Dune House
A sun-soaked holiday in the Netherlands? Trust us, once you’ve
enjoyed a barefoot escape along the sandy shores that run from the
Belgian border to the Wadden Sea Islands, you’ll have your friends
convinced to switch the Algarve for Ameland every year. This
clapboard property in Buren is just 500m from the
expansive beaches edging the West Frisian isle. A group of eight
will have the run of four sharp, contemporary bedrooms, a breezy,
open-plan living space and an outdoor terrace. Worried about grey
days? The basement cinema room will keep you busy if the weather
refuses to play ball. The cosy gas fireplace helps with keeping
warm post-swims in the – admittedly – chilly sea, but we’d play it
safe and stick to beach strolls exploring the picturesque island,
taking in the handsome lighthouse, taste-testing the loca Nobeltje
liqueur and scampering across the sand dunes for fresh seafood at
Stranders.
What it costs: From £63pp per night
