Slow travel in the Netherlands

28 November 2025

Life moves fast. True mental rest is a rare luxury. Slow travel brings it back. You do not need long-haul flights. Head north: Friesland, Groningen, Overijssel and Drenthe. Wide skies, still water, frozen canals, snow-dusted fields, mineral springs rising in the cold air, and stars that feel close enough to touch. A landscape made for sleep, quiet, reflection — and if doing nothing is too ambitious, at least doing less. Further south, a different kind of calm. Limburg’s soft hills and Zeeland’s endless beaches. Sea, wind, light. The kind of horizon that clears the mind without asking for anything in return. This is the essence of slow travel, and the rhythm of our Wellbeing hotels in PureandCure’s collection. Think of them as short retreats, or mini spa breaks. Small hotels tucked into the forest, set on farmland or by the coast. Thoughtful spa and wellness programs. Wood-burning stoves, long walking and cycling paths, natural hot springs. Saunas with floor-to-ceiling views that do the work of meditation for you. Bring a book, or simply sit. The goal is not productivity. It is presence. A pause from deadlines and inboxes. A few days in which the body exhales, the mind unclenches, and you remember how it feels to live at human speed.
