Strandhotel Het Hoge Duin - Wijk aan Zee

4-star beachfront hotel perched 40 meters above sea level on a dune in Wijk aan Zee

Location & Views

Strandhotel Het Hoge Duin sits 40 meters atop a dune right on the coast, offering panoramic sea views from rooms, restaurant, and skybar. The neighbouring terraces and six meeting rooms all face the North Sea, providing unmatched vistas in the Dutch hotel landscape. Wijk aan Zee Beach, the dune area, and the village centre with cafés and restaurants are within walking distance, while cities such as Amsterdam, Haarlem, Alkmaar, and Beverwijk are a short drive away.

Rooms & Design

The Het Hoge Duin hotel features a retro-chic style that creates a warm atmosphere inside the newly renovated building. Guest rooms include spacious layouts with balconies, and some come with small kitchenettes; the Landside Rooms offer parking views, while Sea View rooms directly overlook the beach. All rooms provide free WiFi, tea/coffee makers, and private bathrooms with either bath or shower, along with wheelchair-accessible options.

Dining & Skybar

The on-site restaurant serves European cuisine with a buffet format for both dinner and breakfast, and the breakfast spread receives consistently high marks from guests. The accompanying Skybar offers sunset views over the sea from its outdoor patio, making it a central gathering spot. Special diet menus, kids' meals, and wine/champagne are available, and packed lunches can be arranged for day trips.

Wellness & Activities

The hotel has a fitness centre with new equipment and a sauna, both accessible to guests. On-site bike hire lets visitors explore the surrounding dunes and nearby national park Zuid-Kennemerland. The outdoor sun terrace and beachfront location provide direct access to the North Sea coast, and the property offers a vending machine for snacks and drinks.

Business & Family Services

Six meeting rooms with sea views make Strandhotel Het Hoge Duin suitable for business travellers needing scenic workspaces. Families are accommodated with family rooms, a children's menu, and a 24-hour front desk that can assist with local transportation.
