with youngsters had been having fun with the pool. The health space seemed a bit darkish and will use an improve to present it the fashionable look that matches their renovated rooms and the reception- and restaurant space. For those who step into their elevator you don’t want 198 steps to the seaside, as a result of it feels such as you’re already on the seaside having fun with the North Sea.
6. Bike rental
For the reason that Netherlands is a well-known biking nation; I just like the bike rental service of Bilderberg Europa Resort. It’s solely 15 euros per day and it’s good enjoyable to discover Scheveningen by bike. The realm is quiet flat, so I’d undoubtedly advocate renting a motorcycle to get pleasure from Scheveningen and The Hague at your personal tempo.
7. Golden Inexperienced Key certificates
A giant plus to this lodge (and all different Bilderberg accommodations) is their golden Inexperienced Key certification. It’s one of many largest eco-labels for the hospitality trade worldwide and goals to contribute to the prevention of local weather change by awarding and advocating amenities with optimistic environmental initiatives. Meaning Bilderberg Europa Resort is environmentally aware they usually spend money on amenities that make them extra environmentally pleasant. They attempt to maintain the CO2 emissions as little as attainable they usually use pure and trustworthy merchandise with a sustainability label, like BIO, EKO and Honest Commerce.

For each enterprise and leisure travellers, this lodge has all the pieces you want. The service was good and the workers very pleasant. The receptionist additionally provided us free entrance tickets for Holland On line casino, just a few minutes stroll from the lodge.
