Schon bei der Lage punktet das Inselhouse Norderney in jeder Hinsicht: Es befindet sich sowohl direkt in der Stadt als auch sehr nah am Meer. Dadurch können die Gäste

The Inselhouse Norderney scores points in every respect when it comes to location: it is both directly in the town and very close to the sea. This means that guests can enjoy both advantages and either plunge into the lively hustle and bustle or indulge in long walks on the beach.

Inselhouse Norderney: Living in style

Fasten Ur Seatbelts, Norderney, Inselhouse

The entire holiday domicile on Norderney is characterised by soft colours, a bright design and harmonious decorations. Guests can immediately feel at home there. Thanks to the large windows, all the accommodation units are flooded with light and radiate the necessary tranquillity that everyone inevitably associates with the North Sea. 21 flats between 52 and 112 square metres are available and are suitable for couples as well as families of different sizes. Each room has a balcony, an open plan design and impressive interiors by Danish brand Carl Hansen & Son. Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas in case guests want to do a little work while on holiday.

The Inselhouse Norderney attaches great importance to sustainability. Solar panels are used to heat the domestic water, the underfloor heating can be controlled separately for each room and the roof is greened with regional materials. This attracts native birds to nest and the animals can breed in a protected environment. Some of the flats allow dogs, which means that guests with four-legged friends are also very welcome.

Inselhouse Norderney: Leisure activities for the whole family

At and around the Inselhouse Norderney there are many possibilities for leisure activities to choose from. From the house, guests can use surfboards, beach chairs, handcarts, sand toys as well as bicycles if needed. The island is perfect to explore by bike. Flat cycle paths lead along the beach and to all the sights. The inner city area is restricted to motor vehicles, making it pleasant for bicycle tours. There are always great playgrounds along the beach, so a bike ride with the whole family is exciting and fun for everyone. Everyone can fortify themselves with coffee, hot chocolate and cake at the beach restaurant “Weiße Düne” and enjoy the view of the North Sea and the seagulls flying by from the panorama windows.

Not far from the Inselhouse is the Junkmann riding stable, which guests can reach after a 15-minute walk. Pony rides are offered daily for the little ones. Should the weather not play along, the accommodation has a modern playroom for the children. Adult guests, meanwhile, will find a change of pace in the well-equipped fitness room and the wellness area with sanarium, relaxation room and a Finnish sauna. Those who feel like sports and exercise can borrow the utensils for table tennis and play a round together with the family or other Inselhouse guests.

An absolute recommendation for the physical well-being is the surf café, which spoils guests with culinary delights at any time of the day. For traditional Nordic cuisine, the “Schmuggler” restaurant is a wonderful tip – however, a table reservation is advisable, as the restaurant rightly enjoys great popularity.

Falkensteiner Family Resort Lido – an experience for the whole family

Falkensteiner Family Resort Lido, Südtirol, Fasten Ur Seatbelts, South Tyrol

Arriving at the Falkensteiner Family Resort Lido is a great way to start your South Tyrolean holiday: while parents can settle comfortably on thick upholstered chairs in the stylish ambience of the lobby, the children travelling with them will have a blast on an armchair carousel. This is a fun way for travellers to bridge any waiting times for check-in. In addition, the entrance area, which has already been designed with all family members in mind, provides an appealing insight into the upcoming family holiday and the child-friendliness of the entire hotel.

Guests with two to three children are perfectly accommodated in the 35-40 square metre Premium Family Suites. Fine wooden floors, natural and earthy colours, an appealing design and a lot of comfort for small and large guests make the family rooms a special accommodation. While the parents sleep in a comfortable box-spring bed, the little guests can choose between single beds or the cosy Falkynest. There is a large games table in the room for spending time together, but there is also plenty of peace and quiet because a sliding door separates the children’s area from the parents’ part of the suite.

Fine gourmet cuisine at individual times

Falkensteiner Family Resort Lido, Südtirol, Fasten Ur Seatbelts

At the Falkensteiner Family Resort Lido, guests are pampered all day long with the best that South Tyrol has to offer as part of the new Verwöhnpension+. The resort attaches great importance to the use of ingredients from the region and the excellent quality of the selected dishes. So that everyone can eat at their personal comfort time and according to their hunger, the meals are presented in buffet form. This also guarantees individual meal times for families with children, so that the accustomed rhythm can be maintained on holiday. You can watch the dishes being prepared at live cooking stations, which makes the dining experience very authentic. The hotel’s own pasta and dumpling making is just as popular as the barbecue or pizza station, where every guest can help themselves to whatever they like. The finest ingredients from South Tyrol are combined with Italian influences at the Falkensteiner Family Resort Lido. On request, it is possible to order children’s menus, so that even the youngest guests can dine like the grown-ups. For infants from the age of eleven months, dishes from a choice of menus can be ordered the day before. The 12-Höfe gourmet kitchen is also happy to cater to personal dietary plans – so no one has to change their habits on holiday either.

Spa enjoyment and water fun

The 2,800 square metre Acquapura Spa with its newly designed water world is also conceptually geared towards the whole family. Spending a relaxing day together in the spa area is not possible in many hotels due to age restrictions. At the Falkensteiner Family Resort Lido, everyone is welcome to treat themselves to some well-deserved time out. Guests can relax together in the family sauna and indulge in various wellness treatments. Toddlers can play in the children’s pool, take bubble baths and feel like little kings/queens at the Kids Spa, while older children can let off steam on the slides in the water park.

So that the youngest guests can also pursue their urge to play and discover outside the water worlds, the resort offers age-appropriate care for every age group with Babyland, Falkyland and the Teen Zone. This is complemented by the numerous leisure activities on the Rooftop Sky Adventure Park so that no one is guaranteed to get bored. Skiing is possible all year round on the roof of the Falkensteiner, as are bobby car races, ball sports, jogging for the adults or sliding down the slide directly into the indoor water worlds.

Naturhotel Pfösl – Dreamlike location in the middle of the mountains

Naturhotel Pfösl, Südtirol, Fasten Ur Seatbelts

Amidst the clean mountain air of the Dolomites, the beautiful Naturhotel Pfösl is located on a high plateau and, not least due to its unique location, immediately makes every guest slow down. There are two great ski areas just a short distance away: 48 kilometres of ski slopes await holidaymakers in the Obereggen ski area, which is only seven kilometres away, and the Carezza winter sports area offers another 40 kilometres of skiing fun. Hotel guests can reach the former with the free shuttle. Non-skiers don’t miss out either, as the lifts make it possible to visit the mountains, which are up to 2,500 metres high, on foot. Once at the top, the entire panorama of this wonderful region opens up and is ideal for extensive hiking tours or relaxing walks.

A dream of Swiss stone pine

The rooms at the Pfösl are all closely connected to nature, which is reflected in the generous use of materials from this very nature. This creates a cosy atmosphere. The Alpina Zirbe suite was furnished with a combination of Swiss stone pine wood and fine fabrics as well as stylish decoration. With its fantastic mountain view, private loggia and a lounging area on the edge of the forest, guests in the suite want for nothing. The morning sun is booked here as well, which means that every holiday day at this retreat starts off right on a happy note.

The design of the individual rooms is closely related to the holistic architecture of the hotel. Natural elements, regional materials and plenty of space to make the most of the panoramic location are the cornerstones of the design of the nature hotel.

Indulgence, deceleration and winter activity tips

To complete a truly relaxing holiday, hotel guests have access to the 2,000 square metre indoor and outdoor nature spa. Relaxation rooms that invite you to switch off or read, eight saunas, Kneipp areas, a panoramic whirlpool and a large outdoor brine pool help you to unwind. With a pleasant water temperature of 35 degrees, body and soul can regenerate from everyday stress and convey pure comfort.

Seasonal and regional products as well as the use of fresh and healthy ingredients ensure well-being from the inside out. Delicious menus in the evening, special children’s menus, a rich breakfast in the morning and delicious cakes from the on-site pastry shop ensure the physical well-being of Pfösl guests.

Families with children will find numerous leisure activities at the Naturhotel. The donkeys melt hearts and are the special attraction of the petting zoo. The playground, a riding stable only two kilometres away, the hotel’s own toboggan run, the mini-golf course nearby and also the family hiking trails provide plenty of variety. Those travelling in winter can try out all the winter sports activities on their own or with a tour organised by the hotel. Hiking through the pine forests on snowshoes, testing out the numerous toboggan runs in the area or using the Hotel Pfösl as a starting point for cross-country skiing – the possibilities are very diverse. Due to the good location, the distances are short. Guests can also go ice skating in the sports centre in the centre of Nova Ponente and try out completely new winter activities thanks to the many offers.

De Wever Lodge – Design Cabin mitten im Nationalpark Hoge Veluwe

The cozy De Wever Lodge is located on the outskirts of Otterlo, right next to the Dutch National Park Hoge Veluwe. This special place welcomes its guests in a family atmosphere with 14 rooms, two cottages and a cabin in the forest. Waking up with the chirping of the birds and being right in nature provides the necessary peace and quiet during a break in this great accommodation. De Wever Lodge is just as suitable for couples as it is for families. Thanks to the quiet location, children traveling with you can play in the fresh air without worrying, while their parents sit together in the garden or on the terrace over a coffee. Nevertheless, there are numerous possibilities for exciting activities in the vicinity of the lodge, which make the eyes of the little ones shine.

Gemütlich wohnen bei De Wever

All accommodation options at De Wever Lodge are comfortable and cosily furnished, so that every guest immediately feels at home. The room variants and the two cottages on the site are particularly extensively equipped. These can be booked in addition to the 14 rooms in the main building. They provide additional privacy, since this type of accommodation is not in the middle of the other guest rooms. Newly renovated with modern facilities, a large king-size bed and a private terrace, the cottages have everything you need for a relaxing family holiday.

The cabin in the forest is a bit more economical, but still cosy. With two separate rooms, it is perfect for larger families. Waking up in the middle of nature, sitting outside undisturbed and, with a bit of luck, observing the native animals is a very special experience.

Ausflugsmöglichkeiten in der Umgebung

The national park at De Wever Lodge is an ideal excursion destination in the immediate vicinity and is perfect when the sun is shining. There is an unbelievable natural diversity to discover on 5,400 hectares. In the moors, along the lakes, in the various forests and on the fields of the park, moufflons, deer, wild boars and many other wild animals live. To go on a little exploration tour, lodge guests can use the 1,800 freely available white bicycles in the national park. Around 40 kilometers of cycle paths are available to explore the area extensively. Alternatively, the local forest rangers love to go on guided hikes and show you the special features of the park. Children’s safaris are also possible, where you can even spend the night under the starry sky. Anyone interested in art and culture should not miss the Kröller-Müller Museum in the national park. In addition to a great sculpture park, it also contains many works by Van Gogh.

A visit to Burgers’ Zoo, less than 20 kilometers away, is extremely worthwhile. Exciting animals such as Sumatran tigers, water monitors, aardvarks and gorillas await visitors there. For younger guests, the adventure land in the zoo in the form of a large playground is another highlight. Since the play area is divided for the smallest and larger children, each child can play age-appropriately while the parents treat themselves to a little break with coffee and cake.
