Landal expands its range of holiday parks on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug in the Netherlands

Landal, the market leader in nature holidays, is expanding its offer on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug in The Netherlands with four luxury holiday parks. Two of them, Soof Heuvelrug and Soof aan de Rijn, are part of Soof Retreats, with which Landal began partnering at the end of October. At the same time, De Thijmse Berg and Buytenplaets Rhenen will also be added to the offer. These two parks are owned by the same entrepreneur as Soof Retreats. All four destinations offer a unique blend of comfort, tranquility and nature experiences and can be booked via www.landal.com.

Collaboration with a vision of luxury and nature

"With Soof Retreats' two parks, Buytenplaets Rhenen and De Thijmse Berg, we are proud to welcome four luxury holiday destinations that are strongly connected to nature. The parks are a great addition to our existing offering and perfectly match what many of our guests are looking for. Luxury accommodation in an interesting region with many hiking and cycling opportunities in beautiful natural surroundings," says Jeannette ten Kate, spokesperson for Landal.

Jurjen van Dijk, founder of Soof Retreats, Buytenplaets Rhenen and De Thijmse Berg, adds: "With Landal we have found a partner who shares our values. This allows us to make our parks accessible to a wider and, above all, more international audience, while remaining true to the quality and identity of our parks.

Unique holiday experience in the Heuvelrug and Betuwe

Soof Heuvelrug is located in the centre of the Utrecht Ridge, opposite the Kwintelooijen recreation area. This sustainable park is unique because of its luxurious eco-lodges with wellness options and its location in the Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park. This boutique holiday park offers guests various facilities such as an outdoor swimming pool, massage service and a brasserie. The surroundings are perfect for hiking and cycling through the forests of Utrechtse Heuvelrug. It is also an excellent base for visiting the historic Grebbeberg, the Ouwehands Dierenpark and the atmospheric culinary city of Rhenen, located on the Rhine.

Soof aan de Rijn is ideally located in the Betuwe, right on the waters of the Lower Rhine. The park offers an experience of luxury and nature where guests can relax and enjoy the best the region has to offer. Running largely on its own renewable energy, Soof aan de Rijn is one of the first holiday parks in the Netherlands to be virtually independent of the national energy grid.

In addition, smaller facilities will be built, including an indoor swimming pool, which will also be connected to the off-grid network. Work is currently underway to create 26 cabins in the second phase, while the third and final phase with 30 cabins will soon be put up for sale.

De Thijmse Berg is set amidst the beautiful nature of Rhenen with spacious holiday homes on Utrecht Hill Ridge. The park offers various facilities for young and old, such as an outdoor swimming pool, playground, indoor play paradise and an atmospheric brasserie Sorella's.

Thanks to its central location, the park is an excellent base for hiking over the Grebbeberg, cycling through the Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park or for a day trip to Ouwehands Dierenpark.

Buytenplaets Rhenen is an extension of the authentic Remmerstein estate and at the foot of the Grebbeberg, surrounded by the nature and tranquility of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. The modern holiday homes offer every comfort and a spacious terrace overlooking nature. Guests can make use of De Thijmse Berg's facilities, which include an outdoor swimming pool and brasserie Sorella's.

Even more holiday experiences in the region

In addition to Soof Heuvelrug, Soof aan de Rijn, De Thijmse Berg and Buytenplaets Rhenen, Landal Amerongse Berg is also located on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. With the arrival of these four parks, Landal’s holiday offering expands in a valuable way for guests who want to discover nature and culture while relaxing and enjoying quality time with their partner or family.
