Swap the predictable hotel room for a designer safari tent or a floating dome on Friesland’s glittering lakes. Glamping in this northern Dutch province combines the comforts of plush beds and private bathrooms with direct access to Frisian nature, culture and endless water sports. Here you can sip morning coffee while grebes dive off your deck, then cycle straight from camp to centuries-old terp villages.
Many glampsites sit on canals or lakes, giving you a front-row seat to Friesland’s aquatic playground. Instead of towing a caravan or pitching a tent, you arrive to find everything set up: wood-burning stove, fully equipped kitchenette and sometimes even a hot tub overlooking the water.
Friesland prizes green tourism. Expect solar panels, rainwater showers and locally sourced breakfast boxes brimming with Fryske dúmkes biscuits, organic cheese and farm-fresh eggs. You enjoy hotel-level luxury while leaving a minimal footprint.
Spring brings carpets of wildflowers along dikes, summer offers endless daylight for sailing, autumn paints reed beds amber and winter can freeze lakes for epic skating tours. Well-insulated glamping domes make every season inviting.
This network of interconnected lakes is a paradise for sailing, paddleboarding and canoeing. Even novices can rent a sloop and navigate calm waters framed by windmills and meadowland.
Cycle or boat between the famous Eleven Cities such as Sneek and Hindeloopen. Each offers cobbled lanes, wooden bridge crossings and ornate gables that whisper stories of the Golden Age.
Friesland’s north coast borders the Wadden Sea, a tidal wonderland where you can walk on the seabed during guided mudflat hikes and spot seals lounging on sandbanks.
Drive inland to find ancient terp villages built on man-made mounds that kept farms safe from flooding. Apple orchards and fieldstone churches create postcard-perfect scenery.
Friesland has its own official language, Frisian. Locals greet visitors with “Bliuw mar lekker sliepe” meaning “Sleep well.” Glampsites often host small workshops in Frisian baking, clog painting or folk music.
Rent a stand-up paddleboard or small sailboat at dawn when the water is mirror-calm and birds are most active.
Cover a segment of the iconic Elfstedentocht skating trail on two wheels. Flat terrain and waymarked paths make it accessible for all fitness levels.
Book a spot on a traditional skûtsje cargo barge for an afternoon regatta and learn to hoist the giant brown sails alongside seasoned skippers.
Join a local guide to gather wild sea kale and marsh samphire, then grill them over a campfire back at your tent for the freshest zero-kilometer dinner imaginable.
Friesland has some of the Netherlands’ darkest skies. Many glampsites provide wood-fired tubs where you can soak while spotting the Milky Way and maybe a shooting star.
Glamping in Friesland blends award-winning Dutch design with watery wilderness, vintage sailboats and terp villages that feel frozen in time. Wake up lakeside, explore by bike or boat, and end each day beneath vast starry skies in comfort and style.
